Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be available in a new "Rose" color, claims a rumor out of China, corroborating previous claims.

Chinese Weibo-based leaker OvO Baby Sauce OvO, a relatively new source of supply chain leaks, said on Tuesday that the new color code for the iPhone 16 Pro models is simply "Rose," not the previous "Rose Gold" color that Apple first offered back in 2015 for the iPhone 6S.

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro and ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max are expected to be available in black, white or silver, gray or "Natural Titanium," and rose. Kuo's prediction mirrored an earlier rumor from the same Weibo source, claiming that the existing Blue Titanium color will be dropped from the ‌‌iPhone 16 Pro‌‌ lineup in favor of a new "rose" titanium color.

Meanwhile, Kuo believes the ‌iPhone 16‌ and ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus will apparently be offered in black, green, pink, blue, and white. The iPhone 15 and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus are available in black, green, pink, blue, and yellow. This means that white will replace yellow, with the colors remaining the same.
Kuo mentioned that Apple might rename some of the existing colors, similar to how "White" on the iPhone 12 was changed to "Starlight" on the iPhone 13. Even if the color names remain the same, the actual tone and appearance might still differ. The ‌iPhone 16‌ lineup is anticipated to be announced in the fall.

Expecting Rose colour as it should be replacing old gold/rose gold colour of the previous Pro models. Also hoping that colours of the non Pro models will be brighter this year.

What color is rose? Rose is a vibrant and romantic color that blends the intensity of pink with a bold hint of red.
What color is rose? The color rose sits between red and magenta and is one of the main colors associated with love and romance. The rose hex code is #FF007F.
Hopefully, it’s a unisex colour. Most of the pro coloured phones are fab!

I don't understand the reluctance all this time to drop a pink Pro model. The demand for the pink 15 was very much there and so many people want a pink pro. It is probably the color I see the most with the 15 so I hope rose means pink this time around.

Wait until you go to pick out a new paint color and start reading the names on the swatches.

I just picked out "Warm semi-gloss eggshell" for the overhangs on my house. There were a good fifty options for various shared of white.

It won't be pink, or even rose, really. It'll be some shade of red with the opacity turned down to 5%, like every other iPhone, currently. Sigh.

I'm ready for some bright, solid, non-washed-out-metallic colors! 🎨

Ah, Rose Gold... it was such a wonderful color and I'm so sad to think it'll just remain a page in the history books. 😭

The consistency of at one point being able to get a Rose Gold color iPhone (6s, SE, 7, 7 Plus), Apple Watch (Series 1 and 2), MacBook (Retina 12 inch), iPad Pro (9.7” and 10.5”), and even Beats Solo3, for some reason, was amazing as well.

Is Rose the new “special” limited edition color? Meaning it won’t be around for the iPhone 17 Pro?

Grrr. Do I wait for the 17 pro and risk missing out on my favorite color? Hmmmm…

A "rose" comes in many colours. Simply saying "rose" likely means the most popular association with the word "rose", a red rose🌹
 
This will be my first upgrade since 2021, so I'll be looking forward to choosing the new, interesting color (as interesting as you can make a titanium phone, given the titanium severely limits how "colorful" the finish can be). Rose gold was one of the best phone colors they ever came out with (along with the Alpine Green I currently have), so something similar sounds like a good option to me.
 
Personally, I find these colors irrelevant. You are much braver than I if you carry around a $1500 phone not protected in a case. I am 75, and my phone gets dropped 3-4 times a year. I have yet to damage one.

The plus is that I get to change phone color/cases several times a year. I get tired of the color and it’s, next, for $10-12. Rose, red,white or blue, it’s all the same to me.

Moronic way of describing a color. What’s the problem in saying black, white, green, red…?

Marketing guys love complication.

I like having interesting and more descriptive color names, when they match the color. Rose is the actual name of a color that is between red and magenta. I hope that’s the case, I will 100% buy at least one. But knowing Apple it will be an ugly salmon or rose gold/copper color (sorry rose gold lovers, it’s better than regular gold at least)
