iPhone 18 Pro Color Leaks Conflict Over Dark Cherry, Silver
Apple is expected to show its next Pro iPhones on September 9.
People are trying to guess which colors the phones will have.
One leak says the choices will be Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, and Black.
Another report says Silver may also be available, making four colors.
A video of pretend display phones reportedly showed dark cherry, blue, silver, and black models.
These display phones may not represent the final products.
The Dark Cherry color is expected to replace Cosmic Orange.
Cosmic Orange was the special color of the iPhone 17 Pro models.
Apple has not confirmed the final colors yet.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max on September 9, 2026.
One leak lists Dark Cherry or Burgundy, Sky Blue, and Black as the new Pro colors.
Another report expects four colors: Dark Cherry, Light Blue, Dark Gray, and Silver.
Alleged dummy units have shown dark cherry, blue, silver, and black versions, adding to the uncertainty.
Cosmic Orange is expected to be retired after the launch, though some retail stock may remain temporarily.
