iPhone 16 colors: leaks suggest Apple will add two new colors

Apple could add two new colors to the iPhone 16 lineup this year

• 🆕 Apple is expected to launch seven iPhone 16 colors in September

• 🎨 New rumors suggest we could see white and purple iPhone 16 colors

• 🤍 Apple last released a white standard iPhone with the iPhone 14

• 📸 A new image leak has revealed five colors: white, black, blue, green and pink

We’re two months away from seeing Apple announce the new iPhone 16 colors, and of course, there are leaks about which vibrant hues will debut in September. In total, expect seven colors among the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro series.

The number of iPhone 16 colors stands in contrast with the five iPhone 15 colors we got almost a year ago. Hopefully, Apple is also considering expanding the range of iPhone 16 Pro colors, as it only offered four options for its titanium models. It would bring Apple’s phone more in line with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra colors, which offers seven titanium options.

New iPhone 16 colors planned

All the new iPhone 16 colors may have potentially been revealed ahead of Apple’s official reveal in September. Sonny Dickson (thanks, GSM Arena) shared an image of the iPhone 16 in five color options: white, black, blue, green and pink. The photo also confirms the phone’s new vertical camera alignment.

It also all but confirms what trusted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously said, as they predicted a white iPhone 16 color may replace the typical yellow color option.

The last time Apple included a white colorway was with the iPhone 14, as last year’s models skipped the hue even though it’s synonymous with the Apple brand. You had to purchase an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max if you wanted a white option in titanium.

There’s also a rumor that the iPhone 16 colors will include purple, according to Weibo, but that hasn’t been shared in this leak. The purple option could be popular, as Apple previously sold a Deep Purple iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max but dropped it for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

Purple has been a long-running color choice in Samsung’s Galaxy Ultra models, although it calls the hue “Titanium Violet”. It’s also the color of choice for the striking OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition, which is aimed at fans of the game.

Of course, Weibo isn’t exactly the most reliable source, expanding the range of iPhone 16 colors can only be seen as a good thing. Apple’s WWDC 2024 event just passed, and we learned a lot about the company’s iOS 18 Ai features, it was mum about new hardware details for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro series. But The Shortcut will have news updates regarding the new handset in the weeks to come as more leaks about the iPhone 16 colors and specs begin to emerge.
