- Macworld’s exclusive report on iPhone 18 Pro colors receives confirmation through leaked dummy models showing Dark Cherry, light blue, dark gray, and silver options.
- The Dark Cherry appears purplish while the light blue resembles iPhone 13 Pro’s Sierra Blue, though Apple may drop one color before the September launch.

About a month ago, Macworld published an exclusive report detailing the upcoming color palette for the iPhone 18 Pro. As our source confirmed, Apple was planning to offer a new array of options this year, with a purplish “Dark Cherry” leading the pack and possibly four options joining the lineup, including light blue, dark gray, and silver.
Now, courtesy of Sonny Dickson on X, we have our first look at iPhone 18 Pro dummy models, and lo and behold, they are in the same four colors. As you can see in the images he supplied, the colors match perfectly with the Pantone codes we were supplied and almost certainly confirm that Apple will offer these options in the fall.

As we described, the Dark Cherry color is closer to purple than red, while light blue is reminiscent of Sierra Blue on the iPhone 13 Pro. Dark gray, meanwhile, appears to be very close to Black Titanium seen on the iPhone 16 Pro. Finally, the standard silver color appears to be very similar to the iPhone 17 Pro. It’s worth noting that Apple seemingly dropped a fourth color option from last year’s lineup later in the production cycle, so it’s possible that one of these four options doesn’t appear on shelves.
Of note, the images Dickson supplies have the same design as the iPhone 17 Pro with some subtle improvements. Most notably, the rectangular glass below the camera more closely matches the color of the aluminum surrounding it. And it appears to be a little higher than it is on the 17 Pro.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro at an event in September alongside the iPhone Ultra, Apple’s first folding phone.
