Apple’s Big Selfie Shock! iPhone 18 Pro May Get Huge 24MP Camera Boost

A fresh rumour claims that the iPhone 18 Pro may get a major front camera boost. This news comes after a past report in November said that Apple would upgrade the selfie camera on the whole iPhone 18 series. Now, a new tip says the change may be kept for the Pro models only. The tip comes from Whylab and it claims the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are both getting a 24MP selfie camera.

This matches what we've heard before and would be a solid step up from Apple. Since we use the front lens for everything from video calls to social posts, the jump to 24MP should make every shot look a lot sharper.

A 24MP front camera should help in more ways than one. Selfies may look crisper, with better skin tone and fine detail. Video calls could also look clearer, which is great for work and chat.

Low-light shots may see a boost, too. Many users take selfies at night or in rooms with soft light. A stronger sensor can help bring out more light and cut down on blur.

It is not just about more pixels. A new sensor often means better image tools and smarter image work behind the scenes. Apple has long put focus on photo quality, so this move would fit that trend.

There is more to this rumour than just the camera. The iPhone 18 Pro line is also said to have a much smaller Dynamic Island. Some parts of Face ID may move under the screen. That could give users more screen space and a cleaner look.

Apple is set to show the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September this year. They are also set to launch with the iPhone Fold.

As always, these are still rumours. But if they are true, the iPhone 18 Pro line may bring one of the biggest front camera jumps in years. For selfie fans, that could be reason enough to wait.
