While the prospect of multiple new shades is exciting, the leaker has since clarified that Apple is likely to proceed with only *one* of these finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. This means that fans hoping for a range of fresh hues may need to temper their expectations.
Instant Digital has a history of providing accurate Apple leaks, having previously revealed details like the Yellow finish for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2's Titanium Milanese Loop. However, it's important to note that their track record isn't flawless, so this information should be taken with a grain of salt.
The current iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models are available in Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue. It remains to be seen whether Apple will decide to retain any of these colors for the next generation or opt for a completely new palette.
The possibility of a burgundy iPhone 18 Pro is particularly interesting. While Apple has offered (PRODUCT)RED versions of other devices, this would mark the first time a Pro or Pro Max model would be available in a shade of red, albeit a deeper and more sophisticated burgundy. A brown iPhone would also be a first for the company. A purple shade has been offered before, with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max available in Deep Purple.
With the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max not expected to launch until September 2026, Apple still has ample time to finalize its color decisions. This leaves plenty of room for further leaks, speculation, and ultimately, a reveal that could surprise or delight Apple enthusiasts. As always, it's best to remain cautiously optimistic until Apple officially unveils its plans.
