Unlike all the companies\u2019 previous models, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max clear cases featured a large white rectangle on the back, covering the entire lower 2\/3rds of the phone. In fact, it covers most of the actual colored part of your shiny new Cosmic Orange phone.<\/p>\n<p>Previous clear cases, as well as the regular iPhone 17 clear case, have a simple design with a semi-circle for the MagSafe puck and a line where the MagSafe magnets should line up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Chinese social media sites are circulating images of what are claimed to be Apple\u2019s official clear cases for the upcoming iPhone 18 line. You can see the Pro and Pro Max cases are once again similar to the standard iPhone case, with a semicircle and line covering the MagSafe magnets, while the rest of the case remains clear.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, we don\u2019t know what Apple was thinking, making a clear case where most of the part you really care about being clear is covered by a big white rectangle, but it\u2019s good to see that the cases may be returning to normal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3147174\/the-iphone-18-pro-clear-case-may-lose-its-big-ugly-white-rectangle.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone 18 Pro clear case may lose its big, ugly white rectangle https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3147174\/the-iphone-18-pro-clear-case-may-lose-its-big-ugly-white-rectangle.html Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":252740,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/iphone-17-pro-clear-case.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80,81],"class_list":["post-252739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17","tag-iphone-18"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252739"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252739"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252741,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252739\/revisions\/252741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
