Emerging from discussions on Weibo and insights shared by ShrimpApplePro on X, Apple seems poised to refresh the colour scheme for its forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models.
The talk of the rumour mill suggests an interesting twist in the lineup: the introduction of rose titanium, potentially replacing the existing blue titanium variant.
The transition to matte titanium finishes in the iPhone 15 Pro series marked a departure from the glossy stainless steel of previous models, offering a sleek, premium feel with colours like black, white, natural, and a deeper shade of blue.
Notably, this was the first lineup since the iPhone XS in 2018 to forgo a gold option.
The speculated rose titanium could be Apple’s nod to gold enthusiasts.
Additionally, modifications to the black and white titanium models are hinted at.
The black variant might take cues from the iPhone 14 Pro’s space black, reminiscent of the space black titanium Apple Watch Edition.
Meanwhile, the white model may draw inspiration from the iPhone 14 Pro, featuring a bright white glass back rather than the traditional off-white.

There’s also buzz around a potential update to the natural titanium, possibly moving towards a different shade of grey, unofficially dubbed titan grey.
These speculative colour changes build on earlier rumours and mockups, driven by descriptions rather than physical colour samples.
This follows in the footsteps of last year’s accurate leak regarding the deep purple iPhone 14 Pro.
In a separate but equally exciting development, an early case leak has unveiled a cutout for a so-called Capture button.
Positioned on the lower right side of the iPhone 16 Pro, this feature aims to provide instant access to camera functionalities, placing them within easier reach compared to the current Action button.
