Apple Rumored to Launch iPhone 16 Pro in New 'Rose' Color This Year

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a brand-new 'Rose' color for the iPhone 16 Pro, according to a fresh rumor that originated in China. However, it is yet unknown whether or not this hue will be the sole unique color the company will produce this year, in addition to the standard Black and White color options. It is pretty likely that Apple will go ahead with the color option discussed earlier, even though this is not the first time we have heard details about the hue.

The information was disseminated by the Weibo-based leaker known as OvO Baby Sauce Ovo, who asserted that the iPhone 16 Pro might be available in a new color option that will be pretty distinct from the ones that have been presented in the past. In prior years, Apple has utilized strong color selections with a darker tint, at least for the 'Pro' models; however, it looks like the corporation is choosing to go in a different direction this time.

That said, the source asserts that the new color option is referred to as "Rose" rather than Rose Gold, which Apple initially released with the iPhone 6S in 2015. This indicates that we can observe a significant distinction between the two hues. It is also possible to guess that the new color would be closer to red, as was previously speculated; however, the rumor did not catch on because it was never heard again after it was initially proposed.

An Apple expert named Ming-Chi Kuo had previously mentioned the color rose when describing his expectations for the complete list. According to the expert, Apple will continue to allow customers to choose from the same color options, which include Rose, Black, White, and Natural Titanium. Kuo discontinued the Blue Titanium color option and introduced a new one. Additionally, the Weibo source has said in the past that the new red color choice will be included in the composition of the mix.

Although these are the color options for the iPhone 16 Pro models, we also have speculations from Ming-Chi Kuo regarding the ordinary lineup of iPhones. White, blue, black, pink, and green are among the colors that are believed to be available with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. At this point, it is not obvious how much of a difference there will be between the rose color on the iPhone 16 Pro and the pink hue featured on the traditional model.

We believe that the iPhone 16 Pro's rose color will be a more intense shade of red, with the same level of color saturation as the Blue Titanium color. One more piece of evidence that supports this theory is that the manufacturer chooses to use lighter tones for the ordinary models, while the 'Pro' models are often offered in deeper tones.
