Rumor has it, folks: the iPhone 18 Pro, expected next year, might be strutting onto the scene in three bold new colours—Coffe Brown, Purple, and Wine Red/Burgundy. After the record-breaking frenzy over this year’s Cosmic Orange, it seems Apple has realized that the market is going wild for unconventional, eye-catching hues. And even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of the orange (no hate/judgement for anyone who was), this new lineup is quite eye-catching or should I say iCatching?
Rumors are swirling that Apple might skip the Black Pro model in the iPhone 18 lineup as well – a move that ruffled feathers this year and will likely do the same again if they actually go through with it. And honestly, I can’t blame those users. Bright or bold colours may trend and fade, but black? Black is timeless. Classic. Sacrosanct. And Apple daring to leave it out? It is a crime against colour laws. I mean, who does that? It’s BLACK.
That said, the rumoured palette is actually quite pretty, if I may say so myself. The colours seem like they are about standing out rather than blending in, and in a world of sameness, that’s kind of refreshing—especially for those who love making a statement with their gadgets.
Of course, it is advisable to take this information with a generous pinch of salt, as it has only been heard through the grapevine, with no official confirmation.
The iPhone 18 Pro isn’t hitting the shelves tomorrow—there’s plenty of time for plans to change, for new ideas to emerge, or even for Apple to sneak in a black variant at the last minute. Until then, we can enjoy speculating, drooling over renders, and imagining our future iPhones in shades we never thought we’d see.
