Igeekphone reported on May 30th that source @SonnyDickson posted a tweet on the X platform yesterday (May 29th), sharing a set of prototype photos that showcased four color options for the Apple iPhone 18, including black, silver, cherry red, and light blue.
The source of the information stated that after the Apple iPhone 17 series featured the “Starry Sky Orange” color, the main color for the Apple iPhone 18 series would be “Cherry” color. In the Pantone color system, this color is numbered 6076 and it is a very soft shade, similar to a wine red.
According to previous reports, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro series will replace the “Starry Sky Orange” color of the iPhone 17 Pro series, and the main color has been named “Dark Cherry”.
Apart from cherry red, it is reported that Apple is also testing light blue, dark gray and silver versions for the iPhone 18 Pro series. Among them, the light blue is described as being more similar to the misty blue of iPhone 17, being a low-saturation, gray-toned elegant color.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman once disclosed that Apple is testing a brand-new “deep red” color for the iPhone 18 Pro series. This is due to the aluminum monolithic body introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro series, which provides a more flexible coloring space. If the deep red color is eventually selected, this will be Apple’s release of a red series iPhone since the iPhone 14 in 2022, and it will also be the first time that red appears on a “Pro” model.
In terms of hardware design, the iPhone 18 Pro series will be refined based on the existing form factor. The new model will adopt a smaller Dynamic Island design, which is expected to reduce the gap between the rear camera glass and the module protrusion, minimize the color difference between the glass and the metal frame, and enhance the overall sense of the rear of the device.
In terms of the camera setup, it is reported that the back camera arrangement of the iPhone 18 Pro series remains largely the same, but to accommodate the 48MP variable aperture, the rear camera module area may be slightly thickened.
