As the launch of Apple’s new phone lineup nears, new leaks have emerged. iPhone 16’s colors may have been leaked. iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are expected to bring a new palette, and a new color option has already started making waves among Apple fans.
iPhone 16 Pro colors leaked
A new leak from user @MajinbuOfficial (obviously a Dragonball fan) on social media platform X (Twitter) has revealed a potential new color for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. According to the leak, the new color said to be “Desert Titanium”, will replace the Blue Titanium color that graced the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. This new color is described as dark gold and is compared to the Deep Purple color of the iPhone 14 Pro, known for its muted and understated tone.
There are four colors in total in the iPhone 16 Pro Lineup: white, black, gold and gray.

The leaked information suggests that “Desert Titanium” will join the lineup alongside White Titanium, Black Titanium, and Natural Titanium. The Black Titanium color will reportedly be much deeper this year, adding more contrast to the overall palette.
What the new color could mean for Apple’s design approach
The introduction of the “Desert Titanium” color is in line with Apple’s trend of offering unique and refined color options for its Pro models. The dark gold color adds a new layer in contrast to the vibrant and playful colors expected for the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This innovation is reportedly part of a broader design update, with Apple reportedly using color-infused glass on all iPhone 16 models. This technique could be responsible for the frosted or muted effect seen in the new “Desert Titanium” hue.
The display bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro are also rumored to be the thinnest of any smartphone, and there are whispers that a 5x optical zoom camera will be included on the Pro model. If true, this would bring hardware upgrades to a lineup that was previously exclusive to Max models.

Anticipation builds ahead of the iPhone 16 series launch
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 16 series earlier than usual this year, with reports pointing to a September 10 release. As the release date draws closer, the tech community is abuzz with speculation about what other surprises Apple might have in store. Foxconn, Apple’s primary assembler in China, has reportedly ramped up production, hiring more than 50,000 workers to meet the expected high demand.
As with every major product launch, the introduction of new color options is likely to be a talking point, and the “Desert Titanium” color is poised to capture the attention of both longtime Apple fans and new customers alike.
