iPhone 18 Pro is coming this fall, and rumors indicate it will further a design trend started last year with iPhone 17 Pro: making the iPhone even thicker. Here’s why I’m actually behind this decision despite previously opposing it.

iPhone 18 Pro rumored to get thicker and heavier, and I’m all-in on the change for two reasons

Last year, when rumors first arrived about iPhone 17 Pro being thicker than its predecessor, I wasn’t sold on the idea.

I was using an iPhone 16 Pro at the time, and felt like the iPhone was thick and heavy enough already. Hence, my high interest in the ultra-thin iPhone Air.

But I’ll admit that my skepticism was unmerited. Apple knew what it was doing.
