iPhone 18 Pro Details Leaked by Verizon's AI Assistant
Developing
In Short: MacRumors reports screenshots showing Verizon's AI chatbot detailing iPhone 18 Pro specifications, pricing, and colors, days before Apple's official announcement.
According to MacRumors, screenshots purportedly showing Verizon's AI chatbot answering detailed questions about the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max were shared with the outlet by an anonymous user named 'mehrtosh.
The chatbot provided pricing that matches the iPhone 17 Pro's current starting prices, despite analysts predicting price increases for this generation.
What's still developing
- According to the screenshots, the assistant made the following interesting claims about the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: Several of these claims sit awkwardly next to what's already been reported.
- A series of screenshots shared with MacRumors today seemingly show Verizon's AI chat assistant answering detailed questions about the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, just hours before Apple's announcement event.
- Recent leaks have pointed to Dark Cherry alongside Silver and Sky Blue, not the "Titanium Gray," "Titanium White," and "Titanium Black" names the assistant listed, which more closely resemble the finish names Apple used for the iPhone 15 Pro lineup back in 2023.
- The assistant also made a series of more plausible claims: We have been unable to independently verify or replicate the exchange, suggesting the chatbot may have since been patched, or that the original screenshots were altered or otherwise inaccurate.
