One of the questions Apple watchers have is about the colors of the next product. A new report claims to know what the iPhone 18 Pro colors will include \u2014 and it\u2019s an unprecedented change. <\/p>\n

The First-Ever Red iPhone Pro?<\/h2>\n

The iPhone 18 Pro could be the first ever iPhone to launch in red. But wait, I hear you say, there have been red iPhones before. Absolutely, but never a Pro model and rarely when that year\u2019s iPhone first launched.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first red iPhone arrived as a mid-cycle release version of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. You could buy the newest iPhone in red, but not in the first six months of that model\u2019s availability,\u201d 9to5Mac reported.<\/p>\n

The same thing happened the following year for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus \u2014 red came later, not at the original release.<\/p>\n

While the iPhone XR had red as one of its options from day one, that didn\u2019t apply to the high-end iPhone XS. <\/p>\n

From Muted Tones To Cosmic Orange<\/h2>\n

The Pro models have, until this year, tended towards quieter colors, such as Forest Green, Deep Purple and muted shades. <\/p>\n

All that changed last September with the introduction of the modestly-named Cosmic Orange. A bright, feisty color, it came as a surprise to many and offered an all-new way to think about iPhone colors. <\/p>\n

The first mention of the red iPhone 18 Pro came from Bloomberg, which suggested that Apple will handle red in a serious way. \u201cApple is now considering a deep red color for its next lineup. Given the success of orange, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if the company keeps that option around and just adds the red as an additional choice. But red and orange might be a little too close on the color wheel to have both. We\u2019ll see how this plays out exactly, but I can at least tell you that, as of now, red is the new flagship color in testing for the next iPhone Pros,\u201d…<\/p>\n
