Latest iPhone 18 Pro Leak Gets Backing From Ross Young — Here’s What It Could Mean for the Dynamic Island
Apple’s next major iPhone redesign may be focused on something users stare at every day: the front display cutout.
A new iPhone 18 Pro rumor suggests Apple could shrink the Dynamic Island instead of moving it to the corner—or removing it entirely. And now, veteran display analyst Ross Young has added credibility to the claim, saying the report matches what he previously hinted at.
MacRumors reports that Young backed the latest explanation from Chinese leaker “Instant Digital,” pointing to a refined approach that keeps the Dynamic Island while making it noticeably smaller.
Why iPhone 18 Pro display rumors have been confusing
Over the past few months, leaks about the iPhone 18 Pro’s front design have included claims of under-display Face ID, a top-left hole-punch selfie camera, and debate over whether the Dynamic Island will shrink, shift, or disappear entirely.
The newest claim: smaller Dynamic Island without a corner cutout
According to the latest leak, Apple may keep the Dynamic Island but make it smaller—without introducing a top-left hole-punch camera cutout this year.
Ross Young’s involvement makes this leak more credible
Ross Young has a strong track record with display forecasting, and his support suggests the leak may align with supply chain expectations.
Final Takeaway
The iPhone 18 Pro’s front display may be headed toward a smaller Dynamic Island, and the rumor is now being supported by Ross Young—one of the most recognizable names in display forecasting.
