New Leak Revives Deep Red Rumor for iPhone 18 Pro

A Weibo tipster points to Android prototypes as a clue, keeping the color unconfirmed ahead of Apple’s expected September reveal.

Overview

  • Digital Chat Station, a well-known Weibo leaker, said Monday that the iPhone 18 Pro has a high chance of coming in a deep crimson, citing similar shades seen in Android flagship prototypes.
  • Bloomberg first reported in February that Apple was testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, with other talked-about hues like purple or brown likely being variations of the same shade.
  • Another leaker, Instant Digital, claims Apple may skip a black option for the Pro models again this year, though this detail remains unverified.
  • Reporters urge caution because the latest support for red relies on second-hand supply chain signals and trend forecasting, and Apple can change color plans before the September launch.
  • If Apple does ship a deep red Pro, it would be the first red finish for a Pro iPhone, extending a recent push toward bolder colors after last year’s Cosmic Orange and reflecting trends that rivals often follow.
