iPhone 18 Pro to be thicker than its predecessor

Whendummy units leakedin April, it was clear that theiPhone 18 ProandiPhone 18 Pro Maxwould be thicker than their predecessors. But then in June a decently reliable tipster claimed that in fact they'd be theexact same 8.75mm thicknessas theiPhone 17 ProandiPhone 17 Pro Max. Except a few days later another source said that the iPhone 18 Pro would bearound 2mm thickerthan its predecessor. Now the same source is back with basically the same claim, saying that we should expect an increase in thickness of around 2mm. That would take the iPhone 18 Pro over 1cm, which of course isn't impossible, but we're not sure Apple would like how that looks on spec sheets.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max arerumored to get a variable aperture main camera, which will inevitably add some thickness, and they will alsoboth have bigger batteriesthan the models from last year, and those need more space too. So it stands to reason that we might see some thicker Pros this time around - we're just not sure how accurate the 2mm figure really is. Time will tell, for sure. Source(in Chinese)
