Multiple reports citing Weibo-based leakers say Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the same thickness as the iPhone 17 Pro Max. One source, Ice Universe, reportedly claims the device measures 8.75mm, matching the prior model rather than continuing a perceived pattern of incremental thickness increases for the Pro line. That update contrasts with earlier claims from the same leaker that the iPhone 18 Pro Max would be slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Other earlier leaks also pointed toward potential weight increases for the device, including claims it could be over 240 grams, but those do not necessarily conflict with a same-thickness design if internal components change. In addition, related reporting suggests the iPhone 18 Pro Max may keep the same 6.9-inch display size and could include hardware changes such as a larger battery, with capacity estimates ranging roughly from 5,100 to 5,200 mAh. Sources also discuss possible updates across the lineup, including modem and camera-related changes, while noting Apple’s foldable “iPhone Ultra” as a potential development focus.
