The design looks very much like the designs seen in the previous leaks. It consists of two rear cameras situated in a horizontal arrangement in a pill-shaped module which is similar to the current iPhone 17 model. However, unlike the iPhone 17, the flash and an additional sensor are located further apart from the camera module. Overall, the back camera design looks quite familiar to the one found in Apple’s Pro models, except for one sensor.
The leaked picture also confirms that the new iPhone 18 will support MagSafe charging. Furthermore, on the front side of the device, we can see that the selfie camera is placed within Apple’s famous Dynamic Island, which is essentially a pill-shaped opening instead of a hole-like opening.
