Early leaks point to bold new colors for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro. If accurate, Apple is preparing coffee brown, purple, and burgundy as an experiment but only one would be confirmed. Once again, black may not be part of the lineup.
A known Weibo leaker, Digital Chat Station, claims the iPhone 18 Pro will launch with three main color options:
• Coffee brown
• Purple
• Burgundy
This would continue the trend started by the iPhone 17 Pro, which skipped a true black finish. Some fans may not love that, though the warmer tones could give the Pro models a fresh identity.
Why it matters
Apple rarely experiments with deeper earth tones on its Pro line. These colors suggest a shift toward a more expressive look. The move could appeal to buyers who care about design just as much as performance.
Skipping black again is notable. That finish has always had strong demand, but it also tends to show scratches more easily. Darker coatings can be harder to produce at scale, so practicality may be influencing Apple’s choice.
What is still unclear
These are early leaks. Apple could still change colors before launch. Naming also tends to evolve; coffee brown in rumor form might become something more poetic at release.
Expected timing still follows Apple’s usual September window, but details can shift.
Which color would you pick?
