The iPhone 18 Pro series may become thicker and heavier than the previous model, with speculation also rising that a black-toned option could be excluded. Reports offer conflicting estimates on thickness, ranging from about 9 mm to about 10.75 mm depending on whether the body or camera bump changes. Leaked figures also suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max could weigh about 240 grams. Color expectations have narrowed to three options in some forecasts.

Rumours are spreading that Apple’s next high-end model, widely referred to as the iPhone Ultra, could face a prolonged launch delay. An IT tipster, Fixed Focus Digital, disputed reports that the launch would slip significantly. Market views have diverged on whether it will be unveiled alongside the iPhone 18 Pro or on a separate timetable. Reports have ranged from a December launch to a delay into early 2027.
