Apple Will Finally Fulfill a Top Request With the iPhone 18 Pro

Many people have long wished for Apple to release a Pro or Pro Max model of the iPhone in red, and it might finally happen this year.

iPhone 18 Pro Deep Red Feature
The special new color that Apple is considering for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max this year is red, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Specifically, he said that Apple has tested a "deep red" finish for the two devices.

If this rumor materializes, it would be the first time that the Pro and Pro Max models ever come in red, and the iPhone 18 Pro models would be the first iPhone models of any kind to be available in red since the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus came in (PRODUCT)RED, which is no longer offered. However, it sounds like it would be more burgundy than bright red.

iPhone 17 Pro color options are Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue, and some of those color options might stick around for the iPhone 18 Pro models too.

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 18 Pro models in September.
