Anticipation is building as Apple's major September 9 event approaches, but a recent leak may have offered an early glimpse into the aesthetics of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models. A video circulating online purportedly showcases retail-style dummy units of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, revealing two distinct new color options.
Alleged iPhone 18 Pro Colors Surface
The short video, shared on the South Korean blogging platform Naver by tipster yeux1122, displays what appears to be an iPhone 18 Pro Max in a deep red or burgundy finish. Alongside it, an iPhone 18 Pro is shown in a lighter blue hue. Both devices are presented on display stands, suggesting they could be pre-production units intended for store displays.
While Apple has yet to confirm any details, these leaked finishes align with previous rumors and add to the growing speculation surrounding the company's next-generation Pro lineup. The dark red/burgundy shade on the Pro Max is believed to correspond to a previously rumored 'Dark Cherry' color, while the light blue on the Pro appears distinct from current blue offerings.
Comparing New Shades to Current Models
The leaked footage also includes a comparison shot, placing an iPhone 17 Pro Max in its existing dark blue finish next to the purported iPhone 18 Pro Max. This side-by-side view highlights the subtle yet noticeable difference, indicating a new iteration of Apple's color palette. The alleged light blue iPhone 18 Pro also seems to be a lighter variant than any blue currently available.
Earlier reports had hinted at 'Dark Cherry' and 'Sky Blue' as potential new colors for the Pro models. Furthermore, purported iPhone 18 Pro SIM trays have surfaced in colors like Silver, Dark Cherry, and Sky Blue. However, there remains some debate among leakers regarding a third color option, with some suggesting that Black might replace Silver in the new lineup.
As the official Apple event draws near, these leaks provide a compelling, albeit unconfirmed, preview for consumers eager to see what new design elements the iPhone 18 Pro series will introduce.
