The excitement surrounding the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max continues to build as leaks hint at new color options. Among them, a potential new hue dubbed 'Dark Cherry' has caught the attention of avid Apple fans. However, a recent leak also unveils some disappointing news regarding the absence of a traditional black variant.
Leaked SIM Tray Photo Suggests Dark Cherry Color
A low-quality image of the iPhone 18 Pro SIM tray has emerged, reportedly showcasing the new Dark Cherry color. The source of this leak is renowned Weibo leaker Instant Digital, who claims the image indicates what the Dark Cherry version might look like.
Black Variant Status Uncertain
While fans eagerly await the iPhone 18 Pro, rumors suggest there will not be a black version available. Instead, the lineup is expected to feature light blue and silver gray as additional color choices. By this reasoning, the Dark Cherry could serve as the closest alternative to a black model. Responding to inquiries about a black variant, Instant Digital confirmed that only three colors are anticipated for the iPhone 18 Pro.
Launch Timing and Additional Developments
The iPhone 18 Pro is set to debut in early September, alongside Apple's highly anticipated iPhone Ultra model. Meanwhile, whispers about Apple's first foldable iPhone suggest it may be released in only two colors. Coincidentally, competitor Samsung is also gearing up for the launch of its Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8, expected to deliver four color options each, furthering the trend for innovative devices in fresh shades.
Hoping for a Black Option
As Apple reimagines its iconic devices, fans are left hoping for a classic black option to make a return. Until then, the Dark Cherry color may just have to fill that void.
