They all look pretty nice color wise, but I wonder how they will sell considering the anniversary iphone is coming right around the corner next year.
 
It’s almost CMYK.
yeah, they just need to get rid of that light blue and replace it with a nice vibrant yellow.

That being said I just don't the hype regarding colours. At the end of the day how many people are wrapping a cover around the phone with the colour never to be seen, or only slivers of that colour. I have a 17 Pro Max in orange. I went with this colour because it was the one that came the fastest. I immediately wrapped a nice brown leather case around it as does everyone I know with an iPhone of every generation. I am sure there are some who go sans cover, but I am guessing they are the outlier.
 
Not sure the Cherry colour will do as well as the orange. Last years colour had instant connotations with outdoorsy wear, perfect got the no nonsense redesign they went for. It and the dark blue were very handsome.

The light blue and the cherry are less aggressive, both being kind of ‘city office summer lunchtime’ in theme which isn’t really the target market of the Pro, especially if they’re leaning into the manual camera in the marketing.

What would have slapped is a tan brown pleather back rectangle on the Silver model.
 
YES, black is back! Well, hopefully it is truly a black black, and not grey-toned or blue-toned in any way whatsoever. I currently have the orange Pro Max and while I enjoyed the splash of vibrant color, I am ready to go back to a neutral classic color. Although if the red was (will be?) a true RED (like my son's 14 Plus was)...I would get that in a heartbeat instead.

There are usually more colors in the rumors than the actual line-up, right? Wasn't there a Pro blue last year as well, or a sand/brown one some time before? So I wonder which one they might drop.
Last year was the first year in a while that they didn’t have 4 colors for the pro. I don’t think it is unreasonable to assume that they would go back to 4 colors this year. Especially with the iPhone Air - which had the better colors last year - not performing as well as expected.
 
The photos looks identical to the the previous year in terms of shape/size/placement of things. is it possible that there will be no change to case designs, and we can use the came case from last year if we upgrade?

To me, the iPhone 17 Pro has the most off-putting design of any iPhone ever. So these horrible color choices for the 18 Pro don’t really matter to me anyway.

Ah it ain't so bad. And it's distinctive, it definitely does the job for Apple of showing off that people have the latest model.

Once you put it in a case and start using it, for me anyway, I forget what it looks like and just enjoy how it works.
 
Dark Cherry is going to be a big hit. It has the ability to play masculine to neutral to feminine depending on how you dress it. They’ll have good demographic cross section and it’s a unique color we haven’t really seen before unlike the light blue and black.
 
The cherry color looks too candy-like to me, I want to eat it. The black is boring, and prone to fingerprints and dust. The silver is safe.

I’m hoping the cherry red turns out deeper and more premium-looking in the end, otherwise I’ll go with the blue this year.

"showing off that people have the latest model" 🤣 Where is this even a thing? In elementary school? I couldn't care less what phone other people use.

And yeah, it's hideous, but you can put it in a case. Great solution. Jobs would love this.
