The launch ofApple’s iPhone 15 line is edging closer, and we’re now beginning to build a clearer picture of theiPhone 15 colorsset to be offered for the soon-to-bebest iPhones.

We’ve long heard that this year’s Pro-exclusive color will be dark red, and a new Weibo post – spotted by9to5Mac– further corroborates this rumor by claiming that theiPhone 15 ProandiPhone 15 Pro Maxwill 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.”

TheiPhone 15and iPhone 15 Plus will reportedly get their own exclusive color option, too. The same Weibo leaker states that Apple will offer both phones in a mint-like green color described as being “close to the green of theiPhone 12andiPhone 11.”

Apple didn’t offer up a green option on theiPhone 14line, so it’s good to hear that the company could be preparing to offer its next vanilla models in this undeniably fresh-sounding shade.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumors of a green iPhone’s return, either. The sameWeibo userwho correctly leaked the existence of theyellow iPhone 14also suggested, back in June, that theiPhone 15 will ship in a Cyan color option.

Sure, cyan is more turquoise than mint green, but leakers are nonetheless in agreement that we’ll be seeing something close to the green of the iPhone 12 return with the iPhone 15.

The iPhone 15 looks set to borrow a handful of other features from previous iPhones, too. According to rumors,all four iPhone 15 models will get slightly curved edges, which is a design decision we haven’t seen Apple take since the days of theiPhone 11.
