Summary
A new leak says Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro will add more than 2mm to the rear aluminum back panel, pointing to a noticeably thicker main camera area.
Fixed Focus Digital attributed the change to an enlarged main camera module, suggesting bigger internal components rather than a minor exterior redesign.
The leak adds detail to earlier hints from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who said the iPhone 18 Pro would bring some of the biggest camera hardware upgrades in the lineup’s history.
Variable aperture remains one of the few widely rumored features, but the larger module suggests Apple’s main camera could be the standout hardware change in the 2026 Pro models.
