iPhone 18 Pro Color Rumors Might Disappoint a Lot of People
Fresh out of the rumor haze, Apple's iPhone 18 Pro color options are starting to take shape, and not everyone is going to be happy.
According to Weibo leaker Instant Digital, Apple's next-generation premium iPhones still won't come in black in 2026. If the rumor is true, it will be the second consecutive year Apple has ditched what was arguably its most classic color option for the Pro lineup.
Instead, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that Apple is testing a deep red finish, which is probably as close as you're going to get to Apple's now-discontinued PRODUCT(RED) line. Rumors of purple and brown finishes have also circulated, but Gurman believes those are "just variants of the same red idea." Let's hope so.
For what it's worth, the rumored foldable iPhone is expected to stick with conservative space gray/black and silver/white finishes, but you may have to wait a little longer for the book-style device. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to launch in September, but the "iPhone Fold" could come later towards the end of the year.
