The iPhone 15 Professional rumors are already in full swing greater than six months earlier than its anticipated launch – and whereas it is a bit early for dependable shade leaks, a supply has apparently revealed {that a} new ‘darkish purple’ particular version mannequin is en route.

The brand new rumors from 9to5Mac (opens in new tab), which embrace some barely much less assured predictions about iPhone 15’s new shade choices, counsel that Apple’s subsequent premium mannequin might be obtainable in a crimson-like shade that the positioning has mocked up (beneath) based mostly on its obvious shade hex worth of ‘#410D0D’. 

In an try to draw patrons in the direction of its Professional fashions, Apple does normally launch particular version colours for the vary, which have up to now leant in the direction of extra subdued hues than its normal iPhones. 

The iPhone 12 Professional acquired a Pacific Blue shade, the iPhone 13 Professional arrived in Sierra Blue, whereas the iPhone 14 Professional went a bit additional with Deep Purple and Area Black, which is definitely extra of a darkish gray.

This rumored new darkish purple shade for the iPhone 15 Professional would match into that general subdued theme for the Professional collection, nevertheless it’s additionally removed from a lifeless cert. Firstly, iPhone shade leaks are notoriously hit-and-miss – the iPhone 13 Professional, for instance, was tipped to reach in a bronze-like shade, however that by no means materialized.

It is also very early for these shade rumors to look, as points of the iPhone 15 Professional’s design, together with its shade and end, are unlikely to have been finalized greater than six months from its anticipated launch. For example, a gold model of the iPhone X was created (in keeping with FCC filings), however by no means truly launched.

Nonetheless, that does not imply we aren’t intrigued by this potential new particular version version shade for the iPhone 15 Professional – significantly as there’s an opportunity it might slot into Apple’s Product Pink lineup.

Evaluation: a Professional model of Product Pink?

These iPhone 15 Professional rumors needs to be handled with nice warning, as shade hypothesis would not historically begin till a couple of months earlier than Apple’s conventional September launch occasion. 

However this ‘darkish purple’ hypothesis has acquired us questioning about the way it may match into Apple’s longstanding Product Pink vary – and if it could possibly be the primary iPhone Professional mannequin to be a part of the collection. 

A portion of each Product Pink mannequin that Apple sells goes to the World Fund to battle AIDS and Covid-19. The primary system within the collection was the iPod nano, again in 2006, and the iPhone jumped on board with the iPhone 7 and seven Plus. 

Apple has historically reserved purple hues for these charity editions. However the iPhone Professional line has to date by no means had a Product Pink model, presumably as a result of its colours do not are likely to match the deep purple that is the signature of the collection.

Whereas most Product Pink units have tended to have a largely comparable purple hue, there’s priority for a slight variation – the iPhone 12 and 12 mini’s Product Pink variations had a extra orange or coral tint. So it isn’t not possible that the rumored darkish purple iPhone 15 Professional might see it turn out to be a part of Apple’s charity collection.

Proper now, although, that is pure hypothesis, and we’re extra inclined to belief the opposite iPhone 15 Professional leaks which have surfaced to date – particularly, these suggesting the inclusion of a USB-C port, a brand new titanium physique and a few thinner bezels.
