After years of dull colors, Apple has introduced a vibrant color option for the iPhone 17 Pro with Cosmic Orange. The company might continue this trend with even more unique shades.
New, Warm Colors for the iPhone 18 Pro
The well-known leaker Instant Digital has released new information about the iPhone 18 Pro on the Chinese blog platform Weibo. According to the post, the flagship smartphone is expected to be available next year in three completely new colors: Coffee, Purple, and Burgundy.
Traditionally, the Pro models come in very subdued tones: white, black, silver, pale blue, and gold or dark purple. Colorful variants have been reserved for the standard model. Apple broke this formula with the iPhone 17 series. The iPhone 17 Pro, in particular, stands out with its Cosmic Orange. However, this version may experience chipping of the colored aluminum layer at the edges. Users also occasionally report a color change from orange to pink.

No More Black Version?
Customers who use a Pro iPhone as a professional tool and therefore seek a “business”-compatible color might be left empty-handed in the future. According to Instant Digital, the black color option is expected to be discontinued.
The iPhone 17 Pro was already released without a gray variant. Apple seems determined to highlight its Pro models with elegant, distinctive colors. This approach is likely to appeal to customers seeking a more luxurious, warmer look.
Colors Not Yet Finalized
As with early rumors, Apple’s plans could still change before the market launch. However, with the iPhone 17 Pro, the company has already laid the groundwork for a realignment of the Pro models. Sales forecasts show that they are by far the most popular compared to the standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air. The focus is likely to be deliberately on the more expensive models in the future.
