Apple’s next premium iPhone may already have its color lineup revealed. A new leak claims the iPhone 18 Pro and likely the iPhone 18 Pro Max will launch in four finishes, this time shown directly on the phone’s camera island metal instead of simple Pantone swatches.
According to a tipster from China, the upcoming color options are expected to be:
- Dark Gray
- Dark Cherry
- Silver
- Light Blue
The standout among the four is clearly Dark Cherry, which is rumored to be the new signature or “hero” color for the series. It would reportedly replace Cosmic Orange, the attention-grabbing finish introduced on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
Dark Cherry has been described as a red wine-inspired shade, giving Apple’s next flagship a deeper and more premium look. If history repeats itself, the color may also inspire copycat finishes from several Chinese Android smartphone brands, similar to what happened with Cosmic Orange.
Meanwhile, Light Blue appears similar to the Light Blue finish currently used on Apple’s MacBook Air lineup, potentially bringing a softer and cleaner option to the Pro series.
The remaining two finishes stay close to Apple’s usual formula. Dark Gray offers the classic muted professional look, while Silver is said to be identical to the Silver variant used on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
While Apple has yet to confirm anything officially, the latest leak suggests the company may once again use color as a major selling point for its next-generation Pro iPhones. If accurate, the iPhone 18 Pro lineup could offer a mix of familiar choices and one bold new standout.
