iPhone 18 Pro Likely 2mm Thicker to Accommodate New Camera System

A leaker claims the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be roughly 2mm thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro due to a redesigned main camera system and continued aluminum alloy frame, with overall thickness around 9.9–10.9mm (vs. 8.75mm for the 17 Pro/Pro Max). The bulk is tied to a new camera module and variable aperture, with production ramping at LG Innotek and Sunny Optical, and launch expected alongside Apple's foldable iPhone this September.

iPhone 18 Pro to reuse aluminum body, mirroring 17 Pro’s heat benefits and wear patterns

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to continue using the same aluminum alloy as the 17 Pro, delivering strong heat dissipation and durability, but color scratches and surface wear are still anticipated. Apple previously noted that marks on iPhone 17 Pro demos were caused by worn MagSafe stands and are removable with cleaning, and the 18 Pro is expected to come in four colors while preserving similar pros and cons as its predecessor.
