iPhone 18 Pro Rumored to Drop Two-Tone Back for Cleaner Single-Color Finish

A Weibo tipster says Apple is refining the rear glass process to better match the aluminum frame.

Overview

  • Multiple reports cite Instant Digital claiming Apple updated the rear glass fitting and coloring to reduce contrast with the frame.
  • Coverage frames the change as an incremental aesthetic tweak rather than a full redesign, with Apple yet to confirm any details.
  • Reports suggest the glass area for MagSafe and wireless charging would remain, with better color matching to unify the look.
  • A prior leak from Digital Chat Station mentioned a slightly transparent Ceramic Shield, which some outlets note as a related design rumor.
  • The Pro models are expected around September 2026, with separate rumors pointing to an A20 Pro on TSMC’s 2nm process, variable aperture camera upgrades, and more RAM.
