Images shared by leaker Sonny Dickson show iPhone 18 Pro dummy models in four rumored colors, providing an early, real-world look at the lineup’s appearance. The dummies depict the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Light Blue, Black, Silver, and Dark Cherry. The reporting aligns with earlier rumors that Dark Cherry would be Apple’s new featured shade for the iPhone 18 Pro models this year, following speculation that Apple was testing a deep red finish. Macworld previously reported the name as “Dark Cherry,” describing it as closer to wine and more muted than the more vivid Cosmic Orange used on the iPhone 17 Pro. Dickson and additional color-leak coverage characterize Dark Cherry as a blend of burgundy, coffee, and deep purple. Both outlets say the color set matches prior expectations, and they note that dummy units are not finished to the same standard as production devices, meaning exact color tone and saturation could differ from what Apple ultimately ships. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to be announced in the fall.

2 months agoLeaker Sonny Dickson today shared images of iPhone 18 Pro dummy models in the device's four rumored colors, offering the first real-world look at what to expect from the lineup visually. Corroborating previous rumors, the dummies show the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Light Blue, Black, Silver, and Dark Cherry. Dickson said "Cherry will probably be the next hit, orange did very well." Cosmic Orange was the signature color of the iPhone 17 Pro and proved popular with customers. Dark Cherry is expected to serve as the headline new color for the iPhone 18 Pro models this year. The color has been in the rumor mill since at least February 2026, when Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple was testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. At the time, Gurman described the shade as a deep red, and separate reporting from a Chinese leaker later suggested the color was very likely to make the cut, partly because Android rivals were already prototyping the same shade. First look at iPhone 18 dummies in the new colors: Black, Silver, Dark Cherry and Light Blue.

The leaker known as "Instant Digital" subsequently corroborated that name, characterizing the shade as a combination of burgundy, coffee, and deep purple. "Instant Digital" has a good track record on Apple color leaks, having accurately predicted the yellow finish for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. Macworld's reporting also identified the full four-color lineup, with internal Pantone codes said to be in use at Apple: Light Blue (Pantone 2121), described as resembling the current iPhone 17's Mist Blue; Dark Cherry (Pantone 6076); Dark Gray (Pantone 426C); and Silver (Pantone 427C), said to be similar to the current generation. The latest images are significant because they mark the first time the rumored colors have been depicted in physical, real-world form rather than renders or supply chain descriptions. That said, dummy models are typically made from plastic or low-quality metals and are not finished to the same standard as production units, meaning the tone and saturation of each color could vary from what Apple ultimately ships. With that caveat, the dummies are consistent with the earlier rumors, suggesting that this will indeed likely be the final color palette of the device. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to be announced in the fall alongside the first foldable iPhone.Related Roundup: iPhone 18 ProTag: Sonny DicksonThis article, "First Look at iPhone 18 Pro Color Options Revealed by Dummy Models" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
