A recently surfaced image appears to confirm previous rumors about the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max color options. The photo showcases the camera lens rings in various hues, including a new “Desert Titanium” shade that’s been generating buzz.

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

Michael Burkhardt for 9to5Mac:

iPhone 16 Pro’s new “Desert Titanium” color will replace “Blue Titanium” from the iPhone 15 Pro lineup, and it’ll be joined by White Titanium, Black Titanium, and Natural Titanium. It appears that this year’s Black Titanium will be a lot darker, and Natural Titanium will have more of a gray finish.

A couple months ago, leaks suggested that Apple would be switching back to a polished finish on the iPhone 16 Pro, similar to the stainless steel finishes of iPhone X to iPhone 14 Pro. These camera lens ring leaks seem to back that up.

  1. Wow, that’s really ugly. Glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. Geez… 🚽

    Stevo’s gotta be spinnin’ in his grave… 🌪️

    I realize it’s the “Pro” line, but it still baffles me why Apple doesn’t have a pink model here or something, anything less “ManCave-ish.” Professionals like bright colors, too. 🎨

    …and it goes against Apple’s corporate culture, but I wonder how many times the secret design cabal has thought about a branded iPhone. I know a lotta girls who’d kill for a “Hello Kitty” version. 😸

      1. Nick, if YOU read more carefully next time, you’ll note I didn’t actually make any suggestions. They were ponderings and asides.

        While you peruse Strunk & White, perhaps research Esteban’s debut of the iMac? After Bondi Blue, Jobs was the guy who brought blueberry, grape, tangerine, lime, and strawberry colors to computers. I think he’d be just fine with the color pink moving over to the iPhone Pro line.

        However, if somehow Jonny Ive became delirious and brought that poo-colored one to him, he’d have laughed, hurled it across the room, and told Jonny to take a sick day with pay.
