iPhone 18 Pro Could Be Noticeably Thicker Than iPhone 17 Pro
iPhone 18 Pro rumored to be 2mm thicker due to variable aperture and larger camera sensor
The article discusses rumors from Chinese Weibo leakers suggesting the iPhone 18 Pro will be approximately 2 millimeters thicker than its predecessor. The increased thickness is attributed to the inclusion of a variable aperture and a larger camera sensor. The piece contextualizes this within Apple's broader product strategy, noting that the introduction of the iPhone Air (a thinner model) may allow the Pro line to prioritize functionality and camera performance over slimness.
Key quotes
With the introduction of the iPhone Air, some industry observers saw a paradigm shift at Apple: According to their interpretation, the Pro models were allowed to grow again and become more functional.
Those who place particular value on materials like titanium or a thin form factor should be offered a continuation of the previous guidelines with the iPhone Air.
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is said to be noticeably thicker — roughly 2 millimeters thicker — due to a variable aperture and a larger camera sensor.
