Apple brings back dark black for the iPhone 16 Pro
A new leak claims to show dummy iPhone 16 Pro models in all their colors, which will now include a matte black option.
Claimed dummy models of the iPhone 16 Pro
Following the leak of colors and camera rearrangement for the iPhone 16 range, leaker Sonny Dickson has now released the same detail for the forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro.

A previous report claimed that Apple's iPhone 16 Pro -- and the iPhone 16 Pro Max -- will come in Space Black, White, Gray, and Rose. This new one shows only three versions, white, black and natural Titanium.
The existing iPhone 15 Pro range includes all three of these -- plus blue -- but from the leaked image, it appears that the iPhone 16 Pro will include a much darker matt black finish. It appears similar to the black used in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus back in 2016.
As far as can be seen from the image, the white iPhone 16 Pro appears to be the same shade or strength of color as the current version, and of course the natural titanium is.
Leaker Sonny Dickson does not make any comment about the image, and so does not claim that this is the complete lineup. It's still possible, therefore, that a fourth color will be available, and most recent rumors point to it being rose or pink.
Dickson has a reasonable record for accuracy. In March 2024, he showed what claimed to be proof that the iPhone 16 range would include a Capture button.

Yes I’m sure they do. But they sure seems to shy away from colour on the Pro line. That said there was an article here yesterday that said there might be a bronze colour, which could be nice depending on the shade. But the Pro line seems to be very toned down, buttoned down, and businesslike. I’d love a nice purple, or maybe a dark metallic green.
I do find it funny. So many people will say they don’t care about the colour of the phone because they put it in a case anyway. Maybe they put them in a colourful case because the stock colours aren’t that great.
models. And yeah, many of us remember when cars had vibrant colors and sheen, speckles, pinstripes, etc. That said, there are a handful of vehicles today that have some interesting colors.
William is British, where the spelling of matte is different than in the US. The correct spelling is "matt" in this case.
2) The British spell matt without an 'e.'
Therefore William has spelled matt correctly.
It's matte, not Matte.
Not if it is an American website.
The US uses American Standard English , not what the Brits use.
Re: colors, if you're talking about pigment black is technically all the color you can have, and if you're talking about light white is the same, so Apple covered their bases here ;-)
