Apple has at least three colors for the iPhone 18 Pro in development, including silver and dark gray options, according to a Macworld report. The company is also testing a dark red and a light blue version of its upcoming device.
Earlier reports claimed that the hero color for the iPhone 18 Pro will be a deep red, but the latest leak specifically mentions a “Dark Cherry” color. While that shade won’t be as bright and attention-grabbing as the Cosmic Orange, it is expected to look as unique as last year’s hero color.

Another interesting color is the so-called Light Blue. Said to be similar to the current Mist Blue color of the vanilla iPhone 17, this one could also be a throwback to the iPhone 13 Pro.
Besides those brighter options, Apple is probably going to launch the iPhone 18 Pro in a Dark Gray variant. The company is reportedly testing a Silver option, which looks similar to the current generation, but that’s unlikely to be released.
While bright phones existed before the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple made them more popular for flagship devices. Before the current generation, such colors were used only on base iPhones and generally on more affordable devices.
After the success of the Cosmic Orange iPhone, several companies announced their own orange devices. One of those is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, which has its own design, while others, such as the Honor 600, appear inspired by more than just the color.
After years of mostly black and white flagship phones, I’m happy to see how many companies are launching their devices in bright colors. It’s still nice that Apple sticks to some more classic options, though. Ultimately, having the choice is what matters the most.
