Apple is set to unveil its iPhone 16 series at the highly anticipated "It's Glowtime" event on September 9 at 10:30 PM IST. As the event draws near, rumors surrounding the pricing, features, and color options of the new iPhone models have surfaced online.
One of the standout rumors suggests that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will feature a new white color option, replacing the yellow variant seen in previous models. Along with this change, Apple is expected to make the colors of these models more saturated, moving away from the lighter, pastel shades used for the iPhone 15. This could result in bolder and richer color options for the base models.
For the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, there is speculation about the introduction of a new "Desert Titanium" color, which is described as a bronze shade. Earlier rumors suggested this color might resemble gold or rose gold, but more recent leaks indicate that it will be closer to bronze or brown. The introduction of this new color may also mean that Apple will discontinue the Blue Titanium option that was part of the iPhone 15 Pro lineup.
For the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, current color offerings include Blue, Yellow, Pink, Green, and Black. However, the iPhone 16 series is expected to drop Yellow and introduce a new White option, while keeping Blue, Pink, Black, and Green.
When it comes to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models, Apple is maintaining some of the familiar titanium finishes from the iPhone 15 lineup, including Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. However, there is excitement around a new color option—Desert Titanium, also referred to as Bronze, which is expected to be exclusive to the Pro models. The iPhone 16 Pro Max will follow a similar pattern, with the same set of color choices, including the much-anticipated Desert Titanium/Bronze option.
These rumors gained further traction when tipster Sonny Dickson shared images of alleged iPhone 16 dummy units on social media platform X. The photos showcased the rumored new colors, further fueling speculation about Apple's upcoming offerings.
While these details are still unconfirmed, the official colors of the iPhone 16 models will be revealed at the event. If the rumors hold true, Apple fans can expect a fresh and vibrant color palette across the iPhone 16 lineup, with a more saturated aesthetic for the base models and a striking new bronze option for the Pro versions.
