Description:
The iPhone 14 line could get at least one new shade and also lose some.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The iPhone 14 line is almost here, with a launch expected in September, and
as such lots of rumors about the colors of Apple's forthcoming phones have emerged.

While nothing is certain just yet, we now have an idea of all of the shades
we might see the iPhone 14 arrive in, along with the iPhone 14 Max, the
iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max .

Below, we look at all the iPhone 14 color rumors weve heard so far, including how likely certain colors are to actually arrive in the coming weeks. We're also exploring which colors that are likely to be dropped this year too. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max colors

Below youll find the colors that weve heard the iPhone 14 might be available in at launch. Its worth noting that, in most cases, the iPhone 14 Max hasnt been mentioned, but based on past form, wed expect this larger model to land in the same selection of shades as the standard iPhone 14, much like the iPhone 13 mini is currently available in the same colors as the iPhone 13 .

Purple could be a new shade for the iPhone 14 this year, as the iPhone 13
isnt available in a purple hue at all. Being a new shade, its a color were less sure of than some, but it has been leaked at least twice.

First, a post on Weibo a Chinese social network from a user going by Oivo sauce ovo claimed that wed see a purple shade that could shift in tone depending on the lighting.

The post has since been deleted, but not before it was spotted by AppleTrack
. However, this source doesnt have much of a track record with leaks; so take the promise of a color-shifting iPhone with a pinch of salt.

More recently though, @Jioriku also claimed on Twitter that there will be a purple shade, though they didnt mention whether it will shift in tone or not.

We hope a purple shade is planned though, as were big fans of colorful phones and the purple iPhone 12 , along with the new Bora Purple finish available on the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 are all stunning. Green An iPhone 13 in green (Image credit: Apple)

Green is another rumored shade and its another one that were not at all sure of, as while the iPhone 13 is available in green, so far weve only seen one source mention the iPhone 14 in this same color.

That source is the aforementioned @Jioriku another source who doesnt have much of a track record. So we wouldnt count on seeing a green iPhone 14, but we also wouldnt count it out, and as with purple, its a shade wed really like to see. Black An iPhone 13 in black (Image credit: Apple)

Although the closest current iPhone 13 color is called Midnight (which is, in fact, very dark blue), black is a color we fully expect to see offered on the iPhone 14, because its one of the most popular smartphone colors there is.

At least two sources the two mentioned above have suggested that a black shade is planned and although its not a color were terribly thrilled by, its
a safe, understated choice that looks smart and will appeal to many. White An iPhone 13 in Starlight (Image credit: Apple)

As with black, white or its closest neighbor, Starlight, as it will probably officially be called is a color Apple offers in its current line-up, and
will probably continue to offer with the iPhone 14, as its such a popular smartphone color choice in general.

This too has been leaked by both of the aforementioned sources, so its a highly likely one. Blue An iPhone 13 in blue (Image credit: Apple)

The same two sources have also mentioned a blue shade, and this is another shade that youll also find available on the iPhone 13 though reportedly the iPhone 14s blue might be more of a sky blue than the dark, deep shade found
on the iPhone 13.

Wed say this color is less likely than black or white since its less of a standard shade, but given that its available on current iPhones and has been rumored by multiple sources theres a good chance well see it.

We're just curious to know where such a color would land tonally, as the last few generations of iPhone have all experimented with different shades of blue across models. Red An iPhone 13 in red (Image credit: Apple)

Apple loves red almost as much as it loves black and white, so a red iPhone
14 was always very likely and that's especially plausible here because its been mentioned by the two sources above.

Expect this to be a bright shade, officially called PRODUCT(RED), with sales in this color contributing to the fight against global health emergencies, such as AIDS and COVID-19. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max colors

Below youll find rumored iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max colors, some of which may be the same as those offered on the standard iPhone 14, but many of which will likely be different. Gold or Rose Gold An iPhone 13 Pro in gold (Image credit: Apple)

At least three sources have suggested well see the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone
14 Pro Max in some shade of gold, but while the first of these leaker Jon Prosser pointed to rose gold , the other two those mentioned above simply describe it as 'gold'.

Right now were not sure which is more accurate, but wed think just gold is most likely, as the iPhone 13 Pro is available already in gold, and the sources saying gold are the more recent.

Wed think one or the other is highly likely though, since Apple has form with both these shades and multiple sources increases the possibility of such a finish actually being amid the lineup.

If it is just gold rather than rose gold though, expect it to be quite an understated, almost muted shade, going by past form. Purple (Image credit:

Weve heard about purple as a new shade for every iPhone 14 model, including the Pro ones; though wed think it would likely be darker or paler on the Pro models, since Apple tends to keep those phones smart and understated.

Both @Jioriku and the Weibo source mentioned above have pointed to purple, as has leaker Jon Prosser, who even went so far as to share unofficial renders
of how it might look in a Front Page Tech video . You can see one of these above, showing a distinctly pale purple, less saturated than the purple on 2021's iPhone 12/12 Mini. Green An iPhone 13 Pro in Alpine Green (Image credit: Apple)

The same source who mentioned a green iPhone 14 also said well get a green iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max too, so this is another color possibility. If all these phones do get it, then wed think the Pro models wont have as bright a green as the standard and Max versions, but thats just speculation for now.

Currently, only one source has mentioned this shade, so were not at all confident in its appearance, though Alpine Green is an option for the iPhone 13 Pro line, so we might see a variation on this existing theme for 2022. Graphite An iPhone 13 Pro in Graphite (Image credit: Apple)

Graphite has been name-checked by both @Jioriku and Oivo sauce ovo, on top of which its also a color you can get the iPhone 13 Pro line in, so wed think this one is very likely.

Its essentially the Pro lines alternative to black, offering a dark and
smart, but frankly boring color. Silver An iPhone 13 Pro in silver (Image credit: Apple)

Silver is another color you can get the iPhone 13 Pro in and its another one thats been mentioned by the same two sources as most of these other shades,
so theres a high chance this will be offered on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro
Max, as well.

Its quite a pale silver on current models and the closest thing to white sorry, Starlight you can get on the iPhone 13 Pro, so expect the same again this year. What colors will be missing?

The colors above, while not guaranteed account, for the right number of
shades on each phone, as there are six rumored for the iPhone 14 and iPhone
14 Max, and five for the Pro models, which is a match for the iPhone 13 line.

All of which is to say, this could well be the complete and final selection
of colors we see. So which shades won't make the cut?

Well, if these leaks hold water, then we probably wont see pink on the iPhone 14, with that seemingly being replaced by a new purple shade. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, meanwhile, might lack the Sierra Blue shade that you can get the iPhone 13 Pro in, with that also possibly being replaced by purple.

So, the only totally new color this year might be purple, if these leaks turn out to be accurate, but dont be surprised if some of the other colors are offered in different tones to their predecessors, which you can see above or in our iPhone 13 colors guide.
