The iPhone 16 rumour mill has been in overdrive. The recent leak comes from popular analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who has revealed the colour options for the iPhone 16 lineup. The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to get a new colour. Here’s the complete scoop.
iPhone 16 Pro New Colour Options
In a recent post on X, Kuo shared the higher-end iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models, Kuo anticipates that Apple will continue offering the “Natural Titanium,” “Black Titanium,” and “White Titanium” colours, similar to the iPhone 15 Pro series.
However, the existing “Blue Titanium“ option will be discontinued, and a new “Rose Titanium“ colour will be introduced. Kuo also mentions that Apple might rebrand the existing colour names, even if the original shades remain unchanged.
As for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models, these are expected to retain the same colour options as the current iPhone 15 series, with one notable change. The familiar black, green, pink, and blue shades will remain, but the pale yellow variant will be replaced by what Kuo describes as “white.” This new shade is expected to be Apple’s “Starlight,“ a whitish-gold hue colour, which we have seen commonly used in Apple’s product lineup.
iPhone 17 Slim to be the Most Expensive Model with New Design
According to a report from The Information, sources indicate that Apple plans to release its slimmest iPhone in 2025 as part of the iPhone 17 lineup. Internally codenamed D23, it is expected to be named “iPhone 17 slim,” which is said to replace the current Plus variant.
This model is anticipated to represent a major redesign comparable to the transformative iPhone X launched in 2017. The iPhone X introduced features like Face ID, an OLED screen, and a glass back, setting a new standard for Apple’s smartphones. Similarly, the D23 model is expected to feature a significantly thinner chassis and a smaller display cutout.
Rumours also suggest that Apple may replace the Dynamic Island with a pinhole cutout, possibly starting with the iPhone 16 range. Additionally, the rear camera could shift from the traditional upper left corner to the top centre.
However, it’s important to note that the Cupertino-based tech giant has not officially disclosed any details about the upcoming iPhone 16 or 17 lineup. Therefore, this information should be taken with a grain of salt.
