• Four possible iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max shades have been leaked
• These include Light Blue, Dark Gray, Silver, and Dark Cherry
• Dark Cherry is the highlight, and online reactions seem very positive

Every year, Apple changes up the colors on its iPhones to some degree, and this year looks to be no exception, with the four iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max shades having seemingly been leaked, including a striking new color.

Macworld has received information “from a source familiar with Apple’s supply chain” about the colors that the iPhone 18 Pro models will be sold in, and apparently, they include Light Blue, Dark Gray, Silver, and Dark Cherry.

The last of those is said to lead the lineup as a replacement for the Cosmic Orange shade you can get the iPhone 17 Pro in, and you can see how this and the Dark Gray and Light Blue shades might look in the image below. The Silver option isn’t pictured, as that’s said to be similar to the current silver shade.

A stunning shade

Personally, I’m quite taken by both the Light Blue and the Dark Cherry, but the latter especially — in fact, if I wouldn’t be hiding the phone away in a case, that color could almost be enough to tempt me to upgrade on its own.

Reactions on Reddit are similarly positive, with posters saying things like “what a color”, “that dark cherry would absolutely be my top choice,” “that cherry is insane”, and “I want it now”.

That’s just a small selection of comments, but when it comes to Dark Cherry, they seem to be almost universally positive, so Apple could be on to a real winner here.

For reference, the iPhone 17 Pro series is sold in Silver, Deep Blue, and Cosmic Orange, and while that selection seems to generally be well-liked, it’s fair to say that Cosmic Orange was divisive, which doesn’t so far appear to be the case with Dark Cherry.

So, I really hope this leak is accurate, but we probably won’t know for sure until September, as that’s when the next iPhones are expected to launch.
