Instant Digital, the Apple leaker on Weibo, has previously shared accurate information in previous iPhone leaks and therefore their claim that Apple has no plans to release a black iPhone 18 Pro carries weight for buyers tracking color availability.
iPhone 18 Pro colors
Mark Gurman previously reported that Apple is working on a Deep Red color offering for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models and Instant Digital published the one-word quote "Deep Red," which together place Deep Red as the leading rumored premium finish for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max while other reporting indicates the iPhone 18 base will likely still come in black, creating a split where only the non‑Pro model is expected to offer the standard black finish.
