Leaked images of third-party clear cases for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max suggest the upcoming models will retain a design similar to the iPhone 17 Pro. The cases show a large camera island cutout, indicating the external footprint may remain consistent with the current generation.
Leaked cases show consistent footprint
According to rumors, the iPhone 18 Pro series will feature an A20 Pro chip built on TSMC's 2nm process, delivering a 15% performance boost. The main camera is expected to debut a variable aperture design with a larger 1/1.12-inch sensor. A refined, smaller Dynamic Island is also rumored, along with a new Dark Cherry color option replacing Cosmic Orange. The devices are expected to run iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence and the new Siri.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to launch globally in September 2026.
The leaked cases may not be compatible with iPhone 17 Pro models due to a potentially thicker camera bump, according to the source. The larger sensor and variable aperture could increase the camera module's thickness, making existing cases unsuitable. The information comes from leaker MajinBu, and Apple has not confirmed the design or specifications.
