Today a pair of new iPhone 18 Pro-related posts from Weibo leakers have arrived, outlining what to expect from the product’s design, dimensions, and more.
Latest iPhone 18 Pro rumors provide fresh details, but also doubts about one change
The iPhone 18 Pro is only about six months away, and the latest rumors introduce some clarity but also fresh ambiguity into Apple’s purported plans for the device.
From a design standpoint, we’ve been expecting several changes:
- Thicker frame for a larger battery
- Dynamic Island that’s about 35% smaller
- New colors, and a unified look on the back
Today, two noteworthy Weibo leakers have offered fresh input on what’s coming.
A new post from Ice Universe provides clarity on how much thicker the device is getting.
He says that iPhone 18 Pro Max will be 8.8mm thick.
For context, iPhone 17 Pro Max is 8.75mm thick, and iPhone 16 Pro Max is 8.25mm. So the increase this year is much smaller than it was with the iPhone 17.
Separately, Digital Chat Station posted that Apple is considering reusing some of the molds from iPhone 17 Pro for the iPhone 18 Pro line.
He says if this happens, it means Face ID components that were expected to move under the display may remain unchanged. As a result, the Dynamic Island might not be downsized as significantly as expected.
Digital Chat Station also highlights three upgrades that he believes are confirmed. He says the A20 Pro chip with 2nm process, a larger battery with over 5000mAh capacity, and camera aperture changes will be strong selling points for the device.
