What colours are rumoured for iPhone 18 Pro?
Before we begin, we should disclaim that all the shades (and the specs for that matter) of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are currently unconfirmed by Apple. If you’re an Apple fan, you’ll know the brand tends to keep its upcoming launches close to its chest, and the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are no exception.
Having said that, there are still plenty of rumours and supposed leaks that “reveal” what colours we can hope to see the iPhone 18 Pro don. According to a recent post on X from TheAppleHub, dummy models show that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be available in the following four colours:
- Space Black
- Light Blue
- Silver
- Dark Cherry
Are the iPhone 18 Pro colours confirmed?
As mentioned earlier, Apple is yet to confirm anything regarding the iPhone 18 Pro. In fact, while the above four shades are currently being hailed as the so-called confirmed colours, we should note that there have been countless other leaks that suggest totally different hues.
For example, back in January a leak suggested the iPhone 18 Pro would be available in “burgundy, brown and purple” shades. In addition, it was reported that Apple wouldn’t be making a Black iteration of the iPhone 18 Pro, yet the most recent leak specifically includes Space Black. Essentially, we would advise that you take these leaks with a pinch of salt.
What Apple usually does with Pro colours
Historically, the iPhone Pro and Pro Max have always had different colours from the standard iPhone, with Apple usually kitting the pricier handsets in more premium-looking and arguably more muted finishes.
For example, the first Pro and Pro Max models, which launched back in 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro series, came in Midnight Green, Space Grey, Silver and Gold. In comparison, the standard iPhone 11 was available in more vibrant colours including Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, Red and White.
You can see the rest of the colour differences below:
| iPhone series | iPhone/iPhone Plus/mini colours | iPhone Pro/Pro Max colours |
| iPhone 11 | Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, Red and White | Midnight Green, Space Grey, Silver and Gold |
| iPhone 12 | Blue, Green, Black, White and Red | Graphite, Silver, Gold and Pacific blue |
| iPhone 13 | Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight and Red | Graphite, Gold, Silver and Sierra Blue |
| iPhone 14 | Midnight, Blue, Starlight, Purple and Red | Deep Purple, Silver, Gold and Space Black |
| iPhone 15 | Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Black | Black Titanium, White Titanium, Blue Titanium and Natural Titanium |
| iPhone 16 | Ultramarine, Teal, Pink, White and Black | Black Titanium, Natural Titanium, White Titanium and Desert Titanium |
| iPhone 17 | Black, Lavender, Mist Blue, Sage and White | Deep Blue, Cosmic Orange and Silver |
Which iPhone 18 Pro colour is most likely to launch?
Put simply, we don’t know which iPhone 18 Pro colour is most likely to launch. While there’s a lot of hype around the Dark Cherry shade in particular, and it’s tipped to be the flagship colour, this is all still speculation. We’ll simply have to wait and see what colours Apple have gone for once the phones actually launch.
When will Apple confirm the colours?
Apple won’t confirm the colours of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max until it officially reveals the handsets. While we don’t know when the launch date for the handsets will be, we can assume it’ll take place at Apple’s annual hardware event which usually happens around September.
We’ll be sure to update this hub once we get some clear dates from Apple.
