After surprising fans with the bold Cosmic Orange hue on the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple seems poised to continue redefining the aesthetic of its premium lineup. According to Tom’s Guide, the trend of exclusive, signature colors will dominate the iPhone 18 Pro, slated for release in 2026.
Renowned leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS) recently shared on Weibo that the iPhone 18 Pro will introduce three entirely new color options: Brown, Purple, and Burgundy. Some translations from Chinese suggest two of these shades may be dubbed Coffee Brown and Wine Red—rich, warm tones that exude sophistication while blending classic elegance with modern appeal.

This leak quickly captured global tech enthusiasts’ attention, given DCS’s track record for accurate smartphone predictions. However, it’s worth noting that the iPhone 17 Pro launched just months ago, leaving ample time for Apple to pivot its color strategy before September 2026.
What makes this rumor stand out is the potential absence of a black variant for the iPhone 18 Pro. This would mark the second consecutive year Apple omits black or Space Gray from its Pro lineup, following the iPhone 17 Pro’s exclusive Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver options. The shift signals Apple’s deliberate move away from traditional black hues toward a bolder, more distinctive color language that redefines the brand’s identity.
Historically, Apple favored safe tones like gray, silver, and black to emphasize minimalism. Now, the brand embraces personality-driven shades that merge fashion-forward thinking with tech innovation. Cosmic Orange exemplifies this evolution: bold yet refined, it embodies freedom and individuality—a nod to Apple’s “Think Different” ethos.
If Coffee Brown or Wine Red materialize, they could reflect Apple’s pivot toward timeless luxury, aligning with high-fashion’s resurgence of earthy, sustainable tones. These hues not only elevate visual premiumness but also evoke deeper emotional connections, appealing to elite users who view iPhones as both tech tools and style statements.
While confirmation remains distant, these rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro could redefine luxury in the tech era. Beyond spec wars, Apple appears to be transforming each iPhone into a style manifesto—where technology intersects fashion, and color becomes the language of emotion.

While it may not happen in the near future, Apple is steadily working towards this goal. One day, a fully “made by Apple, made in USA” iPhone could become a reality rather than a distant dream.
