iPhone 16 Pro may finally get a pink-ish color with new 'rose' color rumor

And, no, it's not a 'rose gold' color either.

Fans of pink colored smartphones, rejoice.

According to multiple Apple analysts and leakers, a rose iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is coming in September when Apple's new smartphone line launches.

This would mark the first time that a Pro model iPhone was offered in pink since the iPhone 6 line was launched with a "rose gold" color in 2015.

The latest source of news comes from an Apple leaker from the China-based social media platform Weibo. The supply chain leaker, known as OvO Baby Sauce OvO, says that the new color option for the iPhone 16 Pro is called "rose." The leaker also emphasized that it's not the same as the previous "rose gold" option.

This same leaker also previously claimed that the Blue Titanium-colored iPhone Pro models will likely be dropped from the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup to make room for the rose model.

According to MacRumors, this latest leak backs up a previous report from well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who said that both the iPhone 16 Pro and ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max would be available in "black, white or silver, gray or 'Natural Titanium,' and rose."

With Apple launching a newly designed titanium device with the iPhone 15 Pro last year, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro will be the first titanium "rose" colored iPhone.

Currently, consumers who want a pink-colored iPhone must settle for the base model iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus, which offer a light-pink finish.

Now, it seems that Apple fans who want the most premium model iPhone with all the pro features and a pink chassis will finally get their wish.
