iPhone 18 Pro Colors Apparently Include Black, But Skip Silver

[MacRumors]

iPhone 18 Pro colors could include Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, and Black, with a Silver option unlikely to make the final lineup, according to the leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital."

In a new post on Weibo, the leaker "Fixed Focus Digital" said the iPhone 18 Pro has entered full mass production and predicted a slightly different color lineup from what previous rumors have suggested, featuring Dark Cherry (also referred to as Burgundy), Sky Blue, and Black.

The leaker said a Silver option will "most likely" not be offered, adding in a reply that they have not seen evidence of that color's existence in China. If accurate, the lineup would mean Apple is replacing all three iPhone 17 Pro colors with new options for iPhone 18 Pro, rather than carrying Silver over as many earlier reports had suggested.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman first described the iPhone 18 Pro's main new shade as "deep red." A Macworld report later called it "Dark Cherry," and said the other colors would be Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver.

Weibo leaker "Instant Digital" said Apple may skip black, then described Dark Cherry as a mix of burgundy, coffee, and deep purple. Dummy models from Sonny Dickson showed Dark Cherry, Light Blue, Black, and Silver, while SIM tray photos showed Dark Cherry with Light Blue and Dark Gray.

The rumors point to Dark Cherry replacing Cosmic Orange as the signature Pro color, with Light Blue or Sky Blue, Silver, and Black or Dark Gray also possible. Black remains uncertain, after Apple reportedly considered black and steel gray for the iPhone 17 Pro before dropping both.

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to be unveiled at the company's September event next week, alongside the company's first foldable iPhone, dubbed the "iPhone Ultra."

They removed the only color that would hide the aluminum’s chips and scratches 🫩

I really liked the silver one 😔 But the Light Blue color looks nice, at least in leaks.

 

[erikkfi]

This would be quite a surprise (not inclusion of black, but dropping of silver). Silver is the beige of our era and Apple loves it.

 

[boswald]

Please don't let this be true!

The colors are leaked by TORRAS already and it includes silver:

 

[Eorlas]

is black actually black and not black-adjacent? its been ages since apple offered the deep glossy black and the sleek matte black waaay back from iphone 7 or 8.

 

[super chimp]

It’s strange as wasn’t there a video doing the rounds featuring a silver iPhone 18 Pro doing a drop test?

 

[Itsedstech]

Yeah this dudes full of it, we already saw leaked videos of the drop test with a silver iPhone and matching silverish colored glass.

 

[ps3zocker]

What is their problem with silver and black lately?

 

[CaféPicasso]

I'm really looking forward to a true black phone again.. (or anything from apple... never liked "midnight") but I'm afraid that this with chip like crazy

 

[bobtamboo]

I'd like the silver with colour matched back glass :'(

 

[lenningj]

hopefully starts at 1099$ ;/ and not a $/£ more

 

[Rychiar]

so they'll all take damage 🙄

 

[bibby]

Black should always be among the Pro colors.

I don't think it's a leak, more a guess based on rumors...
I think they will stick to three colors again

Exactly! I hope this is inaccurate. For an aluminum device that sees as much action as an iPhone, silver is the only option in which I'm interested. For a desktop? Color is totally fine.

I know a LOT of folks are going to be excited about the return of black.

Is it too early to be grumpy with John? 😜

 

[lenningj]

a buy if the camera island was protected too and not by a lip of the case

Serious question to those who know:
The silver iPhone 17 Pros - when they scratch, is it really silver underneath?
Or is the silver color just a finish like any other color?

 

[Wiesenlooser]

This reads like a translation error to me.

All the iphones had a silver / white version ever since the 3g. All apple devices are silver by nature, some only have this colour, i doubt they will release a phone that doesnt match any other apple device.

It is aluminium. Of course it is silver. But it is more sparkly than the unscratched, matte finish.

I have a 17 PM. I don't use cases. The thing is pristine - and I'm not overly precious about how I handle it. It's taken a few tumbles. If there are scratches, I can not see any of them. I can't say the same for some friends who have tinted 17 Pros.

 

[xgman]

seems the only color that doesn't show paint chips

 

[Berti10]

Everybody who knows iPhone colors knows, that “Sky blue” will just be a different shade of Silver. Like the Air, which comes in Silver, Silver, Silver and Black.

Another reason to keep the 17 Pro Max and skip this years.
