As it stands, the Weibo rumor and the emphasis on purple as the new headline shade still seem plausible, but only time will tell. In addition, “rather than the purple currently being discussed,” Apple is reportedly planning to use “a completely different color that was prepared from the iPhone 12.”Īs such, it is difficult to glean much reliable information about the iPhone 14 lineup’s color options. It added that Apple is searching for the source of leaks using approximately three different color samples. Illustrative of this is a recent post from user “yeux1122” on Korean blog Naver, citing “vendor sources.” The post said that “very few colors are actually being released” for the iPhone 14 lineup, and that previous rumors about the device’s color options were only derived from samples. The Purple, Black, and Bronze color options did not emerge, while the actual new shade of Sierra Blue was largely unexpected. Last year, Max Weinbach and Ukrainian e-commerce website KTC said that the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 13 would be available in Black, Blue, Purple, Pink, White, and PRODUCT(RED), while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max would be available in Black, Silver, Gold, and Bronze. Nevertheless, the post came from a source without a known track record and it is not clear why it was deleted, so it should still be viewed with a level of skepticism.Ĭolor option rumors are typically an area of low accuracy for Apple rumors, likely since color options are chosen relatively late in Apple’s product development process. The main iPhone 14 color option rumor from Weibo got traction on Twitter and the information has seemingly been mirrored by other unverified posts from elsewhere. This is because Apple adopted a new production process exclusively for Sierra Blue that uses “multiple layers of nanometer-scale metallic ceramics applied across the surface for a stunning and durable finish.” Color Option Rumors It is not clear if the unique purple finish is actively supposed to have a kaleidoscopic effect to change based on lighting conditions, or simply use the technique behind the iPhone 13 Pro’s Sierra Blue, which varies in appearance more than the other color options. The purple color option for both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is said to be a unique finish that shifts tone based on lighting conditions.Ī purple color option for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro seems plausible given that Apple introduced a Purple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini in a mid-cycle refresh in April last year to a positive response from customers, and the 24-inch iMac, sixth-generation iPad mini, and fifth-generation iPad Air are all available in Purple. In recent years, Apple has offered eye-catching new color options alongside more neutral tones when launching new iPhone models. For the iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro, this included Midnight Green, Pacific Blue, Sierra Blue, and Alpine Green, and this year it looks like Apple plans to continue the trend of offering a single standout color. For its “Pro” models, Apple also usually offers an all-new color alongside its standard Graphite or Space Gray, Silver, and Gold at launch. This would mean that the iPhone 13 Pro’s Sierra Blue and Alpine Green would not be carried over this year.
