Apple officially confirmed the iPhone 18 Pro colors on September 9, 2026: Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy. Both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are available in the same four finishes.
What Colors Does the iPhone 18 Pro Come In?
Apple’s official lineup for both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max is:
- Black
- Silver
- Glacier
- Burgundy
Burgundy is the standout new addition this year — a deep wine-red finish that replaces Cosmic Orange from the iPhone 17 Pro lineup. Black, Silver, and Glacier carry the neutral, professional-looking options forward.
What Happened to the Rumored Dark Cherry and Sky Blue Colors?
Before Apple’s official announcement, some pre-launch reports speculated about finishes called Dark Cherry and Sky Blue (or Light Blue). Apple’s actual announcement did not use either name. The closest finish to those rumors is Burgundy, a deep red finish that plausibly matches what some of the “Dark Cherry” reports were describing, though Apple’s official name and exact shade are what matter now that the color is confirmed. This guide uses only Apple’s official color names going forward.
Is There a Black iPhone 18 Pro?
Yes. Black is one of the four confirmed official finishes, alongside Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy.
Do the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Have the Same Colors?
Yes. Apple’s official specifications confirm that both the iPhone 18 Pro and the larger iPhone 18 Pro Max are offered in the same four finishes: Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy. Neither model gets an exclusive color option this year.
Did Cosmic Orange Return?
No. Cosmic Orange, one of the iPhone 17 Pro’s three launch colors, was not carried over. Apple replaced it with Burgundy for the iPhone 18 Pro generation. The iPhone 17 Pro’s other two colors, Silver and Deep Blue, gave way to the refreshed Silver, Black, and Glacier options on iPhone 18 Pro.
Which iPhone 18 Pro Color Should You Choose?
Color choice comes down to personal preference rather than any functional difference — all four finishes share the same camera system, chip, and battery. Black and Silver remain the safest, most neutral choices for anyone who prefers a understated look or plans to use a case most of the time. Glacier offers a lighter, distinct alternative to Silver. Burgundy is the finish most likely to stand out and show off the design without a case.
The Bottom Line
Apple has officially confirmed four iPhone 18 Pro colors, available on both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy. Burgundy is the new addition this year, replacing the iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange.
