The new iPhone 18 Pro could be thicker: is it due to the camera and battery?

The new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will arrive in September. In about two months, Apple will present its new top-of-the-line models, which will debut alongside the foldable iPhone Ultra. A new leak confirms a possible increase in the thickness of Apple's new smartphones.

More than 1 cm thick?
According to the new leak, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could be approximately 2 mm thicker than their predecessors (17 Pro and 17 Pro Max), which have a thickness of 8.8 mm. Consequently, Apple's smartphones could exceed 1 cm in thickness.

This change in dimensions could be related to the new rear camera with variable aperture, which will require a modification of the photographic compartment. Furthermore, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to have a larger battery compared to the 17 Pro Max. The combination of these elements could result in an increase in thickness.

As always, summer is a time rich in rumors and speculations about the new iPhones in anticipation of the presentation scheduled for the first half of September. For now, the news regarding the dimensions of the new smartphones has not yet been confirmed, but it is certainly something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks, when further confirmations may arrive.

The next few months will be rich in novelties for Apple, with many new projects and a significant update to their smartphone range, which will also see the debut of the first foldable model, the iPhone Ultra.
