Apple’s latest iPhone 18 Pro has sparked debate over its Dynamic Island. Earlier reports suggested the device might ditch the feature entirely, but a reliable source clarified that the selfie camera will stay centered and a smaller Face ID cutout will remain. The confusion has now eased for consumers and industry.

The clarified layout keeps the selfie camera in the center of the display, with a reduced Face ID notch. The Dynamic Island remains unchanged, preserving the interactive overlay that users have grown accustomed to. Apple’s design team confirmed the plan, citing a mistranslation in earlier leaks for the upcoming release.

Apple’s ambition to hide Face ID and the selfie camera under a single slab of glass traces back to former design chief Jony Ive. The industry has watched as each iteration pushes the bezel toward zero, and the 18 Pro’s confirmation signals that the company still prioritizes a familiar user experience over radical change.

Consumers will now focus on the 18 Pro’s launch window, spec details, and how the retained Dynamic Island will perform with new software. Analysts predict that keeping the feature may ease the transition for users, while designers eye the next generation of under‑display cameras. Watch for Apple’s keynote in February.
