iPhone 18 Pro leak says Dynamic Island could shrink 35% — and Face ID may move under the screen

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro might feature a slimmer “Dynamic Island”—that pill-shaped cutout housing the selfie camera and Face ID sensors—according to a new leak suggesting a narrower opening. Shares of Apple slipped about 0.2% in premarket trading. This buzz is significant since Apple has been treading carefully toward a sleeker, more immersive display while keeping Face ID intact. Reducing the size of the visible cutout would mark the first major front-design change in years—an upgrade Apple could tout as a step closer to a true all-screen iPhone.

iPhone 18 Pro leak: Under-screen Face ID could shrink the Dynamic Island — and suppliers are lining up

Apple’s upcoming high-end iPhones are reportedly set to feature under-screen Face ID and a narrower “Dynamic Island” cutout, according to new supply-chain leaks and posts from insiders on Monday. MacRumors highlighted a now-deleted tweet from the X account “ShrimpApplePro” that said the Dynamic Island would be “shorter” and some Face ID components would shift beneath the display. The timing is crucial since Apple’s Pro models usually pack the biggest upgrades and yield higher margins. Display components get finalized long before launch, so even minor tweaks—like a shift or shrink in the cutout—can cascade through panel design, sensor packaging, and supplier arrangements.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leak: Price may hold, but perks could shrink as “Ultraviolet” color tips emerge

Samsung Electronics is mulling a reduction in launch promotions for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, aiming to hold the line on prices even as component costs climb, according to South Korea’s iNews24 on Tuesday. https://www.inews24.com/view/1929548 The pricing debate is urgent as memory costs, a major expense in premium phones, have spiked. This jump comes as suppliers redirect capacity to AI servers, tightening supply and squeezing margins in consumer electronics. Macquarie noted in a report that these supply constraints and higher prices are hitting near-term demand—but it sees the impact as a delay rather than a drop.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks: four colors and a “realistic” camera shift before Feb. 25 launch talk

Samsung’s next Galaxy S flagship is already being mapped out in leaks, with fresh reports pointing to a four-color Galaxy S26 Ultra and a shift toward less-processed photos as the company heads into its expected late-February launch window. The timing matters because Samsung’s Ultra model is one of the most watched premium Android phones, and the camera is where buyers still expect visible gains. With hardware upgrades slowing, changes in software — how a phone “develops” a photo after you tap the shutter — can be the bigger story.

Samsung Galaxy S26 “Privacy Display” leak: One UI 8.5 could bring built‑in screen privacy — and the iPhone 17 may not match it

A wave of One UI 8.5 leaks suggests Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra could debut a “Privacy Display” that dims the screen from side angles, with quick toggles and smart automation. Samsung’s next flagship wave is already being shaped by software leaks—and the biggest surprise isn’t a new camera sensor or faster chip. Instead, multiple reports published over the last 48 hours point to a new “Privacy Display” feature coming with One UI 8.5 and the Galaxy S26 series, designed to make your screen harder to read from side angles—the classic “shoulder surfing” scenario on trains, planes, cafés, and office hot desks.

Huawei Pura 90 Ultra Leak: April 2026 Launch with Monster 1/1.28″ Camera and 7,300mAh Battery

Huawei’s Pura series was born in spring 2024, and insiders now say the Pura 90 will revert to that schedule. According to a HuaweiCentral leak, the Pura 90 lineup is likely to hit the market in April 2026 huaweicentral.com. In context, Pura 80 models only arrived in June 2025 after delays for camera and chip tweaks huaweicentral.com, so moving back to April suggests Huawei is streamlining its roadmap.

The first Pura phone launched in April 2024 huaweicentral.com, so this would put the Pura 90 exactly two years later on the same calendar, reinforcing it as Huawei’s annual imaging flagship.
