The iPhone 15 Pro is slated to arrive in four color choices, with two of them marking a fresh direction for Apple’s smartphone finishes, according to a report from 9To5Mac.

The publication outlines that the entire iPhone 15 Pro lineup will feature four hues: silver, gray (often referred to as Titan Grey), black, and navy blue. The standout development here is the introduction of gray and navy specifically for this generation, colors that were not used in earlier iPhone models.

9To5Mac traces the color history of Apple’s flagship lines back to the iPhone 5s and 6s. When the 5s debuted, silver, gold, and space gray became regular options, and a black variant followed with the 6s. Through the years, Apple tended to swap a fourth color with each major release. Examples include Rose Gold, Jet Black, Midnight Green, Pacific Blue, and Sierra Blue. The newest tint in the iPhone 14 Pro lineup has been Deep Purple, underscoring Apple’s willingness to refresh the palette in meaningful ways.

Market chatter at the time suggested the iPhone 15 series would be unveiled in September. Alongside the phones, chatter pointed to the probable arrival of the Apple Watch Series 9. The majority of the new devices were anticipated to hit stores before the month’s end, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max (Ultra) rumored to face a possible October launch due to production considerations.

Historically, insiders have highlighted notable distinctions between the iPhone 15 Pro and its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro, with color options playing a part in the broader design and consumer appeal. These shifts in finish, alongside performance and camera enhancements, form part of Apple’s ongoing strategy to refresh its high-end lineup while maintaining a familiar design language for loyal buyers.
