iPhone 18 Pro leaks: drop videos, model range, A20 Pro plate and colors — unconfirmed by Apple

A wave of unconfirmed leaks about the future iPhone 18 Pro and the 2026 range has once again focused on the account of Between the end of June and April 2026, the leaker has published videos of supposed drop tests, a poster with various models, images of motherboard, camera modules, Pro colors and screen protectors that, according to him, would anticipate the design of the next iPhone cycle.

Apple has not confirmed any of this material or acknowledged its authenticity. MARGENEZ compiles and contextualizes what is published on networks for information purposes, always citing the original source. iPhone is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.

The two videos of the supposed drop test

On June 29, 2026, @TechKard posted a thread with two videos showing an unidentified terminal on what appears to be a stress testbed. The text of the post attributes the material to a “recent data breach” at Tata Electronics, a supplier associated with Apple's assembly line in India, and quotes Evan Blass (@evleaks).

The clip shows the device subjected to repeated impacts. There is no official metadata that links the terminal to a specific iPhone 18 Pro: the name comes from the leaker's story, not from Apple.

Poster with iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e

A day before, another post by @TechKard spread a poster-type image with three silhouettes and these specifications attributed to Digital Chat Station (DCS):

• iPhone Air 2 — 6.55″ screen at 120 Hz.
• iPhone 18 — 6.3″ at 120 Hz.
• iPhone 18e — 6.12″ at 60 Hz.

All three would have, according to the rumor, OLED «1.5K» panels. The same thread mentions that an iPhone 19 Pro and a second folding iPhone ("Ultra 2") would already be in the internal testing phase — without a date or public test.

A20 Pro motherboard and chip (hardware leak)

On June 28, @TechKard shared photos of what it describes as the logic board of an iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max. According to the text of the post:

• The A20 Pro would use WMCM packaging with the DRAM moved to the side of the chip to improve dissipation.
• LPDDR6 96-bit bus memory.
• Similar chip size to A19 Pro, but with reinforced NPU.

Pro Camera and Colors Module

In April 2026, @TechKard published an image of a camera module that, according to the post, would reveal color options of the iPhone 18 Pro. Attributes the photo to @UniverseIce.

Days before, a longer thread collected information from Macworld on finishes for iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max:

• Light Blue (Pantone 2121), similar to Mist Blue on the iPhone 17.
• Dark Cherry (Pantone 6076) — rumored signature color, replacement for “cosmic orange.”
• Dark Gray (Pantone 426C).
• Silver (Pantone 427C), close to the current generation.

Macworld indicated that the four colors were still in development and that Apple could change them before mass production — the iPhone 18 Pro would not have entered mass production yet according to that story.

Camera with variable aperture and narrower Dynamic Island

In the same spring leak ecosystem, @TechKard noted that the iPhone 18 Pro's variable aperture camera would have officially entered production: LG Innotek would manufacture modules between June and July, and Sunny Optical would have started actuator testing, according to the post — supply chain information not confirmed by Apple.

In March 2026, another post by the same author showed leaked screen protectors that he claimed would confirm a narrower Dynamic Island in the next generation Pro.

What can and cannot be concluded

The leaks converge into a narrative: iPhone 18 Pro with better on-chip cooling, variable camera, reduced Dynamic Island and new Pro palette; wide range with Air 2 and 18e; and more aggressive resistance tests. But no point is endorsed by Apple. Historically, leaked prototypes, discarded colors and wrong specifications are common in every iPhone cycle.

In summary

Did Apple confirm anything? No. What is circulating? Drop videos, model poster, A20 Pro board, camera, colors and protectors published mainly by @TechKard. Is it reliable? It depends on each filter and the material; MARGENEZ does not certify authenticity. When will we know more? Only when Apple calls its official event — the date leaks point to September, without guarantee.
