Leak shows rumored bronze titanium iPhone 16 Pro
A further leaked image purporting to be of colors for the forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro shows a different selection, this time including bronze.
Image claiming to show colors for the forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro
The addition of a new color to the range was first rumored in late July 2024, when Weibo-user "Fixed Focus Digital" described it in translation as "especially like bronze." The same leaker previously insisted there would be green, white, and purple colors, though most other sources expect a rose-colored option.
In the latest of a series of leaks by Sonny Dickson, however, has again shown an image with no commentary.

The notable element of the image is that, seemingly for the first time, it includes the bronze color. In this shot it appears to be at least a little more brown than bronze, though.
As with the last leak, there is no indication that these four colors are intended to be the only ones available. However, Apple currently offers four colors for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The last leak by Dickson regarding iPhone 16 Pro showed just the three other colors that are in this new image. They are white, black and gray.
Those three colors are already available on the current iPhone 15 Pro range. However, the black edition shown in these recent leaks appears to be a much stronger, deeper color than before.
Apple will announce the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max at an event in September.
Sonny Dickson has tended to concentrate on colors in his leaks, and overall has a reasonable track record. In early 2024, he also showed what he said was evidence that the iPhone 16 Pro would add a Capture button.

Yes, very close to that.
This. More reminiscent of something the cat threw up than anything like "bronze". A real bronze colour would be cool, bu if that is the "bronze" they're going with, I'm gonna want to see it in person before I'd consider it.
Phone keypads are the bane of all phones. As is security. By far Apple has the best in both which is why I gave up my Pixel phones and switched to the iPhone range. I am sort of happy with most aspects of it, except music and pics and file transfers. The latter is like sitting on the bus wedged in between two indigents - transferring between the Mac and the iPhone - and you would think it would be a cinch as both are made by Apple.
The other is the text keypad. Every time I need to type a long message I need to meditate so that I don't flustered and get annoyed.
The Titanium colour on the sides looks good, but the glass looks pretty much as Yucam suggested.
I always buy something other than white, black or gray. But that color to the right is not pleasant. I might have to skip this year if those are the selections and nurse my battery along another year.
Anyhow, if this rumor ends up being true, judgment should be passed with some better product photography or better yet, an in-person visual assessment rather than some dodgy X photo that may or may not be true. With generative AI in 2024, these types of photos can be easily churned out.
More than ever, it's foolhardy to believe everything you read/see on the Internet as fact without doing a minimum of due diligence. Which can't happen before Apple officially announces their next generation iPhone family.
This thread is a good example of assessing who is naive and who isn't.
That one’s mine baby!
I’m writing this on an 11!
This will be a big upgrade for me, but I want the Full AI implementation. I think that’s not until the 17.
Yup, that was my first thought "NOT THE ZUNE!!!!"
