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.

T-Mobile Lets You Grab the iPhone 17 for Free With Trade-In or Switch

iPhone 17 Pro Tops Fast-Charging Showdown; Galaxy S26 Ultra Leads Wired Speed

CNET tested 33 phones and found the iPhone 17 Pro is the fastest overall charger thanks to its balanced wired (40W) and wireless (Qi2.2) speeds, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra delivers the fastest wired charging at 60W. The iPhone 17 Pro also led wireless charging in their tests (55% in 30 minutes) aided by magnets. Silicon-carbon batteries (e.g., OnePlus 15) can reach very high speeds but are not widely available in the US. Apple shows the most consistent fast charging across its lineup; overall speed depends on charger compatibility and battery size, not just the phone’s max spec.

Deep-Discharge Charging Glitch Hits iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air

Some iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air owners report a charging issue where after the battery fully drains, plugging in a USB-C charger fails to wake the device or show a charging indicator. Reports are surfacing on Reddit and iFixit, but the root cause and scope remain unclear. Apple has not publicly commented, and the problem persists into iOS 26.4.1/26.4.2 for some users. A MagSafe workaround revived one device, suggesting it may be hit-or-miss rather than universal.

Apple's Ultra-Thin iPhone Air Gains Ground, Dethrones Pro in Speedtest Hype vs Galaxy S25 Edge

Ookla Speedtest data suggest Apple's iPhone Air is more popular in user-initiated tests than the iPhone 17 Pro and outsamples Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge by roughly 3-to-1 in the US, with even larger margins in Europe. The data are speedtest samples, not official sales, but they imply the Air is a stronger “slim flagship” contender and could push Apple to a second-gen Air and rethink the Plus model strategy for future iPhone lineups. Samsung’s S25 Edge remains comparatively niche in many markets.
