Weibo leaker says iPhone 18 Pro thickness will be ‘surprising’

A well-known Weibo leaker, "Fixed Focus Digital," has reaffirmed that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro will be thicker than its predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro, following a leak of materials from Apple's supplier Tata. This news comes as a surprise to many, given that recent trends in smartphone design have leaned towards thinner devices. This thickness increase might indicate a shift in Apple's design philosophy or the incorporation of new features that necessitate a larger battery or improved internal components. This development is significant as it could impact consumer expectations and preferences regarding future iPhone models.
