Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro and its first foldable iPhone later this year.
The iPhone 18 Pro will use LTPO+ OLED panels from Samsung and LG, improving efficiency and battery life over the iPhone 17.
CAD renders show a smaller Dynamic Island that may stem from under-screen Face ID, though tipsters say the redesign could be delayed to the iPhone 19 lineup and BOE will not supply LTPO+ displays.

Apple is expected to price the iPhone 18 Pro at about INR1,39,900 in India, with the iPhone 18 Pro Max near INR1,59,900.
The launch may add six new Pro colors—Burgundy, Coffee Brown, Light Blue, Dark Cherry, Silver and Dark Gray.

Apple Shrinks Island

Mark Gurman and several Weibo sources say Apple will shrink but keep the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro.
Digital Chat Station, a Chinese leaker, claims a smaller Dynamic Island will not appear until the iPhone 19.
The circulating CAD images are easy to fake because anyone with basic 3D software can create them.
