Apple intends to maintain its leading position as the world's largest smartphone brand with the imminent launch of the iPhone 18 series, and to ensure that the launch goes smoothly, the company has started preparations for the line.For example, previous rumors of fixed focus digital cameras that the production lines for the new models have passed the test, and now, a leaker says that the prototype production phase of the new series has begun.What is even more interesting is that the iPhone 18 Pro models are rumored to have Face ID under the display, with two additional surprises, which readers will find out about soon.

Apple may not cancel the second-generation iPhone Air, according to rumors.A base model is also expected to be launched alongside the lineup, but we're not talking about the iPhone Fold.

Due to poor sales of the iPhone Air, which reportedly caused Apple to cut back on production, there has always been a cloud of doubt surrounding the launch of the iPhone Air 2. Fortunately, Digital Chat Station, which has a decent track record on Weibo, shared the display sizes of all four models expected to launch later this year.What's surprising about this reveal is that this person doesn't mention the iPhone Fold, which is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the base model is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18e in the first half of 2027 with a rebrand to iPhone 20.

Instead, based on the information provided, Apple is sticking to its original launch strategy by launching four flagship phones in regular form.While the entire lineup is expected to feature LTPO OLED panels with refresh rates of up to 120Hz, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are reportedly only treated to under-display Face ID.

Also, we don't expect Apple to introduce an under-display front-facing camera in this year's lineup, as this significant change will likely be for its 20th anniversary.As for screen sizes and other technologies, they are listed below:

- iPhone 18 Panel - 6.27-inch LTPO 120Hz with Dynamic Island

- iPhone Air 2 - 6.55-inch LTPO 120Hz panel with dynamic display

- iPhone 18 Pro - 6.27-inch LTPO 120Hz panel with Face ID under the display

- iPhone 18 Pro Max panel - 6.86 inch LTPO 120Hz with Face ID display below

Of course, since we're still in the prototype production phase, we have to keep in mind that there could be other variants that Apple is testing.If the aforementioned devices don't perform as per the company's expectations, we might get a lot of variations this year.
