iPhone 16 Pro's New 'Desert Titanium' Gold Color

The impending release of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max has sparked discussions about their color offerings, according to Tom's Guide. Aside from the anticipated usual shades of black, white silver, and gray, a distinct fourth color is generating buzz. Leaked info and rumors suggest this mystery color, possibly called ‘Desert Titanium,’ will be a unique gold that Mark Gurman, a reputable Apple insider, believes will stand out for its impressive look rather than the criticized brown tones of early renders.

This anticipated gold shade is expected to be a darker version, aligning well with Apple's typical Pro-series color palette of subtle, sophisticated hues. Hints from a Dubai-based retailer's teaser video also point toward a coffee-like shade that melds gold and brown tones, possibly due to Apple's penchant for less flashy, more refined colors.

Adding to the speculation, various leakers have diverged on just how gold this new color will be. While Majin Bu suggests a discreet dark gold, Sonny Dickson offers a caramel-esque variation, with 9to5Mac showcasing a lighter gold, likened to the muted tones of the new Kim Kardashian Beats Studio Pro headphones, reflecting an Apple trend following their acquisition of Beats.

Further differentiating itself, the iPhone 16 Pro's hardware is expected to feature enhanced functionalities: a gap for a capture button on new cases facilitating quickfire video shooting alongside an improved A18 chipset and AI focus are hints of expected upgrades.
