The tech world is buzzing with new leaks regarding Apple’s 2026 lineup. While we are still months away from the official reveal, supply chain reports from late January 2026 suggest that the iPhone 18 Pro will be the most radical redesign since the iPhone X. Here is everything we know:
1. The End of the Centered Selfie Camera?
In a controversial move, Apple is reportedly testing a design where the selfie camera moves to the top-left corner of the display. Why? Because the Face ID sensors are finally moving under the screen. By shifting the camera, Apple can slim down the Dynamic Island even further, or replace it with a smaller, corner-mounted cutout, offering a more immersive "all-screen" experience.
2. DSLR-Like Variable Aperture:
The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to feature a physical variable aperture on its main 48MP camera. This isn't just software bokeh; it’s a mechanical system that opens and closes the lens. This will allow professional-level control over light intake and natural background blur (depth of field), making the iPhone a true DSLR competitor for low-light photography.
3. The "iPhone Fold" is Real (September 2026):
The most exciting news? Apple is reportedly changing its launch strategy. To prioritize the iPhone Fold, the base iPhone 18 might be delayed to early 2027. This means in September 2026, we might only see the iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and the legendary foldable iPhone. The "Fold" is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a "crease-free" design that Samsung should be worried about.
