Last year iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange color proved an instant hit, but rumors indicate it’s being replaced in iPhone 18 Pro by a new burgundy. Here’s what to expect, per a new leak.
Here’s what to expect from iPhone 18 Pro’s main new color
Historically, Apple has stuck with very muted colors for its Pro model iPhones. But the company made a big pivot with iPhone 17 Pro. Rather than limiting the device to shades of black and white, Apple launched a flashy Cosmic Orange color that immediately became very popular.
Rumors indicate the company plans a similarly bold direction for iPhone 18 Pro.
But rather than sticking with another orange option, Apple is expected to offer three (maybe four) colors:
- Burgundy/Dark Cherry
- Light Blue
- Silver
- possibly Dark Gray
Rumors are unclear regarding there being a dark gray/black color this year. But there’s a strong consensus on the other three.
And among them, the dark cherry/burgundy is expected to be the new flagship that’s the focus in Apple’s marketing.
Today in a post on Weibo, leaker Fixed Focus Digital says he’s seen lighter and darker versions of the color surface online. But he believes the correct shade is the darker variant, a purple-red shade that resembles cherry.
Some reporting has called the color just ‘red’ or ‘deep red,’ which is likely why some mockups have a lighter, red-heavy look. But per the leaker, a more purple-tinged cherry is what we’re getting.
