2026 Phone Case Packaging Lists Both iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro
A phone accessory manufacturer has produced new packaging that lists both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro in the compatibility section. Best Buy stores in the United States have already begun selling these phone cases. The chief executive of another Apple accessory maker confirmed hearing the same information from supply chain channels, and revealed that cases for the iPhone 17 Pro Max also match the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
This development contradicts earlier rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro series would be thicker than its predecessor. The uncertainty will be resolved once the new phones are officially launched.
