iPhone 18 Pro Max metal dummy photos hint at a thicker camera bump, smaller Dynamic Island, and Apple's C2 modem

Fresh metal dummy photos shared by source @VadimYuryev on X offer an early look at the rumored iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro, with both models shown alongside the current iPhone 17 Pro Max for size and design comparison.

The images suggest that the iPhone 18 Pro Max could arrive with a noticeably thicker rear camera module than its predecessor. Dummy units obviously don’t confirm final hardware, but they do give a more tangible sense of the physical changes being discussed around Apple’s next Pro lineup.

According to the leak summary, Apple is still expected to launch the series in September 2026. The same report says the phones may use a smaller Dynamic Island, support under-display Face ID, and switch to an in-house Apple C2 modem instead of a Qualcomm solution.

At this stage, the photos should still be treated as pre-release reference material rather than proof of final retail hardware. Even so, the metal mockups add another piece to the growing picture of what Apple’s next flagship phones might look like.
