After ‘Cosmic Orange’ This Might Be the iPhone 18 Pro’s Should-Have Shade

Apple hit a house run with the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pros. The coloration has reportedly been a significant hit, particularly in China, the place customers liken the vivid shade to items made by French luxurious model Hermès, which makes use of a signature orange for its merchandise and packaging. What’s the subsequent coloration Apple is making ready for the iPhone 18 Pros anticipated to launch this fall?

Writing in his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max might are available in a “deep red.” He says that “the new flagship color” is certainly in testing “as of now.” Whether or not Apple provides crimson to the lineup or replaces Cosmic Orange is unclear.

Gurman additionally says that rumors that the iPhone 18 Pros would possibly are available in purple or brown are “probably just variants of the same red idea.” So possibly don’t get your hopes up for these. Additionally, he says the upcoming foldable iPhone is not going to get any enjoyable colours, sticking with “some sort of dark gray or black and a variation of a white or light silver.”

For these preserving tabs, the final time that Apple launched a red-colored iPhone was in 2022 with the (Product)Red iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. The Apple and (Product)Red partnership allowed a portion of the acquisition from these iPhones to be despatched to the Global Fund, a charity that fights HIV/AIDs and different illnesses. Gurman makes no point out of (Product)Red in his publication, which might counsel the crimson iPhone 18 Pros received’t have any connection to it.

If I can share my two cents, crimson is an auspicious coloration in Chinese tradition and is related to success and success. So it wouldn’t shock me in any respect if Apple leans into colours that attraction to China, its third-largest area after the U.S. and Europe.

Other than a brand new crimson shade, the iPhone 18 Pros are anticipated to largely resemble the iPhone 17 Pros. Early rumors declare the premium iPhones may have a smaller Dynamic Island—that’s the pill-shaped cutout that homes the selfie digicam and Face ID sensors. The iPhone 18 Pros additionally might need a greater color-matched aluminum body and glass cutout for wi-fi charging. Other annual upgrades to anticipate: a quicker chipset and improved cameras.

It feels tremendous early to be speaking concerning the iPhone 18 Pros, however when you observe the rumors and leaks cycle, you’ll know that is all on observe. Also, Apple’s fall iPhone launch is barely 6.5 months away. Wild, I do know. 2026 is simply rushing by.
