iPhone 18: Same Dynamic Island, minimal design changes overall
Earlier today, a notable Weibo leaker offered good news for the timing of the iPhone Fold’s launch.
But over the weekend, a pair of posts from another leaker—Fixed Focus Digital—covered two of Apple’s other forthcoming iPhones.
Regarding the base iPhone 18, he wrote:
The standard model of the iPhone 18 will see virtually no changes to its exterior design—aside from a potential minor tweak to its dimensions.
