iPhone 16 colors: All rumored shades for upcoming iPhones

Each phone in the iPhone 16 lineup could bring new color options. We’ve gathered every rumored shade for the upcoming iPhones.

Colors play a big part when deciding which iPhone to buy. The Pro and non-Pro models bring different color options, and if you have seen last year’s Pro iPhones, you must have noticed a rather dull color scheme. That might change with the iPhone 16 Pro phones.

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are also rumored to bring vibrant color options. Apple hasn’t confirmed any of these shades yet, and it won’t before the September launch. However, these rumors should still give you a good idea of what colors to expect from the iPhone 16 series.

A leak from tipster Sonny Dickson suggests that Apple is opting for less muted, less desaturated colors for the standard iPhone 16 models this year. An image shared by Dickson showcases the iPhone 16 in white, black, blue, green, and pink.

The Plus model will most likely share these colors. TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo corroborated these colors in a post on X. For reference, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus come in five color options — traditional black, alongside blue, pink, yellow, and green.

Color choices are subjective, so we won’t comment on which one you should get. Black and white have always been popular colors among iPhone users. Also, if you don’t like the available options, you can always get a skin or case from Dbrand or other manufacturers.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are expected to offer the same color options as the iPhone 15 Pro models, with one exception. Apple may replace the Blue Titanium with a new Rose Titanium color option. Ming-Chi Kuo made a similar claim in May 2024.

Leaker Sony Dickson has unveiled three color options for the iPhone 16 Pro, including a new, significantly darker shade of black compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. The Rose Titanium option is absent from the images, suggesting Apple hasn’t finalized the color yet.

Even those in the know aren’t entirely sure about it. A leaker from China claimed Rose Titanium might actually be a bronze color. Given that the iPhone 15 series dropped the gold finish for the first time since the iPhone XS in 2018, it’s possible the final color will lean more towards bronze or gold.

When will the iPhone 16 be available?

Apple has confirmed it’s hosting a new event on September 9 called “It’s Glowtime.” Since most previous iPhone lineups have debuted in September, it’s safe to assume the new iPhone 16 will also be announced around the same time.

The company hasn’t announced the sale date yet, but Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has claimed that the new iPhones will go on sale on September 20.
