Apple usually saves its brightest colors for its standard iPhone models and offers more subtle color options for its iPhone Pro series. This trend is expected to continue with the upcoming iPhone 16 series. However, a new rumor suggests that Apple will introduce an interesting new color for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max that will likely attract attention.

A well-known leaker, Sonny Dickson, shared the image above that likely depicts dummy units for four upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models. One of these models is labeled as “bronze,” although Apple may name it something like “rose” or “gold,” similar to names used for previous iPhones and iPads, albeit for varying shades. This new color is expected to accompany more traditional white, silver, and black hues for the iPhone 16 Pro models.

In recent years, Apple has frequently released at least one unique color option for its iPhone Pro lineup. For instance, the iPhone 15 Pro was launched with a Blue Titanium model in addition to Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. The iPhone 14 Pro series introduced a purple version, and the iPhone 13 Pro debuted with a Sierra Blue option, with Apple adding an Alpine Green option midyear.

As a longtime buyer of the iPhone Pro, I would consider purchasing a bronze iPhone 16 Pro Max, as I have long grown tired of getting a new iPhone in white or black, although I did buy the White Titanium option for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Another note about Dickson’s leak is the look at the iPhone 16 Pro black model. It’s noticeably darker than the Black Titanium version of the iPhone 15 Pro, which could be a nice change.

Apple is set to unveil its latest iPhone models at an upcoming press event. Four options — the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max — are anticipated to be revealed.

The announcement for the iPhone 16 series is expected to follow soon after Labor Day in the U.S., which falls on Monday, September 2 this year. Expected updates to this year’s phones include larger displays and improved charging specifications for the Pro models, redesigned rear cameras for the non-Pro models, and more.

Five reasons I’m excited for the new Google Pixel 9a

Google has consistently ranked among the best smartphones for its affordable devices over the past six years, particularly with its Pixel A series. The Pixel 3a set the trend for major phone manufacturers to provide a compelling experience at half the price of flagship models, intensifying competition in this segment.

In the last three months, we’ve seen Samsung introduce the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy A36, which deliver features from the Galaxy S25 series at a significantly lower price point. Then there’s Apple, which entered the market with the iPhone 16e, priced considerably higher than its rivals. Additionally, Nothing offers the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro, arguably the best phones available at $379 and $459, respectively.

The iPhone 16e made me face a hard truth about mobile cameras
OuttaFocus: The iPhone 16e made me face a hard truth about mobile cameras.

I’ve spent a few days taking photos with the Apple iPhone 16e, which has a single camera on the back. One, solitary lens on the back of a current smartphone makes it look rather old school, and somewhat under equipped next to the multi-lens competition. But instead of feeling short changed by the iPhone 16e, it made me face a hard truth. I don’t need a wide-angle camera on my phone as much as I think I do.
One camera is better?

Wide-angle cameras have been a staple addition on smartphones since the days of the LG G5. Most have a 120-degree field of view, allowing us to capture photos of vistas to help convey scale in a way cameras with a narrower field of view cannot. It’s normal and accepted to have a “0.6x” mode in the camera app, and to not see it as an option on the iPhone 16e was quite jarring at first.

Here’s a big reason the ‘iPhone Fold’ will look like an iPad
Concept render of a foldable iPhone in a fully open state.

Apple is expected to launch its first “iPhone Fold” in 2026, several years after rival companies like Samsung and OnePlus have already released their own foldable devices. The reason for Apple’s delay in entering the foldable market is not entirely clear. However, one plausible explanation is that Apple has focused on ensuring the device offers a seamless transition between the outer and inner displays.

This week, it was reported that Apple plans to use a liquid metal hinge in the iPhone Fold. This innovation aims to enhance durability and reduce the visibility of the display crease. Creasing was a significant issue for early foldable devices, such as the first Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, but it has improved considerably over the years.
