dailyloe.com – Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models are rumored to feature a new signature color called ‘Dark Cherry’ for their 2026 release. This information comes from a source familiar with Apple’s supply chain, as reported by Macworld. The new color is described as a deep wine-red shade. It is expected to replace the vibrant Cosmic Orange color from the iPhone 17 Pro.
The iPhone 18 lineup will reportedly include the Pro and Pro Max models. It will also include a revolutionary new foldable iPhone, now rumored to be called the iPhone Ultra. The foldable iPhone Ultra is said to be 4.7mm thick when unfolded. It is described as resembling an iPad mini in form.
Design refinements for the new models include a smaller Dynamic Island. This change aims to increase usable screen space for users. Another refinement involves reduced gaps between the camera glass and the camera bump. This should create a more seamless and integrated appearance for the device.
The ‘Dark Cherry’ color is the headline new option for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. While other leakers had suggested a ‘Dark Red’ color, this specific hue is closer to wine. It will not be as bright and striking as the previous Cosmic Orange color in person. However, it will still be unique enough to distinguish the new iPhone 18 Pro models.
Apple is expected to discontinue the current lineup of colors, including Cosmic Orange. The company is also reportedly experimenting with two other new color options for the Pro lineup. One of them is a Light Blue, resembling the current Mist Blue color of the base iPhone 17. The other color in development is a dark shade of gray.
Finally, the source also reports on the existence of a silver variant for the iPhone 18 Pro. This variant would be similar to the current generation’s silver option. These color details provide an early look at Apple’s plans for its 2026 smartphone refresh. The official unveiling of the new iPhones is expected in just a couple of months.
