With every iteration of the iPhone, Apple changes the available color options, often introducing a special color or set of colors that set new iPhones apart from the prior generation. With the iPhone 14 Pro, Apple introduced a dark purple, while the standard iPhone 14 was offered in a purple shade.

Apple's iPhone 15 and 15 Pro models will also come in unique colors, and 9to5Mac says that an unnamed source indicates Apple is working on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models in a dark red, which is close to a burgundy shade. The color hex code is #410D0D, described as a dark sienna.

The standard iPhone 15 models could be available in new dark pink and bright, light blue colors. The pink shade, color hex code #CE3C6C is a deeper pink described as "telemagenta." The blue, color hex code #4DB1E2, is described as "picton blue."

The dark red shade that Apple may have planned for the iPhone 15 Pro models would likely be accompanied by standard (PRODUCT)RED devices in a brighter shade, along with more traditional shades close to silver/gold and space gray. iPhone 15 models could have more color options, including colors akin to red, black, and white.

Apple's dark red color would presumably be offered for the titanium finish rumored for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Apple so far has released titanium Apple Watch models in a standard silver titanium color and a darker titanium color, but red anodization would be entirely new.

According to 9to5Mac's source, the information on the color options is "still early" and "could change" closer to the fall, so the colors shared could be off. As Apple plans devices well in advance of when they launch, design choices will likely be solidified in the near future. Apple is expected to begin the EVT (engineering validation test) phase of iPhone 15 production in March.

I really don't get all the excitement over colors. Is anyone really using these things without a case?
It seems more and more people have stopped using a case actually. Not sure if this is because phones are more durable or because they are getting heavier and heavier so people want to keep them light, or if many people have discovered that they didn't really need a case all along. I have never used a case since my Nokia and Motorola days, or for iPhones, since the iPhone 3GS. Never dropped it once. Never any scratches or damages. Looks better. Feels lighter. But of course those who are prone to drop or scratch their phones should use a case.

I wish I didn't need a case. I'm a clumsy F, so I broke plenty of phones in my day.

This is petty as hell, but I ***** love my deep purple 14 Pro.

I've been waiting for USB-C iPhone for years and years and years—and yet, I'm considering waiting a while to upgrade not only because I'm typically not a year-over-year iPhone upgrader, but also because the Deep Purple 14 Pro is just too slick.

Red just ain't my jam.
 
@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 Haven’t you been hoping for a red 14 Pro Max model?
Yes sir! For a long time. If this is true. I'm definitely buying 2 iPhone 15 Pro Max in 1TB. It’s gotten my name written all over it. This is like a dream come true. I begged Apple and send emails and letters to Apple Corporate back in September, 2022. Only took 15 years!!! Wow!!!
