Cherry Red color has popped up more than once in leaks. This new shade is all but confirmed for the iPhone 18 Pro series. Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max will bid adieu to the Orange color. The hero version now seems to be the Dark Cherry shade. It was found again in some viral live images today, next to the black and blue colors.
The leaked images are not of the iPhone itself or its dummy replicas. These photos were probably taken on the factory floor and seem to feature the Aluminium shell of the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max that holds all the components inside the device. This frame seems to have three colors.
The exact marketing names that Apple might use are a mystery to us. The internet hasn’t found the names just yet. But one is obviously a red color build. This is probably the one they call Cherry Red or Dark Cherry. These are tentative names, by the way.
Cloud Blue is another color for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. This paint job was also seen in one of the photos. The third one is a full black color. It doesn’t need context. Apple has tried such muted colors before on iPhones. These images don’t really paint a full picture of what the phone might actually look like. By the way, Here is the newest Apple iPhone price list, including all current models and variants.
The frame doesn’t seem all that different from the iPhone 17 Pro series. There was a big shift from Titanium to Aluminium with last year’s lineup. And we saw a major design overhaul. So it’s possible that we won’t see any design changes at all this time with the iPhone 18 Pro Max.
They’ll probably introduce new colors and call it a day. Sources agree that Apple will remain consistent, as far as the launch timeline goes. If everything goes according to plan, we may see the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launch in September. iPhone Ultra will launch with them. But the basic iPhone 18 and 18e might be delayed till the next spring.
(Note: Leaks are rarely 100% accurate, and the same applies to today's report as well. There's a debate on whether these images are AI-generated or real. Naver Blogger Lanzik has a solid track record, but we still advise taking this news with a grain of salt until more sources verify the leaker's claim.)
