iPhone 16 Pro Could Come in Two New Color Options

[MacRumors]

Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models could come in all-new "Desert Titanium" and "Titanium Gray" color options, according to the leaker known as "Majin Bu."

Mock-up of the alleged new iPhone 16 Pro color options shared by Majin Bu.​

In a new post on X (formerly Twitter), Majin Bu said that the "Desert Titanium" will be similar to the Gold color option offered on the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, but deeper and heavier. On the other hand, "Titanium Gray" will apparently be similar to the shade of Space Gray offered on the iPhone 6 in 2014.

The iPhone 15 Pro comes in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium, and Natural Titanium. It is worth noting that there is no ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ with a Gold finish. Gold was available through 2013's ‌iPhone‌ 5S to 2017's ‌iPhone‌ 8, and then on 2018's ‌iPhone‌ XS to 2022's ‌iPhone 14‌ Pro. The reintroduction of a gold-like shade with the iPhone 16 Pro seems very plausible as a result.

• iPhone 15 Pro Color Options: Which Should You Choose?

Apple's "Pro" iPhone models have always been available in no more than four color options at launch, usually with basic black, white, and gold options alongside a more striking color like green, blue, or purple. This means that while Black Titanium and White Titanium are highly likely to be carried over from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro, the continuation of Blue Titanium and Natural Titanium is far from certain. It is possible that these color options may be discontinued to make way for "Desert Titanium" and "Titanium Gray," especially since "Titanium Gray" appears to be very similar to Natural Titanium.

This is the first rumor about the iPhone 16 Pro's color options and Majin Bu has a mixed track record for revealing accurate information about Apple's plans. Nevertheless, more information is likely to emerge in the coming months as we approach launch.

Let’s hope they’re a little more exciting.

Btw: the iPhone 16 in 2014?

Yawn…… really captivating huh.

Yawn…… really captivating huh.

Did anyone say its the only change that will happen?

 

[ps3zocker]

Why not name them Gray 1, 2, 3, 4?

 

[ossifer]

What does it matter the color of the phone itself? Who uses the phone without a case? I think I ordered a (what Apple has marketing name for) black phone, but I’d have to take the case off to be sure.

 

[till]

Infinite shades of medium grey, never anything close to black. Thanks Apple, great design.

 

[iPay]

Why not name them Gray 1, 2, 3, 4?

Or 50 shades of Grey?

Clear cases exist.

Why do Pro’s have to be so boring. Them not making a Barbie pink phone was a huge missed opportunity. And why are the 15’s really pale pastels. What I want is a see through colorful phones as an homage to the first iMacs

Id did this for years, why buying a "design" phone and than hiding it in a case? I started using cases only when iPhones beam rounded frames and were difficult to hold.

Remember when Apple wasn't afraid of bold colors?

Remember when Apple wasn't afraid of bold colors?

The regular iPhone 15 comes in colors.

Apple doesn't do colors really for the Pro line. That's their choice for whatever reason. But it isn't like the 5C was a "Pro" device either.

I do. And when I do put it in a case its a clear one.

how depressing ...

 

[contacos]

The colors give me nasty public Autobahn toilet vibes

The colors of the pro phones was a huge miss last year. People tried to claim natural titanium was something close to starlight or gold, but it wasn't. "Desert titanium" sounds great.

 

[scrapesleon]

It took courage to bring back the gold color I’m sure you’ll like it

 

[onedrunkhorse]

I'm curious if we're gonna see a spring color for the 15 lineup this year.

It's gonna look AMAZING in all the black rubber cases. 😆

 

[bradman83]

The past few year’s Apple’s done a mid-cycle color release in the spring timeframe; Alpine Green for the iPhone 13 Pro in 2022 and yellow for the regular and plus 14 last year. Curious if they’ll continue the tradition of adding off cycle colors. The dark greens of the 11 Pro and 13 Pro were really sharp. (Not that I want to wait until March of next year, I’ll be ready to upgrade my 13 Pro this fall most likely)

 

[VisceralRealist]

I've said before that I think the titanium itself limits the color options they can use. It seems to be so strongly "gray" that all the other colors must just be slightly tinted variants of titanium.

 

[klasma]

Clear cases exist.

Indeed, there is a clear case for not using a case.

I haven’t used a case in years, just get apple care + and use your phone without fear of breaking it.

 

[TruthWatcher412]

Surprised there's no pink option
