Apple's colorful iPhone XR lineup comes in a total of six colors, offering plenty of options for users to choose one that best suits their preferences. This year's successor to the iPhone XR will similarly be available in six colors, but Mac Otakara says Apple will be tweaking a couple of the options.

Mac Otakara's examples of expected 2019 iPhone XR colors

According to the report, the 2019 iPhone XR will be available in new Green and Lavender colors, which will replace the current Coral and Blue colors. The other current colors of White, Black, Yellow, and (PRODUCT)RED will continue to be offered on the next-generation models.

Mac Otakara also claims to have some information on cases for the next-generation iPhone XS and XS Max models, indicating that silicone cases for the new models will likely come in White, Black, (PRODUCT)RED, and shades similar to the current Spearmint and Mellow Yellow cases, as well as one that's close to the current Lilac leather case.

I just don't get all the color schemes. If you value your iDevice, the first thing you do after unwrapping it is put a shatter-proof case on it, thereby hiding all that glorious "color" (and hopefully the Apple logo on the back, too). Unless, of course,you get your jollies with scratches and cracked screens.
 
I guess Apple know which colours are selling or not and they know what colours are 'in' fashion-wise for 2021, so...

I wonder if they're going to keep the XR on sale (with a price cut) in just black and white like they've done in previous years with other models?
 
Why not add the Green and Lavender to the existing colour range.

Because that’s how Apple works, they usually remove a color, add a color and so on. Consumers when buying phones, they basically are choosing the color first and then storage, and vibrant colors like these tend to draw an attraction for a wider audience who don’t just want the standard ‘slate’ colors.
