A new leak about the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max has surfaced on social media platform X, revealing the alleged camera rings of the devices. Interestingly, the leak contains information about an alleged new color that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are expected to launch in next month.
Recently, the speculative color options of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max were revealed on test units. In addition to the usual black, white, and gray, there was a new bronze-like color that is said to replace the Blue Titanium color of the current iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Notably, the new bronze or gold-like color has also been leaked before.
Now, Majin Bu’s latest tip allegedly reveals that Apple might call this new color “Desert Titanium.” The source further notes that the “Desert Titanium color is a kind of dark gold, similar to the old purple color, relatively subtle and deep.”
Overall, the iPhone 16 Pro lineup is available in four colors: white, black, gold and gray.

The “old purple color” mentioned by Majin Bu refers to the Deep Purple color of the iPhone 14 Pro, which was also muted and deep. So according to the information, the “Desert Titanium” color will replace the “Blue Titanium” color and join the White Titanium, Black Titanium (which is much deeper this year), and Natural Titanium.
New color options for the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus were also leaked in a hands-on video, and they look funky and vibrant. This year, Apple is expected to use color-infused glass in all iPhone 16 series models, which could explain the frosted or muted effect of the new “Desert Titanium” color.
Rumors also say that the iPhone 16 Pro’s screen bezels will be the thinnest of any smartphone. There are also rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro could feature a 5x optical zoom camera, which was previously reserved for the Max models.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 16 series a few days earlier this year, reportedly on September 10. In preparation, Foxconn, Apple’s main iPhone assembler in China, has reportedly hired over 50,000 workers with increased base salaries and bonuses to meet increased demand.
