The latest rumors suggest Apple is preparing a significant design change for the iPhone 18 Pro line, possibly related to the placement of the front camera. At the same time, the first foldable iPhone model is rumored to be more compact.

According to the latest rumors, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max lines are expected to feature a major and potentially controversial design change, focusing on the placement of the front camera. Additionally, information about the first foldable iPhone also reveals an unexpected product direction.

Major design changes for the iPhone 18 Pro.

Recent reports suggest that Apple is heading towards a more significant change than expected for the iPhone 18 Pro generation. This change is believed to involve the placement of the selfie camera, a design element that Apple has continuously improved across generations, from the notch to Dynamic Island.

While specific details about the new front camera placement haven't been revealed, describing the change as "controversial" suggests Apple may be experimenting with a groundbreaking solution, completely different from current designs on the market. This could be another step in the company's efforts to achieve a truly full-screen device.

Foldable iPhones may have a compact size.

Besides information about the iPhone 18 Pro, sources also provided some details about the long-awaited foldable iPhone project. Notably, this device is said to be "very compact".

The term "compact" might suggest that Apple is developing a clamshell-style foldable iPhone, similar to the Galaxy Z Flip series, rather than a large tablet. This direction would focus on portability and convenience for carrying in a pocket, rather than maximizing screen space. However, this is still preliminary information and needs to be verified in the future.
