iPhone 18 Pro camera leak just gave us our best look at all 4 colors coming in September

Macworld iphone 17 color mockups with blue, black and dark cherry.

We've been hearing a bunch of rumors about iPhone 18 Pro colors recently promising us four separate shades for this year's flagship Apple device. For those who may be staying skeptical, a brand new leak might have just given us our best look yet at the different color options landing later this year.

The leak in question comes from a Korean blog, alleging to have photos of iPhone 18 Pro camera covers from the Chinese social media site Weibo. It's not the first time we've seen colored iPhone 18 Pro camera protectors leak, but these images are a lot clearer than the last batch we saw.

The colors listed include Silver, Dark Gray, Dark Cherry and "Cloud Blue." That tracks with what we've heard before, though this is the first time I can recall seeing the Cloud Blue moniker. Past leaks claimed that a lighter blue color was coming and likened it to the Mist Blue iPhone 17 released last year. It was never given a true Apple-sounding name, though, and Cloud Blue certainly fits the bill.

It's worth noting that these camera covers are not made by Apple itself and instead come from a third-party accessory maker. They're also made from glass, rather than metal, and both these things mean there may well be some color variations compared to the actual phones.

There's also no guarantee that any of these names are official. But the leaks do give us an idea of what to expect from the iPhone 18 Pro's design.

What about the iPhone Fold and iPhone 18?

Interestingly, we still haven't seen any colored accessories for the iPhone Fold yet. Rumor has it that the foldable will be available in two shades, white and dark blue, but we haven't actually seen any examples of either color. While white is white, regardless of what the paint companies might have you believe, dark blue could mean anything — especially since the leaks recently referred to the shade as "indigo."

iPhone 18 color rumors have also been noticeably absent, though there may be a very good reason for that. Leaks suggest that Apple is holding off on releasing the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 until sometime in early 2027. With an extra five or six months before their inevitable launch, it makes perfect sense that we haven't heard anything about possible color options.

No doubt we'll be seeing and hearing more about the iPhone Fold colors as we approach the September launch event. As for the iPhone 18, you're just going to have to be patient and wait a little longer. Apple is prioritizing the Pro and Foldable options this year, and that means your entry-level model is apparently not as important.
