9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to be thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max, primarily due to an increased depth around the camera plateau and lenses.
- Dummy unit measurements show the iPhone 18 Pro Max camera thickness at 13.77mm compared to 12.92mm on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, with the plateau thickness increasing from 11.23mm to 11.54mm.
- The overall body thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max remains officially listed at 8.75mm without the camera system, indicating the added thickness is mainly from camera upgrades.
- The thicker design is attributed to an enhanced camera system expected on the iPhone 18 Pro line launching this fall, though the change in depth may be subtle to users.
- Additionally, comparisons of rumored iPhone Ultra foldable dummy units to the iPad mini have been made, with a hands-on video from Max Tech anticipated soon.
