The leaker known as “DuanRui” today shared videos and images of cases designed for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, potentially offering a first look at some of the new color options for official Apple accessories.
The cases themselves are fake, carrying the same model number used for existing iPhone 17 Pro accessories, but they could still be based on the genuine cases that Apple is expected to release alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max next month.
Before every major announcement of a new iPhone, dupe accessories like these tend to circulate in China well before Apple’s official unveiling. Case makers frequently work from leaked dimensions and CAD files to have their molds ready in time for launch day, and while some manufacturers take creative liberties and expand their lines beyond what Apple ends up shipping, such as continuing to offer leather cases, knockoffs can still offer an early indication of some of the authentic accessories to come.
One clip shows a clear Apple-style case tinted light blue. It retains the opaque square in the center of the case that hides the MagSafe magnets, a design first introduced last year on the transparent case of the iPhone 17 Pro due to the relocation of the Apple logo on the device. It has been criticized by some for its appearance, notably with Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue. The light blue hue is notable considering the iPhone 18 Pro would have a light blue finish, which this case would complement.
The TechWoven cases shown in the images appear in a wider range of colors than Apple currently offers, including black, cherry red, brown, green, blue, and taupe. Apple’s existing TechWoven iPhone 17 Pro cases come in just five colors: blue, purple, black, sienna, and green.
The Cherry Red option particularly stands out, as it would match the eye-catching “Dark Cherry” “flagship” finish widely rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro models.
The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to launch alongside the first foldable iPhone, dubbed “iPhone Ultra,” in September.
