Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 series by the end of this year, and we've heard rumours about the potential iPhone 18 Pro colours. Well, it appears that the potential iPhone 18 Pro Max colourways have surfaced in the wild yet again, but this time in real life and not in renders.

iPhone 18 Pro Max's Potential Colours are Here

The leaked pictures arrive courtesy of a Korean Blog, courtesy of user Lanzuk. The user shared three real-life pictures of a person holding the aluminium frames of all potential colours of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max smartphone – Dark Cherry, Cloudy Blue and Black.

For those unaware, previous iPhone 18 Pro leaks have suggested Apple phones could opt for a Cherry Red colour, which was previously leaked as Burgundy. The Cloudy Blue option looks great with a slightly darker blue hue on the SIM card trays. However, the previously leaked Silver option is nowhere to be seen.

This is followed by a standard Black option, which is, well, a regular black colourway—nothing to write home about. The leaked frames also suggest Apple is sticking to the camera bar and layout, and that the internal cutouts for the MagSafe magnets, the Taptic Engine, and the speakers remain largely identical to the previous generation.

That said, more iPhone 18 series information is starting to surface as we're getting closer to the potential launch date. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro battery capacities were leaked recently, confirming a minuscule increase in the overall capacity.

The same was preceded by reports about Apple shrinking the Dynamic Island by 25% and packing its latest C2 modem alongside the A20 Pro chipset. It is also believed that Apple may end up absorbing the costs of the current crisis, and the iPhone 18 Pro could launch at the same price as the iPhone 17 Pro.

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 series in September 2026, and the series could get a new addition, i.e., the iPhone Fold, which is rumoured to be called the iPhone Ultra. More details about the upcoming iPhones should surface as we inch closer to launch, so stay tuned.
