Fresh leaks reveal color options

Leaked SIM card trays point to three distinct finishes for Apple's upcoming flagship phone models.

“Sonny Dickson has shared an image of differently colored SIM card trays that he claims are for Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models...”

Three primary shades expected

The leaked hardware components highlight Silver, Dark Cherry, and Sky Blue as the primary colors for the upcoming Pro lineup.

Black stays off the palette

Apple skipped classic black on its high-end phones last year, and new components indicate that trend will continue.

“Last year was the first time Apple's high-end iPhones have not been available with a black or dark gray color option...”

Black prototypes rarely reach production

Early dummy units featured a black option, but leakers note Apple routinely builds black test models that never launch.

“...black dummies are made every year, but it's not a color Apple prefers to use anymore.”

Building on last year's palette

The proposed lineup replaces the previous generation's Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue while retaining a refined Silver option.

SIM trays provide physical proof

While North American models rely solely on eSIM, physical SIM trays sold in Europe, Japan, and China offer early evidence of hardware colors.

Foldables join the announcement

The new flagship colors will share the stage with Apple's long-rumored first foldable device, expected to be called the iPhone Ultra.

Official reveal arrives next week

Apple will unveil the final color options, hardware changes, and new devices at its annual September event.
