iPhone 18 Pro's Four Rumored Colors Revealed, Including 'Dark Cherry'

It’s the best by default, the white/orange for the 17p were hideous.

White/orange is very retro/70s in a way. Better than the timeless black/orange where every day can be Halloween. (As an owner of an orange with transparent case with creme trim as I wanted not to do typical orange/black and the green/transparent case only looked good in autumn (but looked goooooooood!). I still like to think different, though, but everyone has their own preferences and dislikes but I'm pretty sure not too many go for the white/orange or beige/orange theme... )

These are way better.

The light blue opposite the burgundy "dark cherry" is a beautiful contrast.

I still say they need to blend the colors on the back and not have that hideous square

The square might be unavoidable. 🙁

My device history: 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 Pro, 14 Pro, all black... then to a 17 Pro, dark blue. If black returns, I'm going to an 18 Pro Max. I am finally warming up to the larger screen size but I while the dark blue is a pretty color, it's wasted on me as I put my devices in cases. The blue plateau looks silly in a black carbon fiber case. Give me black and take my money.

Stop appealing to me with that Wine colorway, Apple 🍷

But I was hoping that ‘rust’ colour was part of the lineup. It was stunning 😞

I never really understand phone colours. I see one outside of a case once a year or so.

I see mine everyday. I don’t use cases, can’t stand em.

Well if you like carbon fiber cases, Pitaka makes a nice looking gradient blue case

A source said to be familiar with Apple's supply chain today revealed the color options Apple is planning for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the upcoming foldable iPhone.

The information comes from Macworld, which says the signature new color for this year's Pro models will be Dark Cherry, a deep wine-like red. While other sources had previously reported on a "Dark Red" option, the hue is said to be considerably closer to wine than a brighter red. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and other leakers had previously suggested Apple was experimenting with a shade of red for the iPhone 18 Pro, but the color will apparently be much more muted than last year's Cosmic Orange on the iPhone 17 Pro.

According to Macworld's source, Apple has been working on four color options for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, with the following Pantone codes said to be in use internally:

• Light Blue (Pantone 2121), resembling the current iPhone 17's Mist Blue
• Dark Cherry (Pantone 6076), the headline new color
• Dark Gray (Pantone 426C)
• Silver (Pantone 427C), similar to the current generation

The source cautions that all four colors are still in development, and since the iPhone 18 Pro has not yet gone into mass production, Apple still has time to make changes. Apple also does not always offer four color options for the Pro lineup, so one of these shades could be dropped before launch. Last year, both Macworld and leaker Sonny Dickson reported that Apple had considered launching the iPhone 17 Pro in black or steel gray, but neither color was released.

For the first foldable iPhone, which has been rumored to be called the "iPhone Ultra," the device will reportedly come in fewer options than the Pro models, with no bold or vibrant colors. Macworld's source says Apple has been working on a classic silver and white model, as well as an Indigo option similar to the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue.

The same source corroborates earlier leaks on the foldable's design, saying the device will feature two rear cameras, a selfie camera on the outer display, a second selfie camera in the upper-left corner of the inner display, and an iPad mini-style shape when unfolded. The foldable is reportedly just 4.7 millimeters thick when unfolded, which would make it considerably thinner than the 5.6mm iPhone Air.

On the design of the iPhone 18 Pro, the CAD drawings seen by Macworld's source support existing rumors of a smaller Dynamic Island, which would free up a small amount of additional screen space when Live Activities are not in use. The schematics also show a slightly reduced gap between the glass cutout on the back and the camera bump in at least one render, though the source was unable to confirm whether this reflects a finalized design change. A Weibo leaker known as "Instant Digital" previously reported that Apple would adopt a new manufacturing process to minimize the color difference between the glass and the aluminum frame, which may be connected.

The iPhone 18 Pro models and foldable iPhone are expected to be announced in September 2026, though some analysts suggest the foldable will launch at a later date. The iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 are rumored to follow in the first half of 2027.

I like the blue! That’s a surprise. The cherry isn’t bad either.

I guess with the current ones I’d get the silver whatever it is. Orange would be my third pick.

I wish apple wouldn’t relegate the fun colors to lower end hardware 😕
