What colors does the iPhone 18 Pro come in?

Apple is working on Light Blue, Dark Cherry, Silver, and Dark Gray color options for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

Did it turn out to be true?

Partly right. Some of this was right and some of it was not. Macworld reported it on Apr 17, 2026 in 9to5Mac. That was 145 days before Apple iPhone 18 Pro was announced on Sep 9, 2026. Two of the four named colours shipped (light blue, and silver as glacier) and Dark Cherry is arguably burgundy, but Dark Gray did not ship and Black — a launch finish — was not in the list.
