As Apple advances toward their aspiration of a genuine all-screen iPhone, it appears that the iPhone 18 will bring them nearer to that objective.
There have been longstanding mixed signals regarding when the Dynamic Island might finally undergo a redesign. Most recently, there was speculation that the iPhone 17 could feature a smaller Dynamic Island, yet that didn’t materialize. Nevertheless, according to Instant Digital on Weibo, the iPhone 18 series will showcase a narrower Dynamic Island cutout, though it will not yet transition to an under-screen Face ID or front-facing camera:
>The iPhone 18 series is simply a slightly narrower pill; it does not feature a single camera, nor does it include under-screen Face ID or an under-screen camera. (translated via Google Translate)
Instant Digital has delivered accurate details in the past, such as the iPhone 14 in Yellow and a landscape front camera on the 2024 iPad Air. However, they have also issued some incorrect information, so consider this when evaluating the rumor.
### Wrap up
Since its launch with the iPhone 14 Pro, the Dynamic Island has remained unchanged in dimensions or design; thus, a narrower iteration would represent a notable alteration. It would also imply that when the Dynamic Island is operational for functions like Live Activities, it would occupy less space on your display and within your status bar.
