I'm specifically referring to the non-Pro iPhone 16, but feel free to discuss either one. I know that Apple was using this new method of infusing color into the back glass itself, but I was very disappointed with the non-Pro iPhone 15 color lineup this year. They are way too light and pastel in nature, so much so that they looked white in many YouTubers' preview/review videos. Additionally, the 15 was the first time in many years that there was no (PRODUCT)Red color option.

For the iPhone Pro line up, I have a feeling that they will make something different. You know it is currently not possible to coat the titanium frame whatever color they want. So I think they'll consider keep the white titanium frame while making difference in back glass colors, just like iPhone 4. And they'll call it a dual-tone iPhone. And they think you're going to love it.

I think the new ‘metallic ion’ gibberish technique used to infuse the colour into the glass could be a limitation on colours that aren’t black this year.

As for the 16, I hope we get darker non-black colours. I suppose we will get dark versions of green, blue and a version of red.

As long there is a white or silver color then I am fine. When I mean white, I don't mean warm or off-white colors.

I agree! I think the dark green and blue colors they've released are great. The dark green iPhone 13 might be my top iPhone color of all time. About Product(RED), it depends on the shade they use. I prefer it to be a darker, crimson kind of red instead of a fire engine kind of red.

Disappointed with the colours of the non Pro 15 models. Not sure where Apple can go from here. Colours cannot get any lighter. One option is Apple maintains the colours of the 15 for the 16 models. But I really hope Apple brings back bright colours. It should be at least as bright as the iPhone 11 models. Will be great to see iPhone XR colours.

As for the colours, personally I would like to see a bright pink, coral/orange colour, purple or even rose gold.

For the Pro models, I expect Apple to maintain Black,White and Natural Titanium going forward. Apple will replace the Blue Titanium with a new colour. Coating the titanium frame is difficult but would like to see a red Pro model.
 
Personally I was a little disappointed with the color of the iPhone 14- the purple one is very light and pastel, not at all like the very nice shade the 12 had. I didn't notice the other colors, I'm too focused on the purple one on the 14-series. 😅 Now I have a 15pro and I love the blue one, but I really liked the purple on the 14pro. I too think the new colors are too pastel, I like colors a bit more colorful?
 
Still waiting for a burnt orange/ copper option… maybe one day!
