New iPhone 16 Pro color is actually Gold, not Brown, latest leak suggests

The iPhone 16 Pro Max leaked earlier this month in a weird Brownish color, throwing everyone off. It had a bronze-like hue and while it had its fans it wasn’t exactly universally loved.

However, according to one leakster who posted images of the lenses with their colors the color will actually be closer to Gold. The new option will not quite be the copper hue the original images suggested, and more like the Sahara desert sand.

All of the colors will be named Titanium – white, Black, Gray, or Gold – which means the Natural and Blue options are being dumped from the roster. We are still waiting to see what happened with the rumored Rose Option, which may or may not be replaced by this new Gold variant.

Expectations are that the colors of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be more muted, unlike the iPhone 16 series, where brighter choices will be available – Blue, Green, and Pink.

We can also see the dual camera in aligned vertically, which is something we haven’t seen since the iPhone 12 from 2020. Also, the square camera island is gone, which will be a first since the iPhone X and iPhone XS series from over half a decade ago.
