New ‘Rose’ Color for iPhone 16 Pro Revealed – Rose Gold Phased Out

New ‘Rose’ Color for iPhone 16 Pro Revealed – Rose Gold Phased Out

A fresh rumor emerging from China suggests that Apple is set to introduce an all-new ‘Rose’ color for the iPhone 16 Pro. It remains uncertain if this will be the sole special color release this year, alongside the traditional Black and White options. Although this isn’t the first time such details have surfaced, it seems highly probable that Apple will proceed with this unique color choice.

iPhone 16 Pro Rumored to Feature a ‘Rose’ Color Option, Potentially a Darker Red Shade

The information was shared by Weibo leaker OvO Baby Sauce Ovo, who claims that the iPhone 16 Pro will come in a distinctive new color, starkly different from previous offerings. Historically, Apple has opted for bold color choices with darker hues for its ‘Pro’ models, but this year, the company appears to be taking a different approach.

However, the source indicates that the new color will simply be ‘Rose’ rather than the Rose Gold introduced with the iPhone 6S in 2015. This implies a significant difference between the two shades. It is also speculated that the new color will lean closer to red, as previously mentioned, although this rumor didn’t gain traction initially and was largely forgotten.

Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo Supports the ‘Rose’ Color Speculation

Prominent Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously highlighted the ‘Rose’ color in his predictions. According to Kuo, Apple will maintain the same color options, including Black, White, Natural Titanium, and Rose, for the iPhone 16 Pro. Kuo replaced the rumored Blue Titanium option with this new color. The Weibo source has similarly mentioned that the new red hue will be part of the lineup.

While these are the projected colors for the iPhone 16 Pro models, Ming-Chi Kuo has also provided insights into the standard lineup. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to be available in white, blue, black, pink, and green. The exact difference between the pink shade of the standard model and the ‘Rose’ shade of the iPhone 16 Pro remains unclear at this stage.

Expect a Darker Shade of ‘Rose’ for the iPhone 16 Pro

We anticipate that the ‘Rose’ color for the iPhone 16 Pro will be a darker shade of red, matching the intensity of the Blue Titanium color. Another indicator supporting this theory is Apple’s tendency to reserve lighter shades for its standard models, while the ‘Pro’ models typically feature darker tones. Do you believe the ‘Rose’ color will be darker or lighter on the iPhone 16 Pro?
