iPhone 18 Pro: Dark Cherry, Light Blue, and Dark Gray Chassis Leaked [Update]

Update: Since publication, new information has come to light suggesting the images have been AI-manipulated and are not in fact iPhone 18 Pro chassis parts. The original article follows.


The color options Apple is reportedly planning for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max have appeared online today in the form of images of chassis parts of unknown authenticity.

Shared by the account name "yeux1122" on the Korean-langauge Naver blog, the images show what appear to be production-ready frames for three of the four colors Apple is rumored to be planning.

Multiple rumors have suggested Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro models, and the color is expected to be the special color that Apple chooses in 2026, similar to Cosmic Orange for iPhone 17 Pro.

Two other colors Apple is said to be planning are Light Blue and Dark Gray. Apple may also offer the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in Silver, though that color isn't shown in these pictures. Macworld previously shared what it said were Pantone codes for the four colors Apple is testing.

The four colors have also been spotted in the first iPhone 18 Pro dummy models to leak, providing another look at the shades Apple is likely to use.

The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to be unveiled this September alongside Apple's first foldable iPhone, which will have its own set of color finishes that are likely to be more muted, with silver, white, and indigo rumored so far.

Wait no, the images appear to be AI-generated. Check out these SIM trays, the one on the left is completely different to the right and the "screws" in the bag on the right are all fused together.


Come on guys, you're better than this.

And the blue and black version seems to be the exact same picture, just recolored. If you look at the reflections on the plastic bags, they are identical, and the AI artifacts are the same as well.

These are aftermarket parts for the iPhone 17 Pro series, not prototype Apple parts. You can tell because they have these stamp markings which are a hallmark of aftermarket replacement parts. Official Apple parts use a laser-engraved DataMatrix code for QC tracking.

What does it matter what the colour is, most people put them in a cover so the phone colour is never seen unless it is a transparent cover, not seen many of them.
The color is showing more than in the past since iPhone 17 pro as the camera plateau is bigger. Most cases have an opening for this plateau and therefore the color shines more.
Cases that cover the camera plateau are looking like cheap cases in my opinion. Bottom line: colors matter!
