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

[jlc1978]

If the rendered brown color happens, I'll get one. I like brown as a color and the colors Apple uses always look better in person than in renders.

Here is a chart of possible colors:

No real brown, closest looks like maybe 40mm. At some point the durability comes into play as well

While not difficult to make it gold, it is difficult to make it gold but not tacky. They could easily make it a gold mirror.

The challenge is anodizing titanium only can produce a small range of colors as opposed to say, aluminum becasue the process are different. Titanium's colors are due to the depth of the oxide layer produced by the anodization voltage, where as others use dyes during the process. That's likely why there is no red 15 Pro.

A little over a eeek to go till the event and nobody knows the color for sure
Hundreds of thousands assemblers have seen the color and yet. No leak
Tim cook has accomplished his tripling down on security. You only know what they want you to know

 

[jbachandouris]

I am strongly leaning towards black but this color may be a possible alternative. If they make enough. One of the first years making gold they ran out almost immediately.

I just want a nice rust/burnt orange color. Like wtf Apple it’s always the same ****. Other hardware companies at least change it up. Black, green hue/blue hue, white, silver/gold.

There was already a solid leak of the colors. That 4 pictured image will be correct. Space black, natural, white, gold. Same colors rinse repeat.

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.

No offense to your dead grandmother, but something tells me the phone will look better than the nail polish?

 

[aapl owner]

That just looks tan to me.

You might need a new screen because it’s definitely gold.

These are the possible colors Apple has to work with. https://monsterbolts.com/blogs/news...wJOGXuXO9KuZdyvU8ovvpd2K0LpOSBBWFod_2TCpy09Xz

62.5 is gorgeous! That was the color I was hoping this one would've been when they said it was a “Rose” titanium

I was just going to mention we went from rose, bronze, and now … gold. The 9th can’t come fast enough.

I was looking forward to the Rose color I knew it was too good to be true. Besides if it were Rose this forum would’ve mocked anyway calling it “a phone for girls” 🙄 like they are with this one! Probably why apple doesn’t do fun colors for the pro line

Blame the millennials and their love of “greige” colors. I’m a millennial and I despise that about my generation.

Often wonder if there is something off in their color vision. Like a lack there of. Just kidding. The Auto industry went to boring colors years ago and now 80% of new vehicles are black, white, or grey - can you get any more dull and boring. Color expression is dead.

 

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

I was hoping for a nice neon brown.

But who cares as we’re gonna put a case on it anyway. 🤷‍♂️

The challenge is anodizing titanium only can produce a small range of colors as opposed to say, aluminum becasue the process are different. Titanium's colors are due to the depth of the oxide layer produced by the anodization voltage, where as others use dyes during the process. That's likely why there is no red 15 Pro.

I was speaking to the color choice on the glass. Yes I’ve done lots of aluminum anodizing myself and am somewhat familiar with titanium. Titanium gets the hue not from dye like aluminum but rather from the amperage I believe.

 

[SactoGuy18]

If that color IS accurate, no wonder why some say the color is more like the Rose Gold, but in a muted form, used on the iPhone 6S models.

 

[Supercyborgninja]

Honestly now that iPhones are a true black…I find it impossible to switch colors.

I’ve only ever gotten black phones, if the black wasn’t so true black, I’d switch to this color I think.

 

[LaterWolf]

This really shows the state of iphone. 6 pages of bla bla about a color which probally going to a total other one. When was the color guessed right last few years never…

Yeah...

So many amazing possibilities, and instead they choose the LAMEST colors (as in not colors at all). Just use the grayscale slider LOL.

I use cases anyway, so not a big deal, but they could sell a butt-ton of these in green, yellow, orange, blue, purple, and red!

 

[tomtad]

That camera bump is just relentlessly ugly at this point

 

[SKeijmel]

Would love to see green

 

[ryan102]

1. Leak terrible looking photos of a new colour
2. Get lots of negative comments
3. Release images of an even worse colour you’re not planning on selling
4. People say ‘original was much better’
5. Sell Millions

Really hard to tell from the screenshot but I think it might be worth considering. Need to see it in person though!

Yes, it uses the anodized layer thickness to create the appearance of color, unlike dyes which are actually a color.

No red - cannot anodize titanium red.

No red - cannot anodize titanium red.

Is green possible (for the green lovers out there)?

 

[xgman]

looks like the "nude" clothing color.

 

[hch720]

I am more interested in what case that is

 

[Saturn1217]

Things looks so much better than that previous brown leak. Hopefully it is more like this. This looks like a proper rose gold.

Of course since Apple is rumored to be stingy with the ram I’m probably going to need to skip this and wait for the 17 Pro Max. Hopefully the “special” color next year doesn’t suck.
