Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro will come in a new color, a new report claims, and it will be sort-of familiar.
Leaker of iPhone-related things Majin Bu said the new color will be called Desert Titanium. “(It) is kind of dark gold, similar to the old purple color, relatively discreet and deep,” they shared on X.

The full color lineup for the iPhone 16 Pro will be “white, black, gold, and gray,” wrote Bu, and shared a photo which purportedly shows the camera rings of all the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models.

It’s not entirely clear what is this “old purple color” Bu is referring to. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro was offered in (a fairly light shade of) Gold, as well as Deep Purple. We’ve seen various shades of Rose Gold in iPhone’s history as well, starting with the iPhone 6S.
Remember Gold? This new color will be similar, but deeper. Reportedly.

Recent rumors said that the next iPhone Pro would be available in Rose Gold Titanium, which frankly doesn’t sound like a very good name; if I had to bet, Desert Titanium would be my bet for the official name. We’ve also heard that the new color would be something close to bronze, which also sort of aligns with the name “Desert Titanium.”
The current iPhone 15 Pro lineup offers four colors: Natural Titanium, White Titanium, Black Titanium, and Blue Titanium. According to reports, it’s Blue that’s getting replaced with Desert Titanium. None of this is official, of course; we’ll know more when Apple launches the new iPhones, likely in early September.
