iPhone 18 Pro Reportedly Won't Come in Black

But I am sure the supposed “IPhone Fold” will along with the next Gen Air to make people who want Basic Black pay more for just a color
 
The only black that was worth while for me was the Jet Black 7. Beyond that, I appreciate other color options.

Apple understands marketing. This isn't any more what you want, but how you advertise their product to your peers.

This worked brilliantly with iPod while earbuds. Most people disliked the color, but it was visible and become iconic. Felt like everyone had iPod.

Trying the same with iPhone Pro is bold. Everyone expects black to be available. But it would just look the same as every other black phone on the market. Now that I was forced to choose something else, I got blue "against my will". And everyone around me recognizes that as latest Apple Pro. And I grew to like it.

^^^There is exactly one commenter in the threads so far who actually understands the primary driver behind color ways, and it's this one.

Sure, there are others like suppliers, trends/fashion, physics, cost/BOM, etc, but none of those matter as much this.
 
a black apple watch is the borriest thing you can put around your wrist.
a little offtopic, i know. but i mentioned the color black.

for business phones, not having the black option, might be a problem.
 
I won't miss it. I love my Orange 17 Pro Max and wish that Apple makes such bold and beautiful colors for the Pro models. Will be disappointing if the foldable comes only in silver and black. Highly possible for that to happen.

17 was the first year I’ve skipped since the 14 because there was no black Pro. Looks like I’ll either skip upgrading with the 18 or finally jump over to Android. I wouldn’t mind trying out my Steam games on a phone…
