Apple is expected to launch iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max with a new Dark Cherry color (Pantone 6076), replacing Cosmic Orange. The shade appears as a deep red-purple blend, alongside Silver, Dark Gray, and Light Blue options. Dummy models confirm a four-color lineup, with a more unified back-glass and frame design.

The foldable iPhone Ultra will likely offer only white/silver and possibly a dark blue/indigo option, reflecting its premium $2,000+ price. Leakers including Macworld and Instant Digital have provided conflicting details, but recent camera accessory leaks suggest two colors.

Color accuracy from dummy models varies; past launches like iPhone 17 Pro's Cosmic Orange and iPhone 16 Pro's desert titanium appeared different in final products. The standard iPhone 18 is delayed until spring 2027, with colors unknown.

Launch event expected the week of September 9, with pre-orders starting that week and release on September 18.
