iPhone 18 Pro leak: Is 'Dark Cherry' the next killer color for Apple’s rumored iPhone 18 Pro? Leaked dummy models offer a sneak peek

Apple enthusiasts may have just gotten their clearest preview yet of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Newly shared dummy model images from leaker Sonny Dickson appear to reveal all four rumored colors for the next-generation devices, including a new deep-toned shade. While the devices shown are not final production units, the images line up closely with months of previous rumors surrounding the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, as per a report by MacRumors.

What colors are rumored for the iPhone 18 Pro?

According to images shared by Sonny Dickson, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could launch in four colors: Light Blue, Black, Silver, and the heavily rumored Dark Cherry finish. The leaked models are already drawing attention online, especially after reports suggested the muted red finish could become Apple’s next standout iPhone color.

The leak marks the first time these shades have appeared in physical form rather than concept renders or supply chain descriptions. Dickson noted that “Cherry will probably be the next hit, orange did very well,” referencing the popularity of the Cosmic Orange finish used on the iPhone 17 Pro lineup.

Reports about a deep red iPhone finish have circulated for months. Earlier in 2026, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple had been testing a dark red version of the iPhone 18 Pro models. At the time, the shade was described simply as a “deep red” finish, as per a report by Mac Rumors.

Later reports from Chinese leakers and Macworld added more detail, suggesting the final marketing name would likely be “Dark Cherry.”
