What colours will the iPhone 16 range be available in?

The iPhone 16 colours are rumoured to include a broader selection than the Pro models, possibly offering the most diverse palette of any iPhone to date.

According to a recent iPhone 16 leak shared by Sonny Dickson on X, the iPhone 16 could come in five vibrant shades: white, black, blue, green and pink. While the iPhone 15 colours included most of these options, this year’s line-up appears to feature more vivid and striking hues, departing from the softer pastels seen previously.

What colours will the iPhone 16 Pro be available in?

The latest iPhone 16 Pro leaks from reputable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claim that the new iPhone 16 Pro colours and iPhone 16 Pro Max colours are expected to be available in four distinct shades: black titanium, white titanium, natural titanium (a light grey) and a new rose shade.

Although some less substantiated iPhone 16 Pro rumours suggest that Apple might introduce a glossier finish this year due to advancements in titanium and colour processing, the evidence supporting this claim is limited.

Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro’s colour options are likely to remain fairly restricted.

What colours are the iPhone 15 range available in?

The iPhone 15 colours offer a more subtle and pastel-themed selection compared to the rumoured iPhone 16 colour range. You’ll find the iPhone 15 available in five colours: pink, yellow, green, blue and black.

If you prefer a softer colour option, the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus might be a better choice for you.

What colours are the iPhone 15 Pro range available in?

Apple continued their tradition of using a titanium finish on their premium models, boasting four colour options for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max: black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium and natural titanium (a light grey).

These options are almost identical to the rumoured iPhone 16 Pro colours, although it seems like blue titanium will be replaced by rose. So if you’re not desperate for blue titanium or rose titanium, you might have a harder time deciding on your next phone!
