iPhone 18 Pro dummy unit leak shows new ‘Dark Cherry’ colour

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to launch this fall, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from churning up photos of 18 Pro dummy units. Leaker Sonny Dickson, who seems to be on fire after sharing a dummy unit of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, has shared dummies of the iPhone 18 Pro Max in all four of its colour options.

Corroborating previous rumours, the iPhone 18 Pro Max will come in Light Blue, Black, Silver and Dark Cherry. Dickson says that the Cherry will likely “be the next hit.” The Dark Cherry looks fine, but it’s nothing against last year’s orange.

While there have been several leaks over the past month describing this possible Dark Cherry colour unit, this is the first time we’re seeing these handsets live. The Dark Cherry will probably get an interesting Space-themed name to go alongside other colour options like ‘Cosmic Orange.’

Dummy models are usually made from plastic or low-quality metals, and because of this, colours don’t always turn out exactly like the dummy models. The tone and saturation of the models could be different when Apple officially releases the devices; however, considering MacRumors‘ reporting of internal Pantone codes said to be used at Apple, and previous leaks, if this Dark Cherry isn’t exact, it’s likely pretty close.

Honestly, though, that Light Blue might be the best of the three options. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max in September, possibly alongside the iPhone Ultra… or Fold Ultra… or whatever the rumoured foldable iPhone is called.

Leaking the Samsung Z Fold 8 and now the iPhone 18 Pro, I’m curious to see what Sonny will leak next.
