Article Summaries:

  • Apple is reportedly testing a bold red finish for its next iPhone Pro models, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The color would follow the recent success of the “Cosmic Orange” variant, which has become a status symbol in China and helped lift sales. Gurman said that while purple and brown shades have been mentioned, they are likely just variations of the primary red. Apple’s previous red offerings were limited to Product Red collaborations. The rumored foldable iPhone, however, is expected to stay in more conventional tones, keeping the focus on the Pro line for the new color.
