iPhone 18 Pro retains camera design
Potential glass cutout changes hinted
iPhone 17e features Dynamic Island display
Display limited to 60Hz refresh rate
No details on base iPhone 18 yet
Comments open for design suggestions
This news covers upcoming iPhone models, including new design insights and features shared by a noted leaker.
iPhone 18 Pro design specifics
The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to maintain the same rear camera layout as the 17 Pro. This means that the full-width camera platform will look similar, though there may be changes to the glass cutout beneath it. The leaker suggests it will have a slightly different transparent appearance.
Alongside new color options, these variations could refresh the phone’s overall aesthetic while keeping the familiar design intact.
iPhone 17e enhancements laid out
For the budget-friendly iPhone 17e, this model will introduce the Dynamic Island display, moving away from the simple notch design seen in the current iPhone 16e. While this is exciting news, the display will only support a 60Hz refresh rate, which is less than what’s available on premium models.
This limited refresh rate isn’t surprising following the latest releases, as Apple only just integrated ProMotion technology in the iPhone 17 series. Users interested in that feature may need to wait longer for its inclusion in more affordable models.

Base model iPhone 18 details missing
No specifics have surfaced for the standard iPhone 18 design at this point, leaving potential customers in the dark about what to expect. Nevertheless, the focus remains on the Pro and ‘e’ models for now.
