The purported Apple iPhone 16 Pro, set to launch in the second half of 2024, may come in four colour options. The iPhone maker is potentially replacing two colours from last year, says a latest leak. Apple shifted from stainless steel to titanium for the bodies of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, offering them in four colourways.
As per details leaked by a tipster, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro is expected to be available in Gray, Rose, Space Black and White colour options. While the gray and white colours seem to be carried over from last year's iPhone 15 Pro models, it appears that the black and blue color variants will be replaced by space black and rose colours, respectively.
The leak further adds that the iPhone 16 Pro may introduce rose as one of its colour options, representing the sole entirely new shade available. Rose could potentially serve as the closest alternative to gold currently offered. While Apple has previously introduced various iterations of rose gold, it's speculated that the rose color on a titanium antenna band may exude a golden hue.
"Well, according to the Weibo account, we will have a new color called Rose this year No natural titanium and blue titanium He was quite accurate on the iPhone 14 pro ‘s purple color," tipster @VNchocoTaco posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Meanwhile, an image of a case allegedly for the iPhone 16 Pro, leaked on X (formerly Twitter), by user Sonny Dickson (via GSMArena), seems to suggest the potential placement of Apple's rumoured capture button on the device. Following the introduction of the programmable Action button with the iPhone 15 Pro models, recent reports indicate that Apple may introduce a new button designed to quickly launch the camera and capture photos or videos.
The leaked image further indicates that the capture button might be positioned on the right side of the phone, below the power button -- aligning with leaked renders of the iPhone Pro models circulated online earlier this month. Additionally, the case appears to cover the power button, while exposing the potential location of the rumored capture button.
However, it is very important to approach these claims with caution as the cutout could potentially serve other purposes, such as housing components like an mmWave 5G antenna.
