With hardware getting minimal upgrades (if that), the colour of new smartphones is of great importance these days and this is amplified for the iPhone.
The iPhone 17 Pro is a prime example where its Cosmic Orange option has been copied by countless Android rivals and even sparked a wave of orange shades in other areas, including wearables.
Now, all eyes are on the upcoming iPhone 18 range and following our sister site exclusively revealing the colourway line-up for the 2026 handsets, a leaker has now said the Pro models will only come in three hues.
This is despite dummy handsets of the iPhone 18 Pro showing all four predicted colours in the flesh. According to Instant Digital, the phone will only come in the following:
- Dark Cherry
- Light Blue
- Silver-Gray

It means the likely hero, Dark Cherry, remains but the Dark Gray (almost black) looking model has been dropped. Silver has also changed to Silver Gray.
They were only ever ‘in development’ at the time of that exclusive reveal, so none were set in stone and the iPhone 17 Pro also launched in three colourway options, so whittling it down again this year makes sense.
There’s not too much longer to wait, with the iPhone 18 launch event set to take place in a couple of months. In fact, 8 September has been leaked as the specific date and this could also see the iPhone Ultra launch as Apple’s first foldable phone.
