The brand new finishes for iPhone 16 Professional
It is 2024 iPhone launch day, and we bought our fingers on all the brand new iPhone 16 Professional colours to check. Here is what they’re like outdoors of Apple’s pristine advertising photographs.
This yr’s batch of iPhone 16 Professional telephones technically acquired 4 new finishes, however essentially the most notable is the Desert Titanium that has changed the outgoing blue hue.
Now the 4 titanium colours within the vary are the aforementioned Desert, White, Black, and Pure. Let’s take a better look.
Naturally, everybody goes to have their favourite — though Tim Cook dinner would once more in all probability reward all of them equally — however personally, we’re loving the brand new white one. It is a lot brighter and cleaner than earlier than.
The brand new white could be very brilliant and clear
It has been ages since we have truly seen a real white for the Professional fashions, which makes it much more welcome. It harkens again to the times of the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s, and we’re right here for it.
On this white mannequin, the edges are brilliant silver which have a uniform matte end. That compares properly to the comb look final yr or the shiny ones we noticed previous to that.

Subsequent we’ve the pure titanium, which, frankly, matches the final mannequin virtually precisely. We in contrast these within the Apple Retailer and it was perhaps a hair darker.
Simply to show the purpose, we photographed the iPhone 15 Professional Max in pure titanium. It is indistinguishable from the iPhone 16 Professional Max, at the very least in shade. Clearly the brand new mannequin has the Digicam Management button, but it surely’s the identical shade as final yr’s model.
The brand new iPhone 16 Professional Max in desert titanium
Regardless of our choice for white, it is in all probability desert titanium that’s the most attention-grabbing, or at the very least essentially the most anticipated, as a result of it’s the solely wholly new shade within the vary.
“Desert” is an effective identify. However we might describe it extra as titanium with a slight copper tint.
It seems nice total, nonetheless, and it will also be very delicate relying on the lighting. Within the Apple Retailer’s brilliant lights, for example, we could not even determine the desert titanium mannequin till it was subsequent to the others.
The desert titanium shade is extra delicate in some mild than others
Again within the studio, although, it grew to become far more obvious beneath pure lighting. Heat mild brings out the nice and cozy hues of the Desert Titanium end.
So it is new, it is delicate, and it seems nice. We will simply see why so many individuals have gravitated to this new choice.
The black is darker than earlier than
Lastly, there was the brand new black titanium. In an identical method to the white mannequin, Apple took an present shade and improved moderately than modified it.
So now the black titanium iPhone 16 Professional and iPhone 16 Professional Max is a real black. It is not the darkish grey shade it was earlier than.

All of those colours feel and appear fairly premium, if a bit muted. Apple seemingly would not consider that what it calls Professional units ought to are available vivid colours.
As an alternative, colours are extra the protect of the common fashions. So the place the iPhone 16 Professional vary is available in three muted colours, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are available ultramarine blue, teal, pink, white, and black.
