iPhone 18 Pro's Special Color Rumored Yet Again

[MacRumors]

Last week, Macworld's Filipe Espósito reported that Apple is testing four color options for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and one of those colors has since been corroborated by a known leaker on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

The four alleged color options include Light Blue, Dark Cherry, Dark Gray, and Silver.

Dark Cherry would be the signature new color option for the iPhone 18 Pro models this year, following Cosmic Orange for the iPhone 17 Pro models. This might end up being the "deep red" that was previously rumored for the devices.

Weibo leaker "Instant Digital" today corroborated the Dark Cherry color option, describing it as a mix of burgundy, coffee, and deep purple. Those were all previously-rumored iPhone 18 Pro color options, but it appears that they are actually one in the same.

"Instant Digital" has accurately leaked Apple information before, such as the yellow color for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.

Light Blue looks similar to the iPhone 13 Pro's Sierra Blue color option.

Depending on the shade, Dark Gray could be similar to either the iPhone 13 Pro's Graphite color option or the iPhone 14 Pro's Space Black finish.

Silver would remain an option too — it is Apple's classic color.

iPhone 17 Pro models are available in Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver. Macworld said Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue will likely be discontinued, so do not expect either of those color options to remain available for the iPhone 18 Pro models.

Last year, Macworld accurately leaked the iPhone 17 Pro's Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue colors, but the report also mentioned black, white, and gray color options that did not materialize. So, at least some of the rumored iPhone 18 Pro colors will likely prove to be true, but it remains to be seen if Apple moves forward with all four.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro models in September.

“The pipeline of new colors is the most exciting it’s ever been at Apple.”

 

[Two Appleseeds]

Hope it really isn't the exact colors in the mockups. So bland and unexciting. A rerun of the orange would be better

 

[TwoBytes]

Space Blue, Space Grey, Space Cherry, Space Silver

I’m a big fan of these color options. A shame we couldn’t have had this last year when I upgraded. I always seem to miss the good colors.

 

[groove-agent]

I don't know why colour is so important when you can change the color of your phone with a case, which most people have on their phones anyway.

Really wish my 11 Pro's green makes a return. But the burgundy looks nubbad.

 

[switz]

Since I have put every recent iPhone/three cameras into a case, the only color seen is the rear plateau with the three lenses, flash etc. Silver is the most neutral color choice for me. Doubt this will be another must have year so will worry about hardware maybe in 2027.

True to a certain point. If it's just black or silver than I wouldn't mind slapping on any other case. But if the back was nicely coloured, I would put a clear case like I have on my 11 Pro to see that green.

It's such a good orange.

 

[cateye]

I like this year's orange (although, I wish it were more of a pure, punch-you-in-the-face orange and less "dreamsicle"... If you're going to go orange, go orange). But as someone who has always chosen "basic black," that dark cherry is hot. I'm not in the market for an upgrade this year or next (I have a 16 Pro), but if I was, that might be my choice.

 

[nymphe]

I'm still using an 13 PM, and wanted to upgrade, but I really don't like the new design with "plateueue" and two color background. Somehow, it doesn't grow on me.

I wish there was a 17 plus model...

 

[Allin44]

I’ll just be going silver from now on. I think it looks the best with almost any case, particularly clear or frosted cases.

Tim Cook's innovation legacy: new colors, updated chip.

I don’t understand the hate for him. Apple is at the best position it could have been and to be honest cheapest for better hardware than the market

 

[ab2c4]

How they will look in person could be very different. Every time I see an orange Pro on tv or online it looks really good, but every time I see one in person I don't care for it at all.

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

What does "Rumored Yet Again" mean? Same story repeated twice in one week?

 

[Eggtastic]

Get rid of light blue. it's too close to light gray. Get another bold color in there like dark green.

 

[joshwithachance]

Do we REALLY need another dark purple or light blue this soon though? Like we've already had Deep Purple and Sierra Blue as the hero colors 3 and 4 cycles ago...

 

[Non-Euclidean]

Space Blue, Space Grey, Space Cherry, Space Silver

Liquid Sky, Liquid Grey, Liquid Cherry, Liquid Silver

 

[bigandtasty]

Silvers best one of that bunch

 

[lazyrighteye]

I would be A-OK with these variants, come Sept.

 

[phenste]

idk i would kill for that cherry color, one reason i’ve held onto my 14PM for so long is because i love the deep purple- i’m a sucker for good color in the same way Steve was, so, hope this comes to fruition and doesn’t end up being a sadly desaturated burgundy like we saw the other day in pics. if cosmic orange is any indicator, signature colors might finally become vibrant on the pro again, & i’m looking forward to that.

 

[lyngo]

I do like that light blue color. I wish that would be a normal offering each year.

I don't know why colour is so important when you can change the color of your phone with a case, which most people have on their phones anyway.

While most people do use a case, there also are a lot of people who do not. And some of those who do use a case use a clear case. For these people, color would be important.

We can see from pre-order sales that certain colors are more popular than others

iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Now Facing Extended Delivery Estimates

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air pre-orders began on Friday in the U.S. and many other countries. iPhone 17 Pro Max delivery estimates quickly slipped beyond the Friday, September 19 launch day for those who had yet to place an order, and now the rest of the new models...

www.macrumors.com

We do not know how much supply Apple has for each new iPhone configuration, but if extended delivery estimates generally align with strong demand, then Cosmic Orange for the Pro models and Cloud White for the iPhone Air are proving to be especially popular color options so far. For the regular iPhone 17, Sage and Black are in demand.
