The biggest difference, however, is Cosmic Orange, which marks the first time a &#8220;Pro&#8221; model iPhone is available in a bright, bold color.<\/p>\n<p>All indications are that Cosmic Orange will be a huge success for the iPhone 17 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>a report of <em>financial Times<\/em> It was said in February that the Cosmic Orange color is particularly popular in China, where buyers call the color &#8220;Herm\u00e8s Orange&#8221; instead of Apple&#8217;s official name.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does this mean for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max launching later this year?<\/p>\n<p>in February, <em>Bloomberg&#8217;s<\/em> Mark Gurman wrote that he &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t be surprised&#8221; if Apple kept Cosmic Orange around due to its popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Today, <span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">However, a report from <em>macworld<\/em><\/span>    Said to be a new &#8220;Dark Cherry&#8221; color that will replace Cosmic Orange in the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Although the Dark Cherry color won&#8217;t be as bright and eye-catching in person as the Cosmic Orange, it will still be unique enough to be distinguished from the new iPhone 18 Pro. As always, Apple is expected to discontinue its current lineup of colors including Cosmic Orange.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>according to <em>macworld<\/em>iPhone 18 Pro will be available in light blue, dark cherry, silver and dark brown.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9to5mac-s-take\">9to5Mac&#8217;s take<\/h2>\n<p>To me, it makes perfect sense for Apple to retire Cosmic Orange this year with the iPhone 18 Pro. I think Apple makes a lot of its iPhone color decisions based on fashion trends and the fashion industry.<\/p>\n<p>In the fashion world, colors come and go in cycles. What makes Cosmic Orange for the iPhone 17 Pro so special is that it is unique. If it persists for several generations, it will lose some of that charm. As the kids say, it might even be &#8220;stale.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Historically, Apple changes the &#8220;unique&#8221; color of a new phone every year when it is released. The iPhone 12 Pro was available in Pacific blue, the iPhone 13 Pro was available in Sierra blue and later Alpine green, and the iPhone 14 Pro was available in dark purple.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
