The iPhone 18 Pro may be released in these three colors, and black still isn’t among them.

      Three colors, excluding black, with a Dark Cherry intended to serve the same purpose as Cosmic Orange last year.

      Fans of the iPhone Pro who were hoping for a return of a dark color option from Apple this year may find this disappointing.

      A recent leak from Weibo tipster Instant Digital suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro may be available in just three colors: Dark Cherry, Light Blue, and Silver-Gray. As can be seen, black or dark gray is absent from the list.

      Renders of the iPhone 18 Pro show it in four colors, although the gray variant might not make it to production.

      What is the claim here?

      The three-color selection seems to follow the trend set by the iPhone 17 Pro. For those who may not know, last year's Pro iPhone debuted with three colors: Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver, despite prior speculation of as many as five options.

      This leak indicates that Apple could be repeating this pattern. Instant Digital describes Dark Cherry as the key marketing color, akin to Cosmic Orange's role in the current lineup.

      Light Blue could be a substitute for Deep Blue, and Silver-Gray might resemble last year’s Silver but with a potentially different hue.

      Is there confirmation for a three-color lineup?

      Not exactly. Rumors about the iPhone 18 Pro colors have fluctuated significantly this year. In February, a Deep Red finish was suggested as the model’s signature color; this might now refer to the Dark Cherry shade.

      In April, another leak hinted at four new color options. The lack of consensus suggests that the colors have not yet been finalized, although Instant Digital’s reputation adds some credibility to this claim.

      Recently, drop-test footage of the iPhone 18 Pro emerged on June 30 through a Tata Electronics data breach, displaying the device in what appeared to be a gray color, aligning with the Silver-Gray finish mentioned in the leak.

      The lack of black has become a recurring issue for iPhone Pro customers. The iPhone 17 Pro was the first Pro model in recent years to completely omit black, and it seems there won’t be a change for the 18 Pro either.

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

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

      The company intends to produce more of its initial foldable iPhone than previously anticipated, with reports stating that suppliers have been informed to prepare around 10 million iPhone Ultra units for 2026, an increase from earlier projections of 7 to 8 million—representing a 30% rise in production goals.

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

      A slim prototype of a SpaceX AI device has reportedly been presented to certain investors.

      SpaceX is said to have shown a prototype of a device similar to a handset, which is thinner than an iPhone. According to The Wall Street Journal, the device is expected to operate on a proprietary OS, utilize a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, and incorporate AI technology from xAI.

      This project remains in its early stages, and there is no certainty that SpaceX will bring it to market. The report also clarifies that it does not classify the device as a traditional smartphone, which is noteworthy. It could either be a phone, something resembling a dedicated AI device, or a project that may never progress beyond the prototype phase.

      Google is enhancing security in Android 17 to make it more difficult for malicious individuals to guess and crack your phone's PIN.

      Thieves will now be limited to 20 attempts before access is locked.

      Google has announced plans to make Android 17 even more secure. The company has stated that the new version will reduce the number of attempts someone can make to guess your PIN or password and introduce longer waiting times between unsuccessful attempts.
