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.
