This year’s iPhone 17 Series has been making headlines for its colour choices. And it appears Apple is not done with surprising its fans when it comes to the colours of iPhones. Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup reportedly may arrive in a palette of rich, warm, never-seen-in-iPhones colour tones. Here’s what we know so far.
iPhone 18 Pro Possible Colour Options
According to a recent leak, the next-generation Pro models are expected to debut in Coffee, Burgundy, and Purple colour options, marking a shift toward deeper and more luxurious shades.
The leak comes from the Weibo tipster named Momentary Digital, who claims that Apple is experimenting with these three all-new finishes for the iPhone 18 Pro series.

Each of the rumoured hues appears to carry a distinct personality. “Coffee” suggests a rich brown finish that could serve as a modern replacement for the long-discontinued Gold or the “Desert Titanium” colour seen in earlier reports. “Burgundy” is expected to blend red and brown undertones for a sophisticated, wine-inspired aesthetic, while “Purple” might take on a muted, warmer tone compared to the brighter lavender seen on older iPhone models.
Apple has previously released purple shades with models like the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 14 series. However, Coffee and Burgundy would be entirely new additions to the iPhone lineup. The Coffee variant could particularly appeal to those who miss the elegant Gold finish from the iPhone XS era or the Desert Titanium tone from recent Pro models.
No Black Variant
Despite these new colour options, the leak suggests a continued omission that may disappoint some users. Yes, we are referring to the absence of a true black or Space Grey variant.
Apple seems to be leaning toward warmer and more distinctive colour palettes for its Pro lineup, likely to maintain a sense of premium exclusivity. The same approach was evident with the iPhone 17 Pro, which also skipped darker tones in favour of more vibrant finishes.
As with all early leaks, these colour details are not final and could change before the launch. Apple is reportedly still testing prototypes in multiple finishes.
However, the tip indicates that the company is prioritising unique, attention-grabbing shades for its 2025 flagship phones.
The iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to be unveiled in the fall of next year. It’s rumoured to feature Apple’s next-gen A20 chip built on TSMC’s 2nm process, a variable aperture main camera, the C2 modem, and a refined Camera Control system, among other upgrades.
