Apple officially revealed the new color lineup for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at its September 9, 2026 event, and the biggest surprise was the return of Black after a full year's absence — alongside the retirement of two colors that were fan favorites last generation. Here's a full breakdown of the four iPhone 18 Pro Max colors, how they compare to iPhone 17 Pro Max, and how to pick the right one for you.

What Are the New iPhone 18 Pro Colors?

Apple officially confirmed 4 colors for both iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max:

  • Black — returns to the Pro lineup after being absent from iPhone 17 Pro for one full generation.

  • Silver — the only color carried over unchanged from last year.

  • Glacier — an entirely new light, icy blue, cooler and paler than last year's Deep Blue.

  • Burgundy — this generation's signature color, a deep wine-red shade with purple undertones, succeeding Cosmic Orange.

iPhone 18 Pro Max Colors

The exact same four colors (Black, Silver, Glacier, Burgundy) are available across iPhone 18 Pro Max as well — choosing the larger Max size doesn't limit your color options this year, despite pre-launch rumors suggesting Black might be exclusive to one size.

What's the New Color on iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max?

The standout, brand-new color this year is Burgundy — a deep cherry-red shade (Pantone 6076) with purple undertones, positioned as the successor to iPhone 17 Pro's Cosmic Orange. The second new addition is Glacier, a light icy blue that replaces last year's darker Deep Blue, closer in tone to the "Mist Blue" seen on the standard iPhone 17.

In short: Apple swapped last year's two boldest colors (orange and deep blue) for two new ones (glacier and burgundy), while bringing back the classic black finish that skipped the Pro lineup for exactly one generation.

How to Choose the Right iPhone 18 Pro Color for You

  • Black: Best if you want a classic, understated look that never goes out of style and works with any outfit or accessory.

  • Silver: A neutral, practical pick that hides fingerprints better than darker finishes.

  • Glacier: Great if you want something distinct but calm, especially paired with light-colored accessories.

  • Burgundy: The go-to choice if you want a phone that stands out without being over the top — ideal for anyone who wants their device to feel different from everyone else's.
