Rumors Point to the Five iPhone 15 Color Options to Expect

The iPhone 15 and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus will be available in a refreshed selection of colors, with at least five different shades to choose from, recent rumors suggest.

iPhone 15 Colors Mock Feature
According to the Twitter leaker known as "Unknownz21," who has provided an extensive amount of information about Apple's upcoming devices, at least six different colorways were tested for the ‌iPhone 15‌:

Yesterday, it emerged that Apple appears to be planning to accompany each of the devices in the ‌iPhone 15‌ lineup with a color-matched braided USB-C to USB-C cable for the first time. With the exception of the black version, each of the cables has a glossy white plastic shell at either end. Unlike the Apple Watch magnetic charging cable and MagSafe 3, the braided USB-C cables feature strain relief tubes.

To date, all ‌iPhone‌ models have come with a white cable featuring a white rubber jacket, regardless of the color option chosen for the device itself. Apple has gradually been moving to braided cables across most of its devices, and all MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with ‌‌MagSafe‌‌ 3 come with a color-matched braided cable, so doing the same for the ‌‌iPhone‌‌ seems plausible amid its transition to USB-C.

Apple device prototype collector "Kosutami" affirmed that they had seen design validation test (DVT) samples of the new cables. Now, Kosutami has shared images of what they claim are genuine Apple cables:

The orange cable shown by Kosutami has appeared to look pink in other images, causing some confusion online, suggesting that it is, in fact, more of a coral shade. This may also explain the "inconsistent mentions" of the orange ‌iPhone 15‌ highlighted by Unknownz21. Apple offered a Coral version of the ‌iPhone‌ XR in 2018, so there is precedent for the color option being offered in the past.

A single report from February suggested that the ‌iPhone 15‌ would be available in Pink and Blue. Blue is still expected according to the latest information, but the rumored pink shade may have become coral.

The shades of the braided USB-C cables match up with several of the color options Unknownz21 says Apple tested. All in all, this may be roughly what to expect in terms of colors to choose from on the ‌iPhone 15‌ and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus compared to the current models:


iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus

  • Midnight
  • Starlight
  • Yellow
  • Blue
  • Purple
  • PRODUCT(RED)

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

  • Midnight/Black
  • Starlight/White
  • Yellow
  • Blue
  • Orange/Coral

‌iPhone‌ lineups in recent years have launched with just five options, with a sixth following in the spring to boost sales midway through the device's product cycle. It looks like that could continue this year, with only five different USB-C cable colors having been spotted.

In April 2021, Apple made the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini available in Purple. Apple introduced a new Green color for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, and a new Alpine Green color for the ‌iPhone‌ 13 Pro models, the following year. As part of a spring color refresh earlier this year, Apple introduced a new Yellow color option for the iPhone 14 and ‌iPhone 14‌ Plus.

Since PRODUCT(RED) is noticeably absent from Unknownz21 and Kosutami's information, it seems possible that there may be no ‌iPhone‌ in that color this year. In early 2017 and 2018, the new hue introduced for the ‌iPhone‌ 7 and ‌iPhone‌ 8 was PRODUCT(RED), so it is entirely possible that PRODUCT(RED) could return on the ‌iPhone 15‌ and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus as an additional color option in the spring of 2024.

This is the most pointless "feature" ever on an iPhone. 98% of people use cases.

Nothing will beat the iPhone 12 purple.

Hoping for a really nice gold on the Pro models.
Wait a minute… what about the Yellow iPhone? ?

This would be ideal but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.

While I got a 14 in blue (pale sky blue), I find the current colour palette to be a little too pastel/washed out - we could use bolder colour options, like construction orange, cobalt blue or hot pink.

Leave the sophisticated black/silver/gold/etc metallic shades for pro line, the non-pro models are for fun punchy colours tho.

I truly do not understand why the more expensive models get less colors.
It’s something that has existed since Jobs and the iPod era.
If you wanted the one with the most storage, that would be the iPod classic, and that came in… stainless steel.
Or nothing.
There was even one year (2006) where the 2GB Nano came in Silver only (makes sense), the 4 GB came with the entire selection (makes sense), and the 8GB came in… black. And later red. Two colors only.
Just strange.
If your favorite color was blue and you wanted the most storage, you were out of luck.
