The iPhone 18 Pro may be released in these three colors, and black is still not among them.

      Three colors, excluding black, featuring a Dark Cherry that aims to replicate the effect of Cosmic Orange from last year.

      iPhone Pro enthusiasts hoping for a dark color option from Apple this year might be disappointed by recent reports.

      A leak from Weibo tipster Instant Digital indicates that the iPhone 18 Pro could be available in only three colors: Dark Cherry, Light Blue, and Silver-Gray. As you can see, black or dark gray does not appear on the list.

      Renderings of the iPhone 18 Pro showcase four colors, although the gray option may not make it to the official launch.

      What are the specifics of this claim?

      This three-color arrangement would align with Apple’s approach for the iPhone 17 Pro. Last year, the Pro iPhone was launched with three colors: Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver, despite earlier rumors of up to five options.

      This latest leak implies that Apple could be repeating this pattern. Instant Digital identifies Dark Cherry as the primary marketing color, similar to how Cosmic Orange functioned in the current lineup.

      Light Blue might be the new alternative to Deep Blue, while Silver-Gray could be akin to last year’s Silver, though with a potentially different tint.

      Is there confirmation of a three-color lineup?

      Not exactly. Rumors regarding iPhone 18 Pro colors have varied significantly this year. Back in February, a Deep Red finish was suggested as the phone's main color, which could now refer to the Dark Cherry shade.

      In April, another leak indicated four new finish options. Given the inconsistencies, it appears the colors have yet to be finalized, although Instant Digital's reputation does lend credibility to this assertion.

      Recently, drop-test footage of the iPhone 18 Pro was leaked on June 30 through a Tata Electronics breach, showcasing what seemed to be a gray color scheme, consistent with the Silver-Gray finish mentioned in the leak.

      The omission of black has become a continuing grievance for iPhone Pro buyers. The iPhone 17 Pro was the first of the recent Pro models to completely forgo black, and it seems the 18 Pro will follow suit.

      Apple reportedly aims to sell 10 million foldable iPhones, but the starting price could be shocking.

      According to Nikkei Asia, Apple has upped its production target for the iPhone Ultra to approximately 10 million units ahead of the scheduled launch in September.

      Apple is planning a larger production run for its first foldable iPhone than initially anticipated, as reported by Nikkei Asia. The company has asked suppliers to prepare around 10 million units of the iPhone Ultra for 2026, an increase from previous estimates of 7 to 8 million.

      This represents a 30% increase in the production goal.

      Elon Musk’s SpaceX may be developing an AI device that is thinner than an iPhone.

      SpaceX has allegedly presented a prototype of a device resembling a handset, which is reportedly slimmer than an iPhone, to investors.

      According to The Wall Street Journal, the device is expected to run on a proprietary operating system, utilize a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, and integrate AI technology from xAI. The project is still in its early phases, and there is no assurance that SpaceX will bring it to market. The report also clarifies that it is not categorized as a conventional smartphone, which is significant. It could range from a phone to a specialized AI device or might not advance beyond the prototype stage.

      Google is enhancing security with Android 17 to make it more challenging for unauthorized individuals to guess and crack your phone's PIN.

      Thieves will have only 20 attempts before access is blocked.

      Google has confirmed that Android 17 will limit the number of attempts to guess PINs or passwords while introducing longer waiting times after failed attempts. A deeper analysis provided by Mishaal Rahman gives insight into just how rigorous this change will be.
