New features of the iPhone 18 Pro revealed: it will be translucent, allowing you to see the technology that powers it

Leaks reignite debate surrounding Apple’s next big bet. According to a video posted by Topes de Gama on social media, we now know—at least on paper—the six key features that will debut on the future iPhone 18 Pro, a device that appears to be a mix of aesthetic evolution and significant technical improvements.

Smaller Dynamic Island

The first change affects Dynamic Island, the space that houses the front camera and Face ID system. According to the leak, Apple has managed to reduce its size, which would mean less interference when using the screen. For many users—and also for the creators of the video—this change would be a relief that has been eagerly awaited for years.

Translucent back

The most striking change would be at the back of the device. The MagSafe connection area, which this year is covered by a small square of glass, would become translucent. Not completely transparent, but enough to reveal part of the internal technology responsible for wireless charging. An unusual aesthetic gesture for Apple that could mark a leap forward in its visual identity.

There would also be significant developments in the field of photography. The leak suggests that the main sensor would incorporate variable aperture, a feature that would allow for more precise adjustment of light input and offer more professional performance in photography.

The three expected changes:

The last three developments are quite obvious, but that does not make them any less relevant.

• The new A20 Pro processor, a natural evolution within Apple’s catalog.
• A C2 modem, successor to the C1 recently integrated into the iPhone Air, which would update connectivity capabilities.
• And a redesigned camera button, cleaner and more functional, designed to avoid elements that were previously annoying to use.

With each new generation, Apple demonstrates that its strategy is to polish, refine, and optimize what already works, rather than make drastic changes. These leaks about the iPhone 18 Pro fit perfectly with that philosophy: small improvements in design, consistent technical advances, and a distinctive touch—such as the translucent area—that adds personality without breaking with the established line.

If these features ultimately make it into the final model, the iPhone 18 Pro could establish itself as another firm step forward in the company’s roadmap: the constant, discreet but effective evolution that keeps Apple at the top of the industry year after year.
