Images and video leaked by DuanRui offer a preview of new clear and TechWoven case color options for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Although these cases are counterfeit—still bearing the iPhone 17 Pro model numbers—their designs likely replicate Apple’s official accessories set to launch this fall.

Clear Case: Light Blue Tint and MagSafe Design
The leaked clear case features a delicate light blue tint, complementing rumors that Apple will offer a Light Blue finish on the iPhone 18 Pro. It retains an opaque square over the MagSafe magnet area, a design element introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro’s clear case following the Apple logo’s repositioning. This square has drawn criticism in the past—especially in colors like Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue—for its visual prominence.

TechWoven Options: Broader Palette, Cherry Red Match
The TechWoven case leak shows a broader spectrum of color offerings than current models. While today’s iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven cases come in blue, purple, black, sienna, and green, the leaks reveal six additional shades for the iPhone 18 Pro: black, cherry red, brown, green, blue, and taupe.

Notably, the cherry red variant may sync up with rumors of a “Dark Cherry” finish for the iPhone 18 Pro. If confirmed, it would mark a richer, more vibrant tone in Apple’s lineup, hinting at bolder design choices this year.

Fake Cases, Real Hints
Each year ahead of new iPhone drops, unauthorized accessories showing up in China leak based on CAD files or early design specs. Although the cases in question are marked with model info for the iPhone 17 Pro, the accessories shown often closely replicate Apple’s final versions. ([macrumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/20/new-clear-and-techwoven-cases-for-iphone-18-pro/))
The expected release timeline remains September, when Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable phone, tentatively called the “iPhone Ultra.” These accessories would presumably be available around the same time.

Analytically, these leaks emphasize how accessory trends give us early clues about Apple’s plans. The light blue clear case aligns with the alleged Light Blue finish for the 18 Pro, while the cherry red in TechWoven could signal a new signature hue—possibly making “Dark Cherry” a real selling point. If these designs survive Apple’s final tweaks, they may reshape expectations for both Pro-level style and MagSafe functionality this fall.
