iPhone 18 Pro's Special Color Rumored Yet Again

Yes! We can stick our black phones in our black cases again so we can have a slightly off-black plateau hanging out the back. Living that monochrome life!

The issue with colours like the orange for example is that they will date your phone. They are great when your phone is new, but in 5 years everyone will know you are using a 5 year old iPhone (imagine the shame!). Black on the other hand will be anonymous and neutral.

Should you care about this, that is up to you but plenty of people do. I use 5 year old iPhone but it's black so I don't feel any social pressure.
 
I actually like the Light Blue color. At least it doesn't stand out excessively like the Cosmic Orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max.
 
Take a look at the new OPPO Find X9 Ultra. They have hit on a classy look for a high-end slab phone. I was surprised by how good a phone could look.

As for the iPhone 18 ... I could go with the Dark Gray, but the other colors are sort of blah for me.
 
I have to admit the prune phone is growing on me. Which means it won't be the color when they come out.

I wish they would bring back the orange. I didn't like it at first but now I do.

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.

Im in the same boat, as much as I love my orange something about that Dark Cherry just speaks to me but looks like my next upgrade cycle will. have to be whatever other "odd" color they choose next.
 
Currently using the Cosmic Orange 17 Pro since launch day, this light blue looks quite delicious.
 
Burgundy turned out to be ********. I’m very hesitant to call that a red. It looks like a blend between red and purple, leaning towards purple.
 
First time since 5S that I went with white/silver and it looks great in a clear Spigen case. But Spigen’s “147% better anti-yellowing” had not lived up to the claim as my case is three months old and it’s already yellowing around the edges. But when the case was brand new, really gives the phone a nice look.
 
Might be ready to upgrade my 13 Pro (Sierra Blue) this year. Was planning to change up the color, but looks like it's light blue again.

Edit: With a recent battery replacement, I think I’ll push it out a year and wait for the XX Pro.

The dark cherry color reminds me of something... but the iPhone wears it better.

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

I see no hate but disappointment. What was the last time you had a desire to visit an Apple Store because they had launched something so cool you had to go see it? Do a quick search on products launched under Tim Cook and you will see the following (just to be clear, I am talking real innovation and not a mini or Pro version of an already existing product):
Apple Watch - 2015 (a real innovation but other than minor tweaks the product still looks the same 10 years later)
Apple Music - 2015 (Spotify came out in 2008)
AirPods - 2016 (the Onkyo W800BT was released in 2015)
HomePod - 2018 (a joke of a product and Alexa was already a thing in 2014)
AirTag - 2021 (Tile had been launched in 2013)
VisionPro - 2023 (a total failure in my opinion)

In my opinion, he focused on "evolution" vs "revolution" and it got a bit too old to see him coming every year talking about the "new iPhone" which was always a slight change in size, a new color, a faster chip and a better camera. Don't get me wrong, he made tons of money for Apple's shareholders but as someone looking for real product innovation I think he left a lot to be desired.
 
Well as an old timer at age 81, the Western Bell plant in Indianapolis, Indiana (not China and there were a thousand ladies making them in the plant as I saw in person) made telephones of my youth that were not changed annually and I have an old red Princess with touch tone pad (not a rotary dial that was obsoleted by the phone company central stations as they could not sense their signal for dialing). If the local phone company could generate a dial tone, the old phone might just work but all can central offices want the digital sounds now. Nothing wrong with the Princess and it did not need 120VAC to work.

Ah, well, now we have to save a few miili-seconds to call someone. We complain it takes a few seconds to make an international call. As a young kid, I called my grandfather in Tucson, Arizona from the north side of Indianapolis, Indiana which is about 1,500 miles apart. It took several hours to connect all the local telephone patch panels across the US to make the connection.

The pitifully small incremental updates/upgrades every year are a con man's delight. We have been conditioned to think we need the latest whiz bang processor to make a call, or look at a web page.or take a picture.

How many millions did Tim Cook & friends get paid annually for continuing this shell game?
