Hints of an unchanged design for the iPhone 18 Pro

Recently, Mark Gurman, an Apple product specialist, published an image on X that shows the packaging of an Otterbox cover, a brand renowned for highly durable accessories. The packaging clearly indicates compatibility with the iPhone 17 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro. Gurman located the accessory in a Best Buy store, a large electronics retailer in the United States. This fact suggests that accessory manufacturers are working on the premise that the iPhone 18 Pro will have an almost identical design to the iPhone 17 Pro. It is worth noting that, although Otterbox’s official website may still list compatibility only with the iPhone 17 Pro, the advance preparation of packaging indicating both models is a strong indication of uniformity, according to information from Notebook Check.

Current iPhone 17 Pro specs include a 6.3-inch display, a triple rear camera system, and dimensions of 150 x 71.9 x 8.75 millimeters. If compatibility is confirmed, users who plan to migrate from the iPhone 17 Pro to the iPhone 18 Pro will be able to reuse their existing cases, representing significant savings on an item that usually has a high price when new devices are launched.
