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.

Late last year a leaker suggested that the trend of the Pro model iPhones getting thicker would continue with the iPhone 18 Pro Max. However, a new report today gives the thickness as 8.75mm, which is exactly the same as the iPhone 17 Pro Max … more…
2 months agoApple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will be the same thickness as its predecessor, measuring in at 8.75mm. The latest information comes from Weibo-based leaker Ice Universe. The leaker suggested that the lack of evolution in Apple's Pro lineup this year is because most of the company's development focus has been on the "iPhone Ultra," its rumored foldable model. The latest claim comes as somewhat of a surprise, given that the same leaker in March said the device would be slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That chimed with a report last year alleging hardware changes in the iPhone 18 Pro Max will make it the heaviest iPhone yet. Last November, fellow Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital said the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be slightly heavier than its predecessor, tipping its weight over 240 grams and making it the heaviest iPhone since the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Of course, if the new model does turn out to have the same thickness, this doesn't necessarily mean its weight won't change either. The device's heaviness could still be impacted by internal hardware changes. Digital Chat Station – another Weibo-based leaker – has claimed the iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a bigger battery, with a capacity in the range of 5,100 to 5,200 mAh (up from 5,088 mAh in the eSim version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max). If so, Apple may have reconfigured the internal design or miniaturized aspects of it in order to accommodate the larger battery without altering the device's thickness. Apple isn't expected to change the screen size of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and it will feature the same 6.9-inch display as the current model. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max may feature a possibly smaller Dynamic Island, along with a next-generation C2 modem, a simplified Camera Control, and an upgraded main camera with a variable aperture. The devices are expected to be unveiled around mid-September alongside the foldable iPhone.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProTag: Ice UniverseThis article, "iPhone 18 Pro Max Device Thickness Allegedly Revealed" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
