A new leak out of China claims that the premium version of the iPhone 16 will come in a new bronze color.

The information was shared on the Chinese social network Weibo by a user called "Fixed focus digital." According to the original post (at least, as translated into English by Google), the new color is "particularly like bronze" and "the frame looks like titanium."

According to MacRumors, this is potentiallycontradictory with a previous Weibo leak, which came courtesy of user "OvO Baby Sauce OvO" earlier in July. That leak claimed that the new color for the iPhone 16 Pro was called "Rose," which would certainly not be "bronze-like," if accurate. However, as MacRumors pointed out, there's a possibility (however slight) that the two leaks are correct — and perhaps the devices were just seen by different people under different lighting.

This leak came only a day after another Weibo leak about iPhone 16 colors, which was a good deal more substantial. That post included a photo of five entry-level iPhone 16 models, showcasing five potential colors. As always, it is expected that Apple will tell us more about the iPhone 16 sometime in September.
