If like me you’re a fan of theiPhone 14 Pro’s gold option, it looks like there’s bad news:Appleisn’t going to offer gold as a colour for theiPhone 15 Pro. According to new reports Apple intends to offer the new titanium-encased iPhone in a new range of colours, and this time gold isn’t one of them.
According to9to5Macthe new colours are dark blue, silver, space black and a “natural titanium shade”; the colours will be for both theiPhone15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Thepreviously rumoured dark redthat I thought looked amazing has apparently been shelved.
As for the standardiPhone 15and the iPhone 15 Plus, we’re expecting to see those models come in a choice of black, green, blue, yellow or pink.
Why isn’t Apple going for gold?
Presumably Apple feels that gold has now lost its desirability. It’s not a common colour option in current smartphones; the closestSamsungcolour option for its flagshipGalaxy S23 Ultrais cream.
I think the closest equivalent iPhone 15 Pro colour is going to be the natural titanium option. You can see Apple’s use of titanium already on theApple WatchUltra, and I’d expect the iPhone 15 Pro to match that its premium smartwatch and premium iPhone appear to be carved from the same metal. It’s not quite as buttery as the current gold option but it’s likely to be warmer-looking than the silver model Apple is apparently also going to offer.
