Welcome to 9 to 5 Mac Daily for Tuesday, November 25th, 2025.

Leading off today, supply chain leaks indicate that Apple is currently finalizing details for next fall's iPhone 18 lineup.

The latest reporting says that the iPhone 18

Pro will come with at least two key design changes. This year's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max

debuted a bold new design that stands apart from previous pro models in several ways. In

addition to bold new colors like Cosmic Orange, Apple also debuted a new two-tone rear

design, with the glass cut out appearing very distinct from the rest of the aluminum frame. And of

course, Apple expanded the camera bump into a full-width plateau. Many aspects of the iPhone 18

Pro are expected to be the same as the iPhone 17 Pro, including that plateau design on the back.

But there are two areas rumor to change, the dynamic island and the glass cut out on the back.

As for the dynamic island, originally rumors suggested the iPhone 18 Pro would drop the dynamic island altogether and replace

it with a new hole punch design. More recently, though, two sources have indicated we're only

getting a smaller dynamic island. So it's not going to be a dramatic change, but rather an

iteration on the current dynamic island design. Meanwhile, the back of the iPhone 18 Pro is expected to get a

refresh too. Two Apple sources on Waybo say that Apple is implementing a new process for the back

glass cutout to make it blend in more with the aluminum frame of the iPhone 18 Pro. So instead of

that distinct glass cutout, it'll be something more seamless and less obtuse to look at.

Again, these are early rumors about the iPhone 18 Pro, so we expect more details in the coming year.

But for now, that's what we expect for Apple's new flagship coming next year.
