Recent leaks suggest that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be thicker than their predecessors. Initially, dummy units indicated a thickness increase, but a reliable source later stated they would match the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max at 8.75mm. However, conflicting reports have emerged, with another tipster claiming that the iPhone 18 Pro could be approximately 2mm thicker than the previous model.
The updated source has reiterated this claim, estimating an increased thickness of around 2mm, which would bring the iPhone 18 Pro to over 1cm in thickness. While this measurement is not unrealistic, it may pose challenges for Apple's marketing and design aesthetics.
iPhone 17 ProA notable feature expected in the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max is a variable aperture main camera, which will contribute to the overall thickness. Additionally, both models are anticipated to come equipped with larger batteries than their predecessors, necessitating more internal space. Thus, while the prospect of increased thickness seems plausible, the accuracy of the 2mm estimate remains to be confirmed. Only time will reveal the final dimensions of these upcoming devices.
