The topic iPhone 18 Pro: Three new design updates are coming this year<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will launch this fall, and in addition to packing a variety of new features, there are three design changes reportedly coming. Here\u2019s what rumors say to expect.<\/p>\n

Among the iPhone 17 Pro\u2019s several design changes, colors have clearly been a big hit, and no one seems to mind the full-width camera plateau.<\/p>\n

One design decision, however, has been a bit more polarizing: the two-tone rear glass and aluminum.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, it sounds like Apple plans to address that with the iPhone 18 Pro.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 18 Pro series features a redesigned back glass that minimizes color difference between the glass and the aluminum back panel. A seamless, unified look.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m in the camp of users who find the two-tone colors a bad look, so I\u2019m excited to see Apple move a different direction with the iPhone 18 Pro.<\/p>\n

After a variety of conflicting early reports, we now have more clarity around what\u2019s happening with the front of the iPhone 18 Pro. Screen sizes between Pro and Pro Max models are expected to stay the same as their predecessors, but the front cutout has been a big question mark.<\/p>\n

Though some prior reporting said iPhone 18 Pro would have a hole-punch cutout instead of a standard Dynamic Island, the latest evidence points heavily toward a smaller Dynamic Island design.<\/p>\n

Rumors say the new Dynamic Island will be about 35% smaller on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.<\/p>\n

Some Face ID components are reportedly being moved under the display, but not all of them. Thus, Apple isn\u2019t moving to a hole-punch design\u2014at least not yet.<\/p>\n

Apple did something surprising with the iPhone 17 Pro: it offered bold, fun color options.<\/p>\n

Cosmic Orange in particular has been a huge hit, proving that Apple\u2019s shift away from basic shades of white, black, and gray was a good move.<\/p>\n

Rumors indicate the company plans to continue offering fun Pro colors with the iPhone 18 Pro. Though with the launch months away, there\u2019s still plenty of uncertainty around exactly what those colors will be.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Dark Cherry\u2019 color has been described by others as a mix of burgundy, coffee, and deep purple. It\u2019s expected to be the standout option that\u2019s featured heavily in Apple\u2019s marketing.<\/p>\n
