The iPhone 18 could also end up with a smaller Dynamic Island because of an under-screen Face ID sensor, Android Authority theorizes. This would give the handset a more stylish, streamlined look and could potentially allow room for another rumored change \u2014 a variable wide-angle lens for the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, all these details are speculative.The iPhone 18 is likely nearly two years away, and a lot can change during that time.Supply chain hurdles and shifting priorities may impact the final product, so these early reports should be taken with a grain of caution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although the iPhone 18 won\u2019t hit shelves until late 2026, early leaks are already fueling excitement and concerns.
