iPhone 18 Pro Colors Leak Reveals Potential Apple Design Shifts for Flagship Lineup
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup may arrive in a trio of color options—Silver, Dark Cherry, and Sky Blue—according to an image of SIM card trays shared by longtime leaker Sonny Dickson. The leak points to a potential continuation of Apple’s recent strategy to move away from traditional black finishes for its highest-end devices.
Contrasting Leak Reports Point Away From Traditional Black Finishes
The debate over a black variant follows a notable design shift by Apple during the previous product cycle. Last year marked the first time the company’s flagship high-end iPhones were sold without any black or dark gray color option. Industry watchers are now tracking whether Apple will cement that absence with the upcoming generation.
In April, Chinese leaker Instant Digital reported that a black colorway would not be part of the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Around the same time, Macworld published a report projecting that Apple would offer Light Blue, Dark Cherry, Dark Gray, and Silver finishes.
Comparative Breakdown of Reported Pro Colors

- Chinese Leaker Report (via MacRumors): Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, Black
- Macworld Projections: Light Blue, Dark Cherry, Dark Gray, Silver
