As we wait for the event to happen, an intriguing new prospect has emerged.<\/p>\n<p>The cases made for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17_pro-14049.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 17 Pro<\/a> may very well fit the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro. One case maker has already created packaging that lists both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro as compatible with a specific case, as you can see in the image below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787196009_175_gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro cases may fit the iPhone 18 Pro\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markgurman\/status\/2089904460105711895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">surfaced by Mark Gurman on X<\/a>, and he notes that Best Buy is already selling these in its stores in the US. Then, the CEO of a different Apple accessory maker <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mronge\/status\/2089907301234716802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">confirmed this<\/a>, saying it&#8217;s what he&#8217;s hearing from its suppliers too. Interestingly, he then replied to a question about the Pro Max saying that <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mronge\/status\/2090067357762814322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">it will be the same situation<\/a> for that device too, with cases for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/apple_iphone_17_pro_max-13964.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a> fitting it.<\/p>\n<p>This conflicts with multiple previous rumors that claimed both the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone 18 Pro Max would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/iphone_18_pro_to_be_thicker_than_its_predecessor-news-73619.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">thicker<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/iphone_18_pro_maxs_weight_and_thickness_leak_and_its_chunky-news-73656.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">than their predecessors<\/a>. So either those rumors were wrong, or what we&#8217;re hearing today is wishful thinking. Thankfully, we only have a few weeks to wait to find out for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 17 Pro<\/p>\n<p>Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in the first part&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":574439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-574438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=574438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/574438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/574439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=574438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=574438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=574438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
