Leaker Sonny Dickson today shared images of dummy iPhone 18 Pro models in all four of the device’s rumored colors, offering the first real look at what to expect visually from the lineup.
Corroborating previous rumors, models show off the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max in light blue, black, silver, and dark cherry. Dickson said: “Cherry will probably be the next hit, orange has done very well.” Cosmic Orange was the signature color of the iPhone 17 Pro and proved popular with customers.
Dark Cherry is expected to serve as the new flagship color for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ models this year. The color has been in the rumor mill since at least February 2026, when Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman reported that Apple is testing a dark red finish for the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max. At the time, Gurman described the hue as a deep red, and a separate report from a Chinese leaker later suggested that the color was very likely to make a difference, in part because Android rivals were already prototyping the same hue.

The situation worsened in April, when Macmonde reported that the color would be called Dark Cherry and would be closer to wine than a brighter red and considerably more muted than Cosmic Orange. The leaker known as “Instant Digital” later corroborated this name, characterizing the shade as a combination of burgundy, coffee, and dark purple. “Instant Digital” has a good track record when it comes to Apple color leaks, having accurately predicted the yellow finish of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.
MacmondeThe report also identified the full range of four colors, with internal Pantone codes said to be used at Apple: Light Blue (Pantone 2121), described as resembling the Mist Blue of the current iPhone 17; Black Cherry (Pantone 6076); Dark gray (Pantone 426C); and Silver (Pantone 427C), said to be similar to the current generation.
The latest images are significant because they mark the first time the supposed colors have been depicted in physical, real-world form rather than in renderings or supply chain descriptions. That said, dummy models are typically made from low-quality plastic or metals and aren’t finished to the same standards as production units, meaning the tone and saturation of each color may vary from what Apple ultimately ships. With that caveat, the dummies are consistent with previous rumors, suggesting that this will likely be the final color scheme for the device.
The ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max are expected to be announced in the fall alongside the first foldable iPhone.
