Leaked Images of iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, and Foldable iPhone
Leaker Sonny Dickson shared images of dummy models for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone. These dummies are used by accessory manufacturers to develop cases and other peripherals before the devices are officially announced, so they aim for a high degree of visual accuracy.
Design Confirmation
The photos line up with several long‑standing rumors:
- Dynamic Island is visible on all three dummies.
- The foldable iPhone showcases a completely new, passport‑style form factor that differs from any previous iPhone design.
Foldable iPhone Details
The foldable concept is based on a mockup originally posted by MacRumors forum user iZac, who incorporated rumors circulating in May. While many elements appear accurate, there are notable differences:
| Feature | Rumored / Mockup | Observed on Dummy |
|---|---|---|
| Camera layout | Horizontal dual‑camera array | Confirmed |
| Volume buttons | Positioned on the top edge | Confirmed |
| Unibody construction | Expected for iPhone 18 Pro series | Not present on the foldable; no glass‑insert window for wireless charging |
| Rear material | Likely glass (similar to iPhone Air) | Entire rear appears to be glass |
| Camera plateau width | Extends full width of the back (iPhone Air) | Stops at roughly three‑quarters of the back width |
| Touch ID | Speculated | Present on the foldable dummy |
| Starting price | Around $2,000 | Indicated in the leaks |
Launch Outlook
- iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the first foldable iPhone are expected to launch in the fall.
- Recent rumors suggest the foldable model could be delayed beyond the typical September/October timeframe.
