FaceID/Dynamic Island: The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to feature a smaller, left-aligned punch-hole selfie camera on the display, as some FaceID components will now be placed under the screen. The Dynamic Island will still exist, but it will be smaller than the current iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
Processor: The upcoming flagship is expected to be powered by the Apple A20 Pro chipset. The chipset is codenamed Borneo Ultra, and it is expected to build on TSMC’s 2nm process.
