Days after materials from Apple supplier Tata surfaced online, prominent Weibo leaker “Fixed Focus Digital” doubled down on his earlier claim that the iPhone 18 Pro will be thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro. Here are the details.
iPhone 18 Pro said to be 2mm thicker
Last month, Apple supplier Tata confirmed a data breach after a ransomware group posted more than 200,000 purportedly stolen files on the dark web.
The files reportedly included internal documents, component details, supplier lists, and videos of iPhone 18 Pro models undergoing drop tests. Separately circulated footage purported to show one of those tests, offering a possible look at the device’s design.
As users quickly pointed out, the iPhone in the video appeared thicker than the current iPhone 17 Pro Max, particularly around the camera plateau, possibly due to a redesigned lens system rumored to bring variable aperture to the main camera.
