Choosing which color of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro doesn't have to be a chore, even if you have a lot of options We've compiled a list of all the rumored options in one place to make choosing your next iPhone look easy

If you've been following the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max rumors, you'll know that you have quite a few options According to rumors, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will come in seven different color options, while the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have four different options

Note that even if none of these colors appear, it is possible to purchase a case in a color or design that you find more appealing However, looking at the iPhone 15 series, it seems unlikely that Apple will release any more new colors in the spring like they did with the iPhone 14, so there seems to be no point in waiting for a halfway decent color release

But for now, here's what we know about the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro color options

As mentioned above, the iPhone 16 will be available in seven colors overall, five of which are the same as the iPhone 15 Black, pink, blue, yellow, and green will all be similar to their predecessors, while rumor has it that two new colors, white and purple, will be added

If the colors are the same as their predecessors, they are expected to be much brighter For example, the green is closer to a "mint" green and the blue is closer to a sky blue Unfortunately, we do not know what the two new colors will look like, but they will follow a similar trend in that the purple is much brighter It is also possible that the white option will be closer to silver than white

One final note is that the purple and white options are only rumored for the iPhone 16 Plus so far However, since the base and iPhone Plus models usually share color options, it is unlikely that the options will be locked to the Plus model this time around

So far, four colors have been rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, three of which are black, white, and gray However, a fourth color is currently under discussion, which could be either a mix of cement gray and desert yellow or gray and rose

Space Black is reportedly similar to the iPhone 14 Pro Max's Space Black, while White is reminiscent of the silver option seen on the iPhone 14 Pro We do not know what color the gray will be, but it may be similar to the iPhone 15 Pro Max's Natural Titanium Sadly, there is no indication that the Blue Titanium color will return

There are also rumors that the iPhone 16 Pro will do away with the brushed titanium style that was on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max Instead, Apple may adopt a smoother, shinier finish This would mean that the iPhone 16 Pro devices would look like the stainless steel of the past, but would retain the durability derived from titanium However, this rumor is unfounded at this time and should be taken with a grain of salt

Now that we have a better idea of color options, we can add them to the table of recent iPhone color options for comparison with phones dating back to the iPhone 12

It should be mentioned that the above table does not include later iPhone additions, such as the yellow iPhone 14

The biggest difference is the sheer amount of options available on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus While most other models have about five options, the next generation iPhone has seven Apple seems to be continuing the trend of keeping the name simpler than older models While there is always the possibility that some options will be discontinued prior to launch, more color choices are certainly a benefit to consumers

For now, all we can do is wait for an official announcement from Apple, but until then, keep an eye on our iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro hub for news and rumor updates until final release
