In summary:
- Tech Advisor reveals that iPhone 18 Pro dummy models showcase new color choices, with Dark Cherry standing out as the prominent colorway, showcasing a brighter pink hue than previous renderings.
- The leaked models also display Light Blue, Black, and Silver options for the Pro Max, with new colors anticipated to be the primary distinguishing feature since design changes are minimal.
- These production samples corroborate earlier Macworld leaks and imply the iPhone 18 Pro series will retain designs similar to previous models, with only slight, barely noticeable size increases.
Earlier this year, leaks revealed the new colors for the iPhone 18 Pro, and now dummy models provide a glimpse of how they look in reality.
Back in April, our sister site Macworld offered an exclusive preview of the new iPhone 18 Pro colors, based on insider information. Although the images were digital renderings of color codes on 3D models, renowned leaker Sonny Dickson has now shared the first product samples of the iPhone 18 Pro in these colors on X.
This is the first opportunity to see the tones, including the new Dark Cherry, which appears to be the standout colorway following the iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange. This color has been widely emulated by Android phones and other tech products like smartwatches.
Dark Cherry emerges as the clear favorite, although it may polarize opinions more than Cosmic Orange, as it appears to have a more vibrant pink hue than the Macworld render. We’ll have to wait until September to see how it looks on the final device.
The camera module and glass back proportions suggest these are four iPhone 18 Pro Max dummies. As seen in the April leak, the colors include Light Blue, Black, Silver, and Dark Cherry. Assuming these samples come from an independent source, this new leak effectively confirms Macworld’s earlier report.

Not much else is new
Aside from the colors, the four dummy models align with expectations for the iPhone 18 series. It will be challenging to differentiate this year’s model from last year’s without the new colors.
It is anticipated that the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be marginally wider and longer than their predecessors, though these changes are expected to be subtle. All buttons remain in their usual locations, indicating no significant updates.
If you’re seeking a substantial upgrade, it might be wise to bypass the iPhone 18 Pro and wait for future developments in 2027.
