Hello! So in this article MacRumors wrote: «To illustrate, Instant Digital shared an image of a Face ID sensor assembly made up of three distinct modules mounted on a single flex cable: an infrared flood illuminator on the left, and a centered dot projector with an infrared camera to its right.», and attached this image
with written underneath: «Face ID module image shared by Instant Digital»... like if that were an actual image of the real iPhone 18 Pro notch components, and I've seen many posts on various social medias also believe this image to be a real leaked image of the iPhone 18 Pro notch components.
But if you just look at that image for a second you'll notice that something is not right—look at those two black stripes under the selfie camera (right) that magically disappear under the IR projector (middle) and reappear betwren the projector and the IR camera (left).
So, what I did was cut the image and rearrange the components until it made sense and I got this:
(weibo photo on the left, rearranged one on the right)
Which is the iPhone 13 notch components:
So I think that Instant Digital photoshopped an image of the iPhone 13 notch components just to show us what the iPhone 18 Pro notch should look like, so the image wasn't supposed to be taken as a leaked image of the iPhone 18 Pro notch components.
It's funny how Istant Digital just clarified a rumor that was mistranslated and now we misunderstand the meaning of the image they posted😂
(I don't know if someone had already said this, I just wanted to clarify this as I've seen literally everyone believe Instant Digital's image to be the Face ID components of the iPhone 18 Pro.)
Cheers!
