bloomberg<\/em> It was reported in February that Apple was considering a new dark red color option for the iPhone 18 Pro, which some have described as dark red.<\/p>\n A leaker with a good track record is supporting this report today, although it’s doing it in a slightly strange way that may or may not make any sense…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gurman said in the original report that it’s unclear whether the new color will replace Cosmic Orange or be an additional option instead.<\/p>\n Given the success of orange, I wouldn’t be surprised if the company retains that option and adds red as an additional option. But both red and orange may be a little too close on the color wheel. We’ll see how it actually works, but I can at least tell you that, so far, red is the new dominant color in testing the next iPhone Pros.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Apple was previously rumored to be considering a purple color, but Gurman says this and the reported brown option are likely just variations of the red color.<\/p>\ndeep red iPhone 18 Pro report<\/h2>\n
