A new image posted on Twitter this morning allegedly shows Apple's as-yet unreleased spring color options for iPhone 12 cases, offering a better look at the company's upcoming protective silicone cases.
Based on the images, Apple plans to release four new color options in its iPhone 12 case range. Official names for the colorways are still unknown, but based on the photo they approximate dark purple, light blue, light green, and orange.
The source of the photo doesn't have a track record for Apple leaks, so it's not possible to know for certain that the cases shown are genuine or just fakes based on previous leaks, but they at least give us a better idea at what the cases could look like.
In 2020, Apple released matching iPhone 11 and Apple Watch bands for its spring collection. The company typically releases new spring accessories around the end of March or early April, and with Siri's revelation this morning of an Apple event on April 20, we could well see them in the next couple of weeks.
Update: The source of the image, Tommy Boi, has tweeted the above picture revealing the alleged names of Apple's spring color collection of iPhone 12 cases. They are: Cantaloupe, Amethyst, Pistachio, and Capri Blue. The same Twitter account has posted an image indicating that they will launch in April.
Update: Another photo of the alleged "Amethyst" color has surfaced.

I wonder what happens to the zillions of unsold Apple silicon cases worldwide? There are lots of companies using recycled and eco-friendly materials, ranging from plastic fished out of the ocean to plants to cork. It would be great if Apple could come up with an “eco” line of cases too, as they can get a perfect fit as soon as the products are out. ✌️
That Blue looks great but i already have 9 of Apple's cases in a mixture of leather and silicone.Think I'll pass.Wish they would make a Lime Green silicone case.Hasn't been one in that colour since the iPhone 6.
