iPhone 16 Pro Colour Rumored to be Named ‘Desert Titanium’

Highlights

• The iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to come in white, black, gold, and grey.
• The gold colour is expected to be a very dark shade.
• Like the iPhone 15 Pro series, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will continue using titanium for their bodies.
• Earlier leaks suggested the new colour variant could be named “Desert Titanium” colour.

The rumours about the iPhone 16 series’s possible colour variants have been running wild for the last few weeks.

We have heard from many users including some trusted sources and Apple insiders about what is Apple planning. And everyone has a different story to tell.

If recent leaks are to be believed, the new colour that we will see the iPhone 16 Pro in is “Desert Titanium” and not rose gold or bronze as previously reported.

A recent leak from frequent tipster Maijin Bu on X.com (previously known as Twitter) has provided a glimpse into the potential colour options for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro lineup.

The leaked photo suggests that certain early reports of a bronze-ish colour variant might not be entirely accurate.

There are four colors in total in the iPhone 16 Pro Lineup: white, black, gold and gray.

Maijin Bu’s X post mentioned, “There are four colors in total in the iPhone 16 Pro Lineup: white, black, gold and gray. The desert titanium color is kind of dark gold, similar to the old purple color, relatively discreet and deep.”

According to this, the iPhone 16 Pro models will be available in white, black, gold, and grey. Also, the new colours could possibly be named “Desert Titanium.”

The image posted by Maijin Bu shows the camera lens ring of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.

The gold colour is described as a very dark and discreet shade, contrasting with the more traditional lighter gold tones.

Similar to the iPhone 15 Pro series, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to continue using titanium as the primary material for their bodies.

Earlier this week, we also had a leak from Sonny Dickson on X showing a lineup with a more bronze or brownish colour.

This colour is now being referred to as “desert titanium.”

As per multiple sources, this might replace the blue titanium option currently available on the iPhone 15 Pro models.

However, Bu’s leak contradicts and suggests that the new gold hue might offer a different alternative than we all assumed.

Rumours have also circulated about a possible “rose” or “rose gold” titanium option, with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo among the first to predict this colour.

Apart from multiple rumours regarding possible colour changes in iPhone 16, we have had many reports predicting possible key features as well.

Based on such prediction, we can say that the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to come with a larger 6.3-inch display, an upgrade from the 6.1-inch screen on the iPhone 15 Pro.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, will also get a size upgrade. It will most likely feature a 6.9-inch display compared to the 6.7-inch screen on its predecessor.

Both models are expected to sport a Tetraprism periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom, an ultra-wide camera with a 48MP sensor, and could be powered by the A18 Pro processor, utilizing TSMC’s advanced 3nm technology.

As anticipation builds, Apple is expected to reveal the full iPhone 16 lineup at a September event.

We would also see the new Mac and iPad models, updated AirPods and new software in the same event.
