According to new rumors published by Chinese sources, Apple plans to iroduce a subtle but importa change in the design of the back panel in the next generation of its flagships, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This change, which leads to the removal of the curre Durang look, is aimed at achieving a more unified and minimal aesthetic. In the curre iPhone 17 Pro models, Apple has used a glass cutout on the back panel to enable MagSafe wireless charging. This cut, which is made of “Ceramic Shield 2” material, due to the difference in material and production process, has a noticeable color difference with the aluminum frame of the device and has given it a second-hand look.
Now, a leaker known on the Weibo platform as “Insta Digital” claims that Apple has updated the “back glass replaceme process” for next year’s models. This technical improveme allows the company to minimize the color difference between the glass and the metal frame, ultimately providing a completely uniform and iegrated look. This claim can be related to another rumor that was published earlier by the reliable source “Digital Chat Station”. He said in September that the glass ceramic bumper on the new generation will have a “slightly transpare design,” which may help with color consistency. Although Insta Digital’s leak record isn’t perfect, he has previously revealed the correct information such as the yellow color of the iPhone 14 and the titanium strap of the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
In addition to these changes in appearance, reports indicate that the iPhone 18 Pro will be equipped with a powerful A20 Pro chip, which will be manufactured with TSMC’s advanced 2nm process. Also, Apple plans to use its own modem called C2 in this generation and end cooperation with Qualcomm. It is expected that these products will undoubtedly win the title The best Apple phone will compete, in September 2026 and will probably be officially unveiled alongside the company’s first foldable iPhone.
