iPhone 18 Pro
An aluminium unibody with a Ceramic Shield back replaces the 17 Pro's construction, and the plateau is recut around the variable-aperture main camera, so 17 Pro cases do not carry over — not even the ones sold as “17/18 Pro”. The Pro Max is a separate body again: buy the size on the box.
