  "account": "Leaker DuanRui has shared visual evidence of iPhone 18 Pro cases that hint at potential new color options for Apple's official accessories. The cases, which are not genuine, were designed using the same model numbers as existing iPhone 17 Pro cases. Despite being fake, they are likely based on the real cases Apple will release with the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. These accessories often appear in China before Apple's official unveiling.\n\nOne of the shared clips features a clear case with a light blue tint, which aligns with rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro may come in a Light Blue finish. Apple currently offers the iPhone 17 Pro's clear case in only four colors: opaque and a square that conceals the MagSafe magnets. The light blue tint on this fake case could complement the rumored Light Blue iPhone 18 Pro.\n\nThe TechWoven cases shown in the images exhibit a much broader range of colors, including black, cherry red, brown, green, blue, and taupe. Apple's existing iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven cases only come in five colors: blue, purple, black, sienna, and green. The cherry red option in particular is noteworthy, as it would match the rumored \"Dark Cherry\" finish for the iPhone 18 Pro models. Both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are set to launch alongside the foldable iPhone Ultra in September.",
