You’ll be able to already get the iPhone 14 in 5 totally different colours, nevertheless it appears very seemingly that there’ll quickly be a sixth possibility to select from. 

Mark Gurman (opens in new tab) – a good Bloomberg journalist and leaker – has claimed (by way of MacRumors (opens in new tab)) that “a brand new iPhone 14 shade is certainly imminent.” Gurman has an outstanding observe report, so we’re inclined to consider them, and whereas they didn’t get particular about what this new iPhone shade can be, we are able to make our personal educated guess.

You see, this isn’t the primary we’ve heard of a brand new iPhone 14 shade. Just some days in the past, one other supply advised that the iPhone 14 would quickly be obtainable in a yellow shade.

Whereas the latter supply doesn’t have Gurman’s observe report, MacRumors (opens in new tab) claims to have heard from a number of sources that Apple has a product briefing deliberate for this week. As such, we could be nearly sure that Apple has an imminent announcement to make, and it’s most likely to do with a brand new iPhone 14 shade, with yellow being the almost certainly possibility.

There’s additionally kind for this on Apple’s half, as a inexperienced shade was launched for the iPhone 13 this time final 12 months, and a purple shade for the iPhone 12 the 12 months earlier than that.

We hope it truly is yellow that’s deliberate for the iPhone 14 this 12 months, as a result of aside from crimson, all the present shades are fairly pale and understated, so we might use extra shiny colours. In fact, the yellow is perhaps a pale yellow, too, nevertheless it’s nonetheless more likely to be extra showy than the likes of white and black.

Oh, and if the iPhone 14 is getting a brand new shade, then the identical shade will nearly actually come to the iPhone 14 Plus as effectively, for the reason that two telephones are at present obtainable in an similar choice of shades. What’s much less clear is whether or not the iPhone 14 Professional and iPhone 14 Professional Max will likely be obtainable in a brand new shade, too. If they’re, it is perhaps a barely totally different shade.

Evaluation: when will this new shade launch?

We are able to solely guess at which day, precisely, Apple will make this announcement, although (as talked about) we all know it’s going to occur someday this week.

That mentioned, Apple tends to want saying issues on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Certainly, the inexperienced shade final 12 months was unveiled on a Tuesday, and so was the purple the 12 months earlier than, so Tuesday is our greatest guess.

It’s Tuesday now on the time of writing, so the brand new iPhone 14 shade’s arrival actually may very well be imminent, and can hopefully add some much-needed brightness to the present choice of iPhone 14 colours.
