Rumours of the iPhone 18 series have been circulating. The latest is that the iPhone 18 Pro line will feature a transparent design which is the trademark of the Nothing Phone series.
The trusted leaker, Digital Chat Station shared on Weibo that the iPhone 18 Pro line will come with a transparent design . Few weeks back, DCS also shared something similar, that the iPhone 18 Pro series would feature a slightly transparent back cover glass.
It isn’t clear how this transparent design would look like. Would it reveal any internal circuitry or just dummy parts? If the rear cover is made transparent, Apple will be taking a leaf from Android manufacturers, particularly Nothing, HTC, and Xiaomi, that are popular for their translucent design. The recently launched Nothing Phone 3 series — 3, 3a, 3a Pro, 3a Lite — also comes with the signature see-through design.
Other than the transparent design, the leak also reveals that Apple is testing a punch-hole cutout design instead of the current Dynamic Island notch. The company is also working on a variable aperture main camera, just like those in Samsung, HUAWEI, and Xiaomi flagships. The Pro Max model, however, might use a steel-cased battery design.
An Apple iPhone with a transparent design is something to look forward to since this is the company’s first. In time, the company will reveal more details about this transparent design of the iPhone 18 Pro line.

Apple has big plans for its lineup of devices over the next few years. It’s exploring every area, from slim phones to foldables and smart glasses. A new leak gives more details about this thin phone lineup and the foldable iPhone.
@MaxWinebach shares a report analysis on supply chain information. While the reports aren’t officially from the company, they still present useful information about the industry market from reliable sources.
Regarding the foldable iPhone, the launch date will likely be in the second half of 2026. It won’t come with a Face ID, but will feature two 24MP selfie cameras, one under the display and the other on the cover screen. It will pack a dual-lens 48MP+48MP setup with an ultrawide sensor but no telephoto lens. Given the thin design of the foldable iPhone, it takes on a minimalist design.
iPhone Air 2
Previous reports showed that the iPhone Air had been facing poor sales, to the extent of not having any consumer demands. We all thought the slim phone lineup would end there. But just like Samsung didn’t give up on slim phones, Apple has refused to back down that easily and has decided to make a follow-up for the model.
The iPhone Air 2 will launch in 2026, while the iPhone Air 3 will be out in 2027. The iPhone Air 2 will likely come with the same single-lens 48MP rear camera as the first Air smartphone.
The report also makes mention of the iPhone 18 devices . It suggests that while the iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e will be launched in 2027, the other iPhone 18 handsets will arrive in September 2026.
