Apple Said to Test Deep Red iPhone 18 Pro as Production Trial Starts

The test follows strong demand for the iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange, especially in China.

Overview

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is evaluating a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, which would be the first red Pro models if it ships.
  • Apple may keep Cosmic Orange due to its popularity, but final color selections are still under review and could change before launch.
  • Earlier rumors of purple and brown are likely variants of the same red concept, according to the reporting.
  • Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to launch in restrained hues such as dark gray or black and white or silver rather than bright colors.
  • A Weibo tipster says the iPhone 18 Pro has entered test production with no major material changes, as Apple targets a September 2026 Pro debut that could precede the standard models.
