Overview
- YouTuber Vadim Yuryev shared metal dummy units on April 22 that show the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone Ultra based on case-maker CAD data.
- Measurements from the iPhone 18 Pro Max dummy point to a thicker camera area, with 11.54 mm including the camera plateau and 13.77 mm at the lens peaks, up from the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
- The foldable model appears passport‑like with a roughly 5.3 to 5.5 inch cover screen that opens to about 7.8 inches inside in a near 4:3 shape, which could better fit video and games than tall, narrow folds.
- Dummy hardware cues show a Touch ID power button, a Camera Control button, and top‑edge volume keys, while reports note no MagSafe ring is visible and Face ID may be absent due to space limits.
- An unofficial schematic from Ice Universe pegs folded thickness near 9.23 mm and about 13 mm at the camera bump and suggests black and silver options, with multiple outlets still expecting a September 2026 unveiling.
