- The latest leak claims the iPhone 18 Pro will be available in Dark Cherry/Burgundy, Sky Blue, and Black colorways.
- A report from Fixed Focus Digital suggests that Silver may be dropped from the lineup, while Black is likely to appear.
- Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro on September 9, with pre-orders starting on September 12 and retail availability on September 18.
- Previous rumors indicated that the iPhone 18 Pro would come in Cosmic Orange and other colors.
- The new Dark Cherry/Burgundy shade is said to serve as this year’s hero color, replacing last year’s Cosmic Orange.
Leaks indicate that the iPhone 18 Pro will be available in three color options: Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, and Black, with Silver being dropped. The Dark Cherry shade, described as a wine red with a faint purple cast, is expected to be the signature color for this Pro cycle, replacing last year’s Cosmic Orange.124
The iPhone 18 Pro series is set to be unveiled at Apple’s event on September 9, alongside the anticipated foldable iPhone Ultra. Pre-orders are expected to open on September 12, with retail availability on September 18, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of September 11.3
A well-regarded leaker noted that while the Dark Cherry color is confirmed, the previously rumored Silver option is likely not available. Instead, the color lineup will feature a deep red, a light blue (Sky Blue), and a darker neutral, which is still uncertain but could be Black.
The shift in color strategy is significant, as Apple has historically avoided reusing hero colors. The absence of Cosmic Orange from the new lineup suggests a fresh direction for the brand, which has seen much debate over the Pro colors leading up to the launch.5
As the launch date approaches, speculation continues about the final color options, with many eager to see how Apple will surprise its customers this time around.
“The leak suggests Dark Cherry will replace last year's Cosmic Orange as the signature color, with a wine red hue and faint purple cast. However, Apple hasn't confirmed final names or shades, and pre-orders are expected to open September 12 with retail on September 18.”
