Known for its strategic colour choices that often become highly sought-after, Apple appears to be introducing a deep, bronze hue that might replace the Blue Titanium featured in the iPhone 15 Pro lineup.

The leak comes from prominent tech insider Majin Bu, who shared an image of the camera rings for the iPhone 16 Pro on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

The photo showcases the device’s color options: white, black, gray, and gold. However, what’s capturing attention is the gold variant, which Majin Bu identified as Desert Titanium. Described as a dark gold shade, this new color is expected to have a subtle and sophisticated aesthetic, drawing comparisons to the Deep Purple option seen in the iPhone 14 Pro.

Earlier reports speculated that the iPhone 16 Pro might feature a Rose Gold color, but this is now the second time sources have pointed to a bronze-inspired hue instead.

Additionally, the image leaked by Majin Bu supports earlier claims that Apple will adopt a polished finish for the iPhone 16 Pro.

There are four colors in total in the iPhone 16 Pro Lineup: white, black, gold and gray.

While the new color is generating buzz, it’s not the only update expected for the iPhone 16 Pro. Reports indicate that all devices in the iPhone 16 series will include the Action button, first introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro.

Another anticipated addition is a new capture button designed to enhance the phone’s photography capabilities. Rumor has it that this button will not only take pictures but also help focus the camera with a light press.

Perhaps the most significant innovation coming to the iPhone 16 series is the integration of Apple Intelligence across all models. Currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, this advanced AI system is expected to bring a range of enhancements, including an improved Siri, Genmoji, and other AI-driven features.
