Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to introduce new color options, including a dark cherry color, and today we may have gotten another glimpse of the rumored finish, courtesy of the Chinese leaker known as Ice Universe.

In an image posted to Weibo, a SIM tray purportedly from an unreleased iPhone is shown in a dark cherry color, which could also be described in this grainy example as burgundy, brownish, or purple.
Several rumors suggest that Apple is testing a dark reddish finish for the iPhone 18 Pro models, and the color is expected to be the special color that Apple will prominently release in 2026, as it did for the iPhone 17 Pro Cosmic Orange.
Two other colors Apple would consider are light blue and dark gray. Apple may also offer the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in silver. Macmonde has already claimed to have identified the Pantone colors for all four finishes.
All four colors were also spotted in the first leaked iPhone 18 Pro dummy models, offering another look at the shades Apple is likely to use.
Notably, in the same Weibo thread where the SIM tray image was posted, Ice Universe responded to another user asking if the iPhone 18 Pro would be available in black. The fugitive simply replied: “No”. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that there won’t be a black iPhone 18 Pro model this year.
Apple’s next-generation high-end devices are expected to be revealed in September alongside Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which could have its own set of more muted color finishes, with silver, white and indigo rumored so far, with other rumors suggesting it will be available in two colors or perhaps even just one.
