September is mightily around the niche , and that means we ’re just a few weeks aside from Apple’siPhone 15event . This year , it looks like we ’re in spades work to get the iPhone 15 batting order , as well as theApple Watch Series 9and , perhaps , anApple Watch Ultra 2 . The rumor mill has been going particularly strong lately as we inch ever closer to the promulgation .
But one of the late report from9to5 Macseems to indicate that Apple is getting rid of the Au color option for the iPhone 15 Pro andadding a “ Titan Gray”(natural titanium , like to Apple Watch Ultra ) and Dark blasphemous color instead . This also seems to argue that the crimson red color rumor from a few month ago is also inaccurate , as we ’re getting a “ blue ” instead .

So , if we take a look at the lineup , this is what we ’re possibly catch : Space Black , Silver ( white ) , Titan Gray , and Dark Blue . Simply put , it sounds like the most boring iPhone Pro color batting order yet .
Apple’s history with a lack of color for Pros
I have been lamenting the want of “ fun ” color for the Pro model for several geezerhood now , but it looks this yr ’s lineup will be the bad if the rumors are true .
Apple has always given the Pro models have more dull colors compared to the stock iPhone models . It ’s almost like Apple conceive that “ Pros ” do n’t like fun colors . That ’s why I ’ve had to buy bold and vivacious case to slap on my iPhone Pros for the retiring several years — I care tomake a statement with my telephone .
I ’ve let every contemporaries of iPhone since the original . One of my absolute favorites was the iPhone 6s , which was the first to introduce Rose Gold to the lineup , and I have sex it because , despite the name , it was pinkish .
TheiPhone 11 Prowas the first Pro manikin iPhone , and it finally add some coloration back to the premix with Midnight Green after only have the standard Space Gray , Silver , and episodic Gold . I jumped at the Midnight Green color immediately because green was another one of my preferred color , and I wish having whatever shade is consider “ fresh . ”
Then theiPhone 12 Procame around , and I adored the Pacific Blue colouring . This was a rich , thick , and saturated blue that was absolutely gorgeous . I like the elusive Green River of Midnight Green before it , but Pacific Blue was one of the best Pro colors Apple has ever made . It pay me Leslie Townes Hope that Apple recognise how to do colors on a “ Pro ” iPhone .
But then we got Sierra Blue for theiPhone 13 Pro . While I care it more than the other standard launch color , it was a petty too wan for me and , frankly , grueling to snap . Apple bring out Alpine Green in the midriff of the iPhone 13 life cycle , which ended up being my favorite and the one I would have buy if it was available on launch day . A richer green hue than the Midnight Green from two eld ago , the Alpine Green became a personal ducky , even if it was n’t super pop with everyone else .
With theiPhone 14 Proline , Apple nixed the blues and common of the past and bring in Deep Purple . When I first heard that Apple was bringing in purple , I was see a regal purple kind of colour , which would have been sensational . However , what we actually got end up looking more like a grey - tinted purple most of the fourth dimension . If you have it in the correct Christ Within , I suppose it can see passably purple , but that is n’t 100 % of the time .
Still , at least the Deep Purple gave me a more exciting color option than Space Black , Silver , or Gold . I just like to have a bit of people of colour for my convenience . Is that such a big ask ?
You can have any color, as long as it’s gray
Now , let ’s take a look at what we could be cause with the iPhone 15 Pro . Again , that ’s Space Black , Silver , Titan Gray , and Dark Blue . But if you look at the render that ’s floating around fromTheAppleHub , well , they all have one thing in common : they ’re all various shades of grey .
Space Black is the classic smuggled / drab gray coloration that Apple has been using for years . However , it seems that it is ever so slightly different each twelvemonth .
Ag is another traditional colouring material , though the back shabu appears to more of a white or off - blanched colour , and the frame is what I ’d moot “ silver . ” Still , it ’s also a shade of gray , technically , and also rather boring .
Titan Gray looks like a novel one this year , and it reckon like what I would imagine of when I hear the word “ gray . ” I feel like this could be more of a natural titanium color like on the Apple Watch Ultra , which is very potential considering that rumors bespeak the iPhone 15 Pro models will have a Ti anatomy rather than unstained steel . Still , I ’ve never been a big buff of middle - of - the - route hoary hues , and Titan Gray look to be on the nose that .
Dark Blue is the most interesting of the bunch , but it still does n’t retain a wax light to the iPhone 12 Pro ’s Pacific Blue . Honestly , the Dark Blue is n’t what I would call disconsolate — it ’s more like a blue - tinct dark gray . In fact , if the image of the Dark Blue color was n’t next to the three other color options , I ’d be hard - pressed to even call that a right blue hue .
If this is , in fact , the lineup of colors for the iPhone 15 Pro , I am going to be so , so thwarted . This would be the most muted pick yet , and to me , they are all just a unlike shade of Thomas Gray . Nothing playfulness or exciting about them at all .
Titanium dictates the shades
The ground that Apple may be going with such bland colours this year could be due to theswitch over to a titanium frame , as rumors seem to signal . Titanium is more lightweight and durable than stainless blade , which is presently what the iPhone 14 Pro models practice , but atomic number 22 is harder to work with in terms of color .
I am really emotional if Apple is indeed using Ti , as I ’ve always like how much more lightweight and durable it is . I had a titanium Apple Watch Series 5 that I was using up until I get anApple Watch Ultraa few week ago , and it had no scratches or scuffs on it , even after years of use .
Despite that , I ’m still disappoint that a better textile intend less interesting colors — especially when the other rumors seemed to show that a crimson red could have been come .
Maybe one twenty-four hours Apple can make some really fun colors for its flagship phones — Android phonemanufacturers clearly have Apple beat there . But these iPhone 15 Pro coloration ? They are n’t fun .
