Other iPhone 18 Pro expectations: What feature will be the game changer in 2026?

[zalchi]

I guess we just got a sneak peek of the trend of the iPhones until the next decade. What could be a feature next year makes the iPhone 18 Pros brighter than ever?

New camera feature? A fourth camera on the back?
Something new with the display?
Exclusive software function?
A new hardware element?
New exclusive accessory?

Is there anything new Apple can put in iPhone to make it even better?

No notch and no camera bump!

Mechanical aperture like Pura 70.

Smaller Dynamic Island.

Foldable device above the Pro.

Phones have peaked, not much else to add if at all, maybe more open software..don’t really care or notice Dynamic Island

Fold.

sapphire glass

wireless high-resolution audio

four speakers

Fourth camera (second main wide) for better quality and portrait spatial video

Thermal camera

I’d like to see some significant enhancement to the cameras. The main camera’s sensor hasn’t changed in four generations. Go for bigger. Really push the hardware to its limits. Variable aperture. Maybe even some mechanical optics for focus/zoom options.

This is not going to happen but I'm hoping they add more physical cameras instead of optical quality options.
