As the smartphone market continues to evolve, one trend remains constant: Android brands often look to Apple for inspiration. A recent rumor suggests that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro series may feature a striking deep red color option, and it appears that several Android manufacturers are eager to adopt a similar hue for their flagship devices.
According to the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the anticipated iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are likely to showcase this bold red finish. This has triggered a wave of interest among Android smartphone makers, who are reportedly testing variants of this striking color for their next-generation models.

Beyond flagship models, it seems that mid-range and budget smartphones could also adopt this eye-catching color option as brands seek to ride the wave of Apple's popularity.
Last year, with the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro series, Apple introduced a captivating Cosmic Orange finish, which was quickly mirrored by a host of Android competitors. The Oppo Find N6, for instance, debuted with a similar shade, paving the way for the upcoming Find X9 Ultra, which has also been confirmed to feature an orange variant.
The deep red finish is poised to be the standout color option for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, which is expected to make its grand entrance in September.
