iPhone 18 Pro lineup may arrive in dark cherry, black, blue
Earlier, a purported hands-on video of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max has surfaced online, offering a glimpse of the new colour options ahead of the expected launch.
According to a report by GSMArena, the leaked footage reportedly shows an iPhone 18 Pro Max in dark cherry and an iPhone 18 Pro in blue.
Recent leaks suggest that the iPhone 18 Pro lineup could be introduced in dark cherry, black and sky blue colour options. Dark cherry, also referred to as burgundy in some reports, is expected to be the standout or “hero” colour of this year’s Pro lineup.
In terms of design, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are not expected to feature major changes compared with the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, the new colour options could provide a noticeable visual distinction.
Reports also point to significant camera and hardware upgrades, including new main rear cameras with variable aperture, an A20 Pro chipset, a new modem and slightly larger batteries in both Pro models.
Apple is also expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at its upcoming launch event.
