New iPhone 16 Pro Color Could Have Bronze Appearance

I think I'm gonna spring for the white model this year. It's always the least "boring" Pro color since it's a much lighter, eye-catching shade.
How about shade of Purple again. The Deep Purple 14 PM has been my favorite color Apple has done. Or some kind of green, those are always awesome. Seem to get a bit of a richer color with green on the Pros.
I usually put my phones in thin clear cases so I can see the device color itself, but if I decide to upgrade my 13 Pro this fall and the only options are multiple shades of gray then I guess I'll need to look for a case with a fun color instead.
Thats what happens when your visit MR several times a day, every day.
The white models are more elegant to my eye. Plus, they don't show dust collecting around the cameras!
I have wanted a bronze or copper color phone for many years. I am not getting a phone until the 17 Pro so I hope one of those colors is available next year.
I also really want a burnt orange, as well as the darker red like the 8Plus had.

One more thing! There were only boring colours in the Pro lineup, so we decided to add a brand new much more boring colour!
The natural titanium of the 15 Pro can barely be called gray and is already very close to tipping the scales to a bronze color in any lighting condition other than bright commercial 5000K white. Adding another bronze color to those options isn't going to make much of a difference.
I miss the 5C. Prettiest iPhones they ever made, perhaps tied with the Jet Black iPhone 7.
The natural metal color is always going to hold up better to scratches than any colored version, no matter what metal it's made out of. Any process to color metal will always be prone to scratching and revealing the natural color underneath (unless they find a way to embed the color completely within the molten metal).
Because then people would complain that the Pro line phones look cheap and toy-ish.... The point is people will always complain no matter what.
