Insiders reveal the real color of the iPhone 18 Pro: dark cherry turns out to be deep burgundy

Fresh leaks have surfaced online showcasing the color of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro. According to insiders, the flagship’s dark cherry shade has turned out to be significantly darker than early concepts and closer to a deep burgundy.

Initial leaks pointed to a brighter cherry finish, but new materials demonstrate a restrained and sophisticated tone. The back panel of the smartphone features a matte dark burgundy finish that changes saturation depending on the lighting.

Apple traditionally uses deeper and more muted shades for its Pro series devices compared to standard models. At this stage, the insider information reflects one of the chassis anodization options currently being tested, so the final shade may undergo minor adjustments by the time of the official announcement.
