Dark Cherry Replaces Cosmic Orange as New Hero Color


Apple went beyond the usual with the iPhone 17 Pro series and delivered the Orange iPhone 18 Pro Max. It quickly became a hero color for multiple brands in the smartphone market. This year, Apple will continue the “iPhone Pro colorization,” bringing a new set of colors and, of course, a new hero color to replace Orange.

iPhone 18 Pro Series Coming in Three Color Options

Today, a new leak reiterates the previous rumors about the color options available for the iPhone 18 Pro series. It confirms that the new devices will have three color options.
The tipster Fixed Focus Digital claims the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be available in Dark Cherry/Burgundy, Sky Blue, and Black color options. Interestingly, it ditches the rumored Silver color option that had been mentioned in older rumors.

Dark Cherry – The New Hero Color to Replace Cosmic Orange

As we already know, the Dark Cherry or Burgundy color will serve as the hero color for the new iPhone 18 Pro lineup. It will replace the Cosmic Orange from last year and will start a new chapter for the iPhone series and the whole smartphone market.

The new leak ditches the Silver Color Option

As usual, we expect other brands to follow Apple and start to deliver Dark Cherry-colored smartphones. Xiaomi, for instance, is already prepared for this new trend, and the upcoming Xiaomi 18 Fold will have this hero color option.

The only strange point here is the absence of a Silver color option that serves as an intermediary color besides Black. The new leak states that those who purchase the iPhone 18 Pro will have to opt for either a plain Black or a colored iPhone.
