The iPhone 18 Pro Max will have major changes.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - The Face ID facial recognition sensor system on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be moved to the bottom of the screen.

In a recent post on the social media platform Weibo, the account Digital Chat Station revealed that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will have screen sizes of 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively, similar to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max generations.

The most notable upgrade comes from the Face ID facial recognition sensor system, which will be moved to the bottom of the screen. This change will help reduce the size of the punch-hole cutout, thereby providing more display space.

Additionally, the front camera will likely be moved to the left side. However, it is currently unclear whether the Dynamic Island feature will be retained on these two devices.

Most likely, the under-display Face ID system will only appear on the iPhone Pro models. The two standard iPhone 18 models and the iPhone Air 2 will retain the design of their predecessors. This is how Apple typically categorizes its product lines.

According to ETNews , the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the first iPhones from Apple to feature a camera system with variable aperture, offering greater flexibility in all lighting conditions.

This feature allows users to adjust the amount of light entering the sensor depending on the shooting environment. Specifically, when shooting in low light conditions, the aperture will automatically widen to capture more light, resulting in brighter and more detailed images.

Conversely, when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight, the aperture will narrow, preventing overexposure and helping to reproduce colors more accurately.

In addition, changing the aperture allows the camera to better control the depth of field, thereby improving the quality of portrait photos by making the subject stand out more against the background.

According to multiple supply chain sources, Apple is facing a major challenge related to a shortage of memory components. This is putting considerable pressure on the production of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Demand for high-performance memory is skyrocketing globally. This market shortage is pushing Apple into challenging negotiations with its supply partners.

According to IBTimes , a price increase for the iPhone 18 series is almost inevitable. Analysts estimate that the price of the iPhone 18 could rise by $50-$100, depending on Apple's negotiating skills with memory suppliers.
