Apple iPhone 15 Professional Max in pure titanium.

March 29 replace beneath. This publish was first printed on March 26,2024.
Proper now, the 15 Professional and 15 Professional Max are available 4 colours, all with the phrase titanium in them. There’s pure titanium, blue titanium, white titanium and black titanium.
Based on a brand new rumor on Weibo, picked up by leaker ShrimpApplePro on X, a type of colours are going to fade this fall and the opposite three can be modfied. It is a greater change than many had anticipated: prior to now, the vary of colours within the Professional sequence has stayed the identical for a number of years, or one additional hero colour has been added.
So, what’s deliberate for 2024?
Based on the leak, blue titanium and pure titanium won’t be continued into the subsequent sequence of iPhones. They’ll be dropped utterly.
You might have noticed final fall that there was no gold iPhone within the Professional vary, the primary time for the reason that iPhone X launched. From the iPhone Xs onwards, gold was a part of the colour vary.
The leak claims that rose can be one of many colours within the iPhone 16 Professional’s wardrobe and would be the solely utterly new shade on supply. Rose could also be as near gold as we’re going to get, for now, at the least. Apple has had a number of rose gold shades earlier than and it could be that rose on a titanium antenna band could have a golden luster.
The second colour can be grey, which can be a model of the pure titanium we’ve seen within the iPhone 15 Professional vary. Personally, I really like the pure titanium, so I hope they don’t change it an excessive amount of from that.
White titanium is attractive and that’s persevering with, however it seems prefer it’s going to be barely tweaked as effectively. If you happen to thought white is white is white, possibly Apple can persuade you it might probably change the hue.
And at last, there’s area black, which can exchange the present black possibility. House black is a favourite Apple shade, and could be the perennial bestseller. However the title suggests it’s going to be a darker shade of black, or maybe an optical phantasm created by a unique stage of shine in it.
If you happen to’re disillusioned by how discreet these colours are going to be, do not forget that the present Professional crop can also be demurely understated, and the (barely) brighter colours are stored for the iPhone 15 vary. Maybe this yr’s telephones will mirror that.
Extra as we now have it.
March 29 replace. A brand new leak has urged that the iPhone 16 Professional and iPhone 16 Professional Max will incorporate one other new design change and it’s one that may doubtless have an effect on how the colours look, too. This leak suggests we might see: a unique end for the titanium edge band.
As you’ll know, the brushed end on the sides of the iPhone 15 Professional and iPhone 15 Professional Max are probably the most admired modifications that got here when Apple switched the Professional antenna band to titanium. Now, in keeping with a information aggregator account on the Naver weblog referred to as yeux1122, and noticed by Tim Hardwick at MacRumors, this fall’s Professional fashions will use an improved course of for ending and coloring the titanium. The consequence will apparently be a shiny look as an alternative of brushed, trying extra just like the shiny end that was the trademark of chrome steel bands on some iPhones for the reason that iPhone X. The elevated toughness of titanium ought to imply the bands received’t be liable to scratches. Nonetheless, there’s no indication of the way it will deal with fingerprints, one thing which the brushed end retains to a minimal.
I feel this variation may very well be controversial: I really like the brushed end for its understated, elegant look, so I shall be sorry to see it go. Perhaps it received’t be on all colours. We’ll see.
