Leaker: Anniversary iPhone Pro to keep Dynamic Island cutout
Digital Chat Station says Face ID is expected to stay, so the redesigned Pro model will retain the display cutout rather than go hole-free.
Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station said the upcoming anniversary iPhone Pro model will keep a display cutout for the Dynamic Island instead of adopting a hole-free display, according to 9to5mac.com.
According to the leaker, the device is still expected to retain the Dynamic Island cutout. Digital Chat Station also said Face ID is expected on the device, which makes the Dynamic Island likely to remain.
It is unclear whether the Dynamic Island will be the same size as on the iPhone 18 Pro.
Early rumors had suggested the redesigned device could drop the Dynamic Island for an all-glass display with no cutouts, as Apple is rumored to be planning a major iPhone Pro redesign for the iPhone's 20th anniversary.
In a post the day before, Digital Chat Station outlined three iPhone models coming in early 2027: the iPhone 18e, iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2. The iPhone 18 is expected to get two Pro-inspired upgrades.
