Speculation surrounding the iPhone 18 Pro gained strength with recent information released. On September 1, 2026, a well-known informant on the Weibo platform announced the likely three new colors that will be presented for the model.
Apple is set to detail its new high-end iPhone models at an event scheduled for next week. This presentation will provide complete information about the launches.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models will be launched together with the iPhone Ultra. Several rumors have already raised many expectations about what consumers can expect.
Possible new colors and Apple’s strategy for the iPhone 18 Pro
Color options are often one of the last details defined by Apple. However, this year, the general consensus indicated the launch of a Dark Cherry/Burgundy shade, replacing Cosmic Orange, as well as a new Silver and Sky Blue.
However, there were mixed reports regarding the inclusion of a Black or Space Gray model in this lineup.
Tipster Fixed Focus Digital’s prediction on final colors
A new post from tipster Fixed Focus Digital, posted on Weibo, points to a slightly different color list, predicting:
- Dark Cherry/Burgundy
- Sky Blue
- black
The same leaker indicated that the Silver tone, “very likely”, will not be available, adding in a subsequent publication that he found no evidence of the existence of this model. If the list is correct, Apple would be replacing all of the colors on the iPhone 17 Pro with entirely new options on the iPhone 18 Pro.
The Sky Blue color has previously been used in products such as the iPhone Air and MacBook Air. In these cases, the blue tone is quite subtle, appearing more silvery under ordinary lighting. This suggests that Apple may be considering Sky Blue as a suitable alternative for consumers who traditionally prefer the Silver color.
Many users expressed dissatisfaction last year with the lack of a Black or Space Gray option on the iPhone 17 Pro. The expectation is that this leak will be confirmed and the Black color will return on the iPhone 18 Pro.
