iPhone 16 Pro's Rumored Gold Titanium Color Revealed by This Mockup

[MacRumors]

Just a few weeks ahead of Apple unveiling the iPhone 16 series, we potentially have an early look at a new color option for the Pro models.

9to5Mac today shared a mockup image of the rumored gold finish for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, based on information provided by a previously-accurate source. The publication believes this image is "likely" accurate.

iPhone 15 Pro models were the first highest-end iPhones to not be available in gold since the iPhone X. The devices are offered in four finishes, including Natural Titanium, Blue Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. The addition of a gold color option for iPhone 16 Pro models would mark a return to the norm.

There have been many rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro models being offered in a gold or bronze option, which is expected to replace Blue Titanium. Apple's event on September 9 is fast approaching, so we'll find out for sure soon.

Gold is a pretty timeless color. I do hope they bring it back.

Band-Aid x Apple

It's amazing how many different shades there has been of this model and how thin the margin is from actually looking classy and looking like someone dropped it in a used toilet.

Will bring some some excitement to the event to see what shade it ends up being, but also supports the reason why we don't have a gold 15, the color is so hard to nail.

They pick the most ugly, boring colors. lol.

 

[ab2c4]

That just looks tan to me.

 

[Tagbert]

Looks rather…. caucasian. 🤫

 

[vertsix]

Looks far better than the diarrhea brown from previous renders.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

How about an Apple Watch Ultra orange band color for gods sake.

Looks far better than the diarrhea brown from previous renders.

Big fan of diarrhea colorways.

It is really hard to judge neutral tones from mockups and photos without knowing a lot about the lighting. Just a little difference in the lighting or the surrounding colors can push a neutral color to look completely different. It can go from classy to blech in an instant.

This is Apple, folks. It‘ll look gorgeous.

 

[lanomds1]

I think I was the only one who actually liked the brown from previous render.

 

[HouseLannister]

I would have taken a matte brown Zune color, but don't want gold or desert or whatever this ends up being.

 

[igneousc]

was hoping for a cool looking bronze color, but this feels like some crappy kardashian color

 

[nikon1]

I, for one, find the color in that rendering to be atrociously FUGLY.

Just my opinion — Your Mileage May Vary!

 

[Chuckeee]

There must be a joke somewhere about the price and gold-plating…

 

[redheeler]

I'm so excited for my new iPhone 5s...oh wait

 

[izyreal]

Should call it "Humvee Tan"

 

[klasma]

That just looks tan to me.

I think it’s difficult to make a glass back look golden.

 

[dwaltwhit]

This might be "old man yells at cloud" but the only thing I care less about than color of the phone is the iterative updates to the camera. That's not to say those aren't important to other people, but for me, I end up with whatever this years gray/black is and put a case on it.

 

[10anta]

Thanks. I hate it.

Now a bronze/copper…

Some previous attempts were pretty good:

 

[ab2c4]

Thanks. I hate it.

Now a bronze/copper…

I have been wanting either of those colors for years. Only phone I can ever remember seeing with a color like those was a Samsung, I think it was a Note 20 and Ultra.

They should use latinum instead of titanium.
