Apple’s next flagship, the iPhone 18 Pro, might get a major front redesign, a new report claims, marking one of the most significant changes to the iPhone’s display layout in years. According to multiple industry reports, Apple could move Face ID sensors under the screen and reposition the front-facing camera, fundamentally altering the look of the front panel.

A new report from The Information suggests the iPhone 18 Pro might get a major front redesign, new report claims with Face ID components hidden beneath the display.

This design shift would significantly increase screen real estate and could create a more immersive display experience for users.
