iPhone 17 Pro Max has a unibody rear case. Note the design of the plateau here.
The latest “leak” from someone impersonating a now-defunct leaker appears to be nothing more than painted lens covers, especially considering the modern iPhone design has a unibody case.
Majin Bu was once a prominent Apple leaker who had some accurate leaks. After attempting to sell cases for an unreleased iPhone, the leaker disappeared, and a copycat has risen in its stead.
It still isn’t clear to me why anyone is covering the clearly fake account, but 9to5Macshared the latest post about iPhone colors. The publication did call out the potential of the account being fake, but it did serve the post as possible thanks to corroborating previous color rumors.
However, something seemed wrong about this photo. I wanted to ignore the clearly fake account, but then it hit me.
The iPhone 17 Pro design uses a unibody back case with a cutout for MagSafe that’s covered by glass. The camera plateau isn’t a separate component.
A two-second reverse image search revealed my suspicion — these appear to be identical to camera protectors that stick onto the existing camera plateau. Wherever the image originated from, likely Weibo, the fake leaker posted it as an iPhone 18 Pro color leak.
This image is being passed as an iPhone component leak by a fake account we’re deliberately not linking to here.
Looking back, AppleInsider also pointed out the potential of leaked components being third-party accessories. Perhaps these are color samples, but they seem absurdly detailed versus making a simple blank.
Ignore the fakes
AppleInsider has the rumor rating system for this explicit purpose. We’d love to not have to cover such blatantly fake impersonation accounts, but when the rest of the industry runs to cover even the most ambiguous of rumors, we have to tag along for the ride.
At the least, we do get the chance to call “bs” when we see it.
The fake account has posted stolen content from other leakers, usually ones originating from Weibo. While the original Majin Bu had similar problems, this one is much more blatant in their actions.
Accessories like this from Uyiton on Amazon exist, though we’ve colored it deep wine for illustration
They have posted clearly manipulated or even AI-generated images of fake products, like an iPhone Air with two camera lenses. I don’t know why publications feel like they should ignore those while still giving air to what could be considered “more reasonable” leaks.
The iPhone 18 Pro will likely have new colors, and one of the rumored colors is a deep wine red. We’ll see if that turns out to be true, but one thing we do know today is that we shouldn’t be paying attention to fake accounts.

The Trial of the Chicago 7
A courtroom drama based on real events
The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a perfect combination of courtroom drama meets political thriller. Based on real events, it follows the infamous 1969 trial of seven defendants charged by the federal government with conspiracy and crossing state lines with the intention of inciting riots during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. As they are set up against a biased legal system and a judge that can make or break their cases, the defendants face an unfamiliar battleground.
The film features performances from a star-studded ensemble cast, including actors like Eddie Redmayne, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Sacha Baron Cohen, Daniel Flaherty, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Keaton, Frank Langella, and John Carroll Lynch.
Beasts of No Nation
A brutal film that holds the mirror to the reality of war
If you like to stream war movies, Beasts of No Nation is a critically acclaimed film you should add to your watch list. This is one of those films that fall under the category of “films you should watch once and never again” for many viewers. Set in a small, war-torn West African village, the tragic and brutal war drama explores the journey of Agu, a young boy who escapes a village-wide execution in a civil war.
Taken under the wing of a ruthless Commandment (Idris Elba), Agu is quickly exposed to his new reality, transforming from an innocent boy to a war-hardened soldier and killer on the run. As the war worsens, Agu and his army’s lives hang in the balance, with Agu’s state of mind declining due to the brutality of his actions.
Elba’s strong performance in the film earned him several accolades, including a SAG Award.
The Irishman
Don’t skip this if you’re a fan of gangster films
When it comes to epic gangster films, you can’t go wrong with a quintessential one like Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman. This slow-burning crime drama, which is set across multiple decades, from the 1950s onwards, tells the real story of Frank Sheeran, a World War II veteran turned hitman who becomes deeply involved with the Bufalino crime family. As he rises up the ranks, Sheeran forms a close bond with powerful Teamster Jimmy Hoffa. As the story unfolds, Sheeran’s choices and the complex web of organized crime are explored.
The Irishman features an all-star cast, including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, and more. It marks the ninth collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese.
Klaus
May the spirit of Christmas be with you
Even if winter has melted away, a must-watch Christmas film is the animated movie Klaus. This highly rated Netflix film is an alternative origin story of Santa Claus. The animation in this film is incredible, adding to a story that is a perfect holiday-time family watch.
The movie focuses on Jesper, a lazy and privileged postman who is sent by his Royal Postmaster General father to the remote island town of Smeerensburg. Here, he must establish a post office and post 6,000 letters within a year. Desperate to meet this quota and avoid being cut from the family fortune, Jesper teams up with a reclusive toy maker named Klaus. As their unlikely partnership grows, the town is transformed, with children getting delightful toys in exchange for letters. Christmas brings about a demand for more toys, while the town throws obstacles in the way.
The film was nominated for the 92nd Academy Awards in the Best Animated Feature category, making it the first animated film from Netflix to be nominated for an Academy Award.
