Fresh leaks surrounding Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series have revealed colour options. We also have another set of dummy model images doing rounds online. And that’s not all from the iPhone rumour mills. Reports have also shed light on details about the thickness of the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
While the authenticity of the leaked materials remains unverified, the latest information offers an early glimpse at what Apple may have planned for its next gen iPhones. Here’s more on these latest leaks.
Alleged iPhone 18 Pro Chassis Images Show Colours
Images recently shared by the account “yeux1122” on the Korean-language Naver blog appear to show chassis components allegedly belonging to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The leaked frames suggest that Apple could introduce three of the four rumoured colour options for the upcoming Pro models.
According to previous reports, Apple has been testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. The shade is expected to serve as the signature colour for the 2026 Pro models similar to the Cosmic Orange finish reportedly planned for the iPhone 17 Pro series.

The leaked images appear to support those claims and showcase a rich red colour that is being referred to as “Dark Cherry.”
In addition to Dark Cherry, Apple is said to be preparing Light Blue and Dark Gray finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro range. Reports also suggest that a Silver option will be available although that particular colour does not appear in the leaked chassis images.
Meanwhile, an older Macworld reportedly shared Pantone colour codes believed to represent the four shades Apple is testing for the new lineup.
However, not everyone is convinced by the leak. Some reports have claimed that the images may have been manipulated using artificial intelligence and may not depict genuine iPhone 18 Pro chassis components.

Separately, an image of leaked dummy units of the iPhone 18 Pro have also surfaced online.
The models showcase the same four colour options including the vibrant Dark Cherry and Light Blue variants alongside more traditional Black and Silver finishes. The similarities between the alleged rear-panel components and the dummy units have fueled speculation that Apple could adopt more saturated and eye-catching colour choices for its upcoming flagship smartphones.
iPhone 18 Pro Max Thickness (Rumours)
Meanwhile, new information regarding the iPhone 18 Pro Max suggests that Apple may not make any significant changes to the thickness. According to Weibo-based tipster Ice Universe, the handset will measure 8.75mm thick matching the dimensions of its predecessor.

The leaker further claimed that Apple’s limited design changes for the Pro lineup this year may be due to the company’s focus on developing the first foldable iPhone, refer to as the “iPhone Ultra.”
This latest claim about iPhone thickness, however, differs from an earlier statement made by the same tipster in March. The tipster had suggested that the iPhone 18 Pro Max would be slightly thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That earlier report aligned with previous claims indicating that hardware upgrades could make the device the heaviest iPhone ever released.
Other tipsters have claimed last year that the iPhone 18 Pro Max would weigh more than its predecessor and could be pushing its weight beyond 240 grams. If accurate, it would become the heaviest iPhone since the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Battery capacity is also expected to increase. Reports suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature a battery with a capacity between 5,100mAh and 5,200mAh, an upgrade over the 5,088mAh battery reportedly used in the eSIM version of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple is widely expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this September. The devices could launch alongside the company’s first foldable iPhone, which is rumoured to arrive with a separate set of colour options including silver, white, and indigo finishes.
