The rumours that Apple is replacing the Blue Titanium colour variant with this new bronze-like colour for the iPhone 16 Pro have been doing rounds for some time.
While some reports had speculated about a rose or gold colour as well, the latest leaked images of dummy iPhone 16 Pro models suggest that the new option is more of a bronze than rose gold.
A new image shared by insider Sonny Dickson on X (Previously Twitter) reveals the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro in four colours.
The image of dummy phones includes a fresh and exciting “bronze” shade.

This marks a change from the current iPhone 15 Pro lineup, which features Natural Titanium, Blue Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium.
This bronze colour, which is almost leaning towards a brown or dark khaki shade, might disappoint those iPhone fans who were hoping for a gold finish.
The demand for a gold finish in the iPhone 16 series gained momentum since the iPhone 15 lineup was the first since the iPhone XS to not include a gold variant.
The leaked image also highlights that the Black Titanium colour on the iPhone 16 Pro will be noticeably darker than that of the iPhone 15 Pro.
However, it’s important to note that these images are of dummy units, so the final colour could still change as Apple fine-tunes its design.
Dickson last month also revealed the colour options for the non-Pro iPhone 16 models in a Post on X.
Earlier, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to be available in black, white or silver, grey or “Natural Titanium,” and rose colours.
Mirroring Kuo’s prediction, a Weibo source also claimed in March this year that the iPhone 16 Pro lineup will have a new “rose” titanium colour.
It is important to note that there is no update on the official colour names that Apple might use.
iPhone 16 Pro series rumours – What We Know So Far
In addition to the colour changes, 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 will also see a size increase, featuring a 6.9-inch display compared to the 6.7-inch screen on its predecessor.
Both models are rumoured to include 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.
While these details are exciting, it’s wise to take them with a grain of salt until Apple makes an official announcement.
The next-generation iPhone 16 lineup is due to arrive around mid-September 2024.
Chance Miller for 9to5Mac:
If [this] rumor is to be believed, the new iPhone 16 Pro color option will resemble more of a bronze shade than “rose” or gold, like has also been previously rumored.
However, this does align with one report from a few weeks ago, which said the rumored fourth iPhone 16 Pro color would feature a “bronze-like color.”
The color is closer to a brown or dark khaki color than it is to a shade of gold, which could come as a disappointment to some iPhone buyers.
Notably, the iPhone 15 lineup was the first to not include a gold finish since the iPhone XS in 2018.
