First iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max screen protectors reveal taller displays: Is a 7-inch iPhone coming?

Following the leaked iPhone 18, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max cases we showed you earlier, we get our first look at what are believed to be screen protectors for Apple's 2026 flagships.

There are two notable design elements. The first is the much smaller selfie camera cutout, which is in line with long-standing rumors of a 25-35% smaller Dynamic Island. The smaller hole you see in the protective glass is perhaps specifically there for the selfie camera.

Leaked iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max screen protectors show a taller aspect ratio: Could Apple break the 7-inch display barrier?

However, the second notable difference compared to the design of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max appears to be a slightly taller, narrower aspect ratio, a design change that hasn't been mentioned in previous leaks. Of course, unofficial images should always be taken with a dose of skepticism, but it would be quite interesting to see Apple adopt a taller display for the iPhone 18 Pro series.

A taller aspect ratio for the regular iPhones would be in contrast with the super-wide cover screen of the foldable iPhone Ultra, but perhaps that is the whole point? If the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max end up with taller/narrower panels, this could bring their diagonal measurements to at least 6.4-inches for the 18 Pro and 7-inches for the 18 Pro Max model.

There’s only one way to find out if Apple is indeed going to break the 7-inch display barrier, and this is to wait for the official announcement of the iPhone 18 Pro series in September. Or further leaks. Stay tuned!
