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.
