Apple Launching New MagSafe iPhone Cases Imminently
Apple is reportedly planning to launch new iPhone cases this spring, introducing at least two new colors.
The Twitter leaker known as "Majin Bu" recently claimed that Apple plans to make its MagSafe Leather Case available in two additional colors for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, as part of an upcoming spring collection refresh. The added colors would be Deep Violet and Golden Brown, both of which Apple has offered in the past. Existing color options for the case include Umber, Forest Green, Ink, Midnight, and Orange.
Deep Violet was a color option for the iPhone 12 series of Leather Cases, while Golden Brown remains an option for the iPhone 13 series of Leather Cases. Apple also offered the iPhone Leather Wallet and AirTag Leather Key Ring in Golden Brown.
Apple has recycled iPhone case colors in the past, so the rumor is highly plausible. For example, one of the current iPhone 14 Leather Case color options is Forest Green, which was previously available for the iPhone 11 Leather Case. Majin Bu has accurately leaked iPhone case colors in the past, although their track record is not perfect with regards to wider Apple rumors.
iPhone case and Apple Watch band color options are often refreshed on a seasonal basis. Apple debuted new spring color options for iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands on Tuesday, March 8 last year, so new color options could be announced as early as today if Apple sticks to the same schedule this year. Moreover, a other recent rumors suggest that a new version of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in Yellow could be announced simultaneously as part of a wider spring refresh.
