iPhone 14 Pro will have purple and blue color options?

The images of the iPhone 14 Pro model that were first shared on Weibo recently show similar gold, Graphite, and silver color options from recent years. Two other color options depicted in the image will be new to the current “Pro” iPhone lineup: deep purple and blue.

It should also be noted that in the leaked images of the iPhone 14 Pro, the yellow and purple models contrast with the frame due to the white color, unlike previous years’ iPhones.

Earlier this year, an important rumor from Weibo said that both iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models will have a new purple color. Weibo claims that the color option, possibly for the iPhone 14 Pro, is the only finish that can change tone based on lighting conditions. The purple option for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro seems reasonable as Apple introduced the purple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini during the mid-cycle refresh last April and received positive feedback from customers. . The 24-inch iMac, sixth-generation iPad mini, and fifth-generation iPad Air are all available in purple.

It’s unclear if the unique purple finish is supposed to have a new effect to change based on lighting conditions, or is simply using the technique behind the iPhone 13 Pro’s Sierra Blue color, altering the appearance. compared to other color options. This is because Apple has adopted a new manufacturing process specific to Sierra Blue, using “multiple layers of nanometer-scale metallic ceramic coated on the surface to create a stunning and durable finish”.

While the dark purple option appearing today has been rumored before, the blue option is new and has not been rumored before.

New product models often don’t exactly represent Apple’s color tone options because they’re often made of plastic, but the on-screen color selection can provide a basic overview of what’s going on. what to expect. Models are used for display, demonstration and testing of accessories such as cases, so the manufacturer strives to provide a relatively accurate overall replacement for the actual physical device.
