iPhone 18 Pro Max Reportedly Holds at 8.75mm, Defying Heavier-Thicker Leak

Summary

  • Ice Universe said the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be 8.75mm thick, matching the iPhone 17 Pro Max instead of getting thicker again.
  • That contradicts a November claim from leaker Instant Digital, who said the next Pro Max would be thicker and weigh more than 240g, potentially making it Apple's heaviest iPhone.
  • Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max had already become thicker and heavier than the prior generation, making the new 8.75mm figure a break from that expected trend.
  • Battery remains the key open question: earlier reports suggested the 18 Pro Max could gain a more meaningful capacity increase, while the smaller Pro may see only a modest bump.
