Later this year, Apple is expected to announce its new iPhone 18 lineup. For those planning to upgrade to this year’s models, Digital Chat Station has shared the alleged display sizes for the upcoming iPhone 18 series. Plus, there’s a potentially redesigned Dynamic Island for the iPhone 18 Pro variants. So, let’s take a look and see what we might be able to expect.
iPhone 18 display sizes revealed, redesigned “punch-hole” Dynamic Island for Pro models
The post reveals the alleged display sizes for the iPhone 18 series. The base model could feature a 6.27-inch screen. The iPhone Air 2 may pack a 6.55-inch display. Then, for the Pro and Pro Max models, we’re looking at 6.27-inches and 6.86-inches respectively.
For context, this is pretty much the same as last year’s models. This means that for 2026, we shouldn’t expect to see any huge changes . This is the same for the iPhone Air 2, which sports a display similar to last year’s model. All models are also expected to continue using LTPO display panels with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The post also includes a rather interesting detail. It mentions a “ newly redesigned under-display cutout area ” for Pro variants. However, don’t expect to see a full under-display Face ID system on the iPhone 18 Pro. Instead, it seems Apple will keep only the camera sensor visible, while the others will be imperceptible to the naked eye. Basically, you’ll only see a classic punch-hole on the iPhone 18 Pro, but the entire Dynamic Island and Face ID system will be there.
But wait, something’s not right
Digital Chat Station has largely been a reliable tipster. Their information has proven to be accurate more often than not. However, in this case, we are a little confused. For starters, it mentions the iPhone Air 2. Following the dismal sales of the iPhone Air last year, there were rumors claiming Apple might cancel the series. However, we later heard that Apple might make it an irregular release instead .
Also, 2026 might see Apple change its lineup schedule. Usually Apple announces four new iPhones every year. However, a rumor dating back to August 2025 claims Apple might split it up. This means that we’ll get the Pro and Pro Max models this year, but the iPhone 18 base could be released in 2027 . To be fair, the post doesn’t mention anything about a release date, so maybe those rumors are still on track.
Lastly, it’s odd that the post fails to mention the foldable iPhone . Without a doubt, that’s going to be Apple’s biggest launch this year. Either Digital Chat Station knows something we don’t, or they couldn’t get ahold of the final specs yet. In any case, there’s still a long way to go before the official announcement, so take it with a grain of salt.
