We recently reported on rumors hinting that theiPhone 15 will be offered in an exclusive mint green color, and we’re now hearing thatApple’s next vanilla model could bring back another fan favorite iPhone shade.
According to serial Apple leakerShrimpApplePro, the standardiPhone 15will be available in pink; a color option we last saw offered on theiPhone 13. If true, we now expect the full list ofiPhone 15 colorsto include Midnight, Starlight, green, yellow, pink, and Product (RED).
ShrimpApplePro’sintelcomes from a Foxconn employee who claims to have seen “green, light yellow and pink” iPhone 15 models in the flesh. Foxconn is Apple’s primary iPhone manufacturing partner, so we’re inclined to trust the reliability of their source – especially since we’ve heardmentionof a pink iPhone 15 once before.
As for what sort of pink we’re talking about here, the jury is out. The iPhone 13 was offered in a salmon-like pastel pink, so Apple may choose to simply roll out the same color on the iPhone 15 line. However, given the online hysteria surrounding Greta Gerwig’s upcomingBarbiemovie, we wouldn’t put it past the company to offer the iPhone 15 in a deeper, brighter, hotter, more traditionally pink pink.
Suffice to say, fans are hoping for the latter. “The hot pink iPhone 15 will sell like hot cakes, people have been asking for this colour for years,” wrote oneTwitter userin response to the new color rumor, whileanotherwrote: “If Apple actually releases the iPhone 15 in hot pink, I would literally kill to get one.” Yikes.
For theiPhone 15 ProandiPhone 15 Pro Max,we’ve long heard that this year’s Pro-exclusive color will be dark red, and a recent Weibo post (via9to5Mac) further suggests as much by claiming that both phones will indeed be available in a “crimson” shade. This dark red hue “may be a little lighter” than the Deep Purple color currently featured on theiPhone 14 Pro, the Weibo leaker notes, “but still very deep.”
We’re also expecting the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to be offered in Apple’s standard premium colors: silver, gold, and one of either Graphite, Space Gray or Space Black.

For context, the standardiPhone 14launched in five colors – Midnight, Starlight, Product (RED), blue, and purple – with an additional color option,yellow, arriving six months later. The iPhone 14 Pro andiPhone 14 Pro Maxlaunched in four colors: Space Black, silver, gold, and Deep Purple.
In any case, we don’t have long to wait until Apple officially unveils its iPhone 15 line. We’re expecting the company to stick with tradition and debut the next generation of itsbest iPhonesin September this year, with September 5 or 12 looking like the most likely launch dates.
