iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max leaks suggest Apple may be looking to bump the display up big time

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature taller displays compared to the current iPhone 17 series models. A fresh leaked image also hints at a reduced Dynamic Island size.

In Short

• iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max display size leaked
• They are likely to come out taller than the current iPhone 17 models
• The stander iPhone 18 could launch next year

Apple’s smartphones, aka iPhones, remain among the most anticipated devices every year. This time, the upcoming next-generation iPhones could bring a notable design upgrade. While Apple has not officially revealed any details about the successors to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max yet, the rumour mill has already started giving us an idea of what to expect from the anticipated iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Ahead of their expected September debut, a fresh leak suggests that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature taller and slightly narrower displays, along with a smaller Dynamic Island cutout.

Tipster Majin, who goes by the handle @MajinBuOfficial on X, shared images of purported protective films for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The leaked images have sparked speculation that Apple could increase the display sizes of the next-generation iPhones. Rumours suggest the iPhone 18 Pro may feature a display of around 6.4 inches, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max could sport a nearly 7-inch panel. But if the rumours do not turn out to be true, then these smartphones could retain the same panel size as the current models. The current iPhone 17 Pro features a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch panel.

A move to taller displays would mark a noticeable design shift, as Apple has largely kept the front design of its Pro iPhones unchanged for several generations.

How many iPhones could we see this year

On the internet now, the major buzz is around three iPhones — iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone Fold, aka iPhone Ultra. From time to time, rumours also surface about these variants, but not much about the standard iPhone 18 or other models. Why? It may be because this year could only see three smartphone variants: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold. While the standard iPhone 18, along with the iPhone 18e and iPhone Air, are expected to break cover next year. Along with this, the upcoming iPhone 18 series could include six smartphones.

Design-wise, rumours surrounding the Dynamic Island have also been surfacing from ocationally, with reports suggesting that Apple could reduce its size by around 25 to 35 per cent. However, Apple has not officially confirmed any of these details yet, so readers should take this information with a grain of salt.
