iPhone 18 Pro Ditches Black Color Option, Insider Reveals
An industry leaker says Apple’s next flagship may skip a long-standing shade. The China-based account Instant Digital posted on Weibo that the iPhone 18 Pro will not offer a black color option. The device is expected to debut in September.

Past correct details include the 2023 yellow iPhone 14 release. The same account also flagged frosted back glass on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
Color history and testing at Apple
Black tones have long been part of Apple’s flagship palette dating to the first iPhone in 2007. The iPhone 17 Pro did not include black when it launched last year.
Apple has used variations such as space gray, graphite, space black, and black titanium. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has said Apple is testing deep red as a flagship hue.
How Apple chooses colors
Apple’s iPhone marketing executives say color selection involves design and material considerations. The team evaluates how finishes accept pigment and what the lineup should express that year.
