iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Will Not Have Black Color This Year

Leaks Reveal Color Changes for iPhone 18 Pro

Recent leaks indicate that Apple will abandon its usual tradition of launching the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in black this year.

Instead, the company is expected to introduce new colors such as dark red, along with some traditional colors.

Source of the Leaks and Their Credibility

According to information published by the leaker "Instant Digital" on the Chinese platform Weibo, the new versions of the flagship phones will not be available in black.

The leaker is known for an extremely accurate track record, having previously revealed the launch of the yellow iPhone 14 in 2023, and the matte back glass for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

Alternative Colors Under Experimentation

Bloomberg had previously reported that Apple is testing a dark red color for the iPhone 18 Pro, along with some traditional colors.

Some leaks also suggested that the company might consider purple and brown, but these colors may just be shades of the red itself.

User Reactions

These leaks have sparked dissatisfaction among some Reddit users, who expressed their displeasure at the possibility of the black color not being available for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Expected Launch Date

Apple is expected to launch the new models in September 2026, while the first foldable iPhone will arrive later that same year.
