News Summary

• Bloomberg reported back in February that Apple was considering a new deep red color option for the iPhone 18 Pro, which some have described as crimson.
• A leaker with a decent track record is today backing this report, though is doing this in a slightly odd way which may or may not mean anything.
• Gurman said in the original report that it wasn’t clear whether the new color would replace Cosmic Orange or instead be an additional option.Given the success of orange, I wouldn't be surprised if the company keeps that option around and just adds the red as an additional choice.
• But red and orange might be a little too close on the color wheel to have both.
• We’ll see how this plays out exactly, but I can at least tell you that, as of now, red is the new flagship color in testing for the next iPhone Pros.
