Tipster claims Apple is testing “Coffee,” “Purple,” and “Wine Red” colour options for the iPhone 18 Pro series.
The company may drop the classic black variant for the second consecutive year.
iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to launch around September 2026 with more design details surfacing in the coming months.
Apple has already made headlines for introducing its iPhone 17 Pro series with new design and new colours. Thanks to the colour options like Cosmic Orange, the company has reportedly witnessed record demand in key markets including India. Now, the company seems to be planning to refresh the colour palette for its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup. This comes after a Chinese tipster predicted that the company may introduce three new colours.
SurveyAccording to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Apple may introduce three new colour options including the brown, purple, and burgundy for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series. However, he stated that the colour names may differ slightly depending on the translation with terms like Coffee, Wine Red, and Burgundy being used across various translation platforms.
The report also suggests that Apple may skip a true black colour variant, a decision that could disappoint users who prefer darker or classic tones. It must be noted that these are all early leaks. We are still almost a year away from the iPhone 18 series launch and there are chances that Apple may not offer these colour options.
Currently, Apple offers Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver colour options with the iPhone 17 Pro variants, which is still a bold shift from the traditional palette Apple offered in the past. The Deep Blue is currently looked as the Black alternative while the Cosmic Orange has been in the headlines for its swanky appearance.
While details about the iPhone 18 Pro remain limited for now, the next-generation flagship is expected to arrive around September 2026, following Apple’s usual launch cycle. More information about its design and features should start surfacing as the development moves closer to mass production.
