Hot off the heels of the Google Pixel 9 event , the rumour mill for Apple’siPhone 16lineup continues to churn steadily . We ’re just about a calendar month off from the next generation of iPhones , so it ’s just on the sensible horizon .

The recent reportinvolves anew colour for the iPhone 16 Pro   models , as dummy units have surface . We ’ve already seendummy units for the even iPhone 16 , and unremarkably , what we see for dummy units is a very cheeseparing representation of the final product .

But from what we have in this tardy batch , I believe I may be looking at one of the ugliest iPhone color I ’ve ever seen .

Introducing the ugliest smartphone color

A leaker named Sonny Dickson recently demonstrate off a photo of the iPhone 16 Pro dummy units , which feature four colors : white , black , gray , and a new Robert Brown or “ bronze ” color . There have been some hearsay that Apple may be bringing back a “ rose ” or “ gold ” shade , though it seems like that may not be happening . alternatively , we have whateverthisis .

Typically , Apple releases a brand raw color for the Pro lineup each year . The iPhone 11 Pro gave us Midnight Green , the iPhone 12 Pro had Pacific Blue , the iPhone 13 Pro had Sierra Blue with a newfangled Alpine Green color midway through the cycle , the iPhone 14 Pro had Deep Purple , and the iPhone 15 Pro had Natural Titanium and Blue Titanium .

There have been rumors for a while that Apple would one day add bronze to the lineup , butwow , I was not expecting it to look so … bad . From that picture , it seems more like a brown color , maybe something similar to leather . Perhaps it would n’t expect so unsound if the phone were actually made of leather , but on a glass back ? This is not good at all .

I really hope this is fake

I ’ve mentioned it before , but I ’ve kick upstairs myiPhone every yearto get the latest example . I also lean to pick up the Modern color because , otherwise , how will people get it on you have the modish one ? I jest , of course , but I always like to have the newest coloration because they ’re normally pretty secure .

But if this is the new flagship vividness for the iPhone 16 Pro , that ’s not happening this class . Nope . Absolutely not .

I really hope that what we see in the dummy photo is n’t what we ’re actually get because , to put things nicely , it look horrid . It reminds me of , well , you know what . It rhymes with smash .

After seeingGoogle ’s incredibly fun color lineup this year with the Pixel 9 serial publication , it ’s hard to believe that this is what Apple might follow up with . In a year when Google nailed its color card , getting an unpleasing brownish colour for this year ’s new iPhone would be a baffling pill to swallow .

If this is the unexampled iPhone 16 Pro color , I ’ll hop-skip picking it up and go with blank this year . Black is boring , and grizzly is n’t my color either . I ’m hoping and praying the outflow got it wrong here , because this is the last affair the iPhone 16 Pro motive .
