Apple has reintroduced a black colour option for its high-end iPhone Pro line, ending a one-year absence. The move comes after the iPhone 17 Pro range, launched last year, offered only orange, silver and dark blue finishes, marking the first time since the Pro lineup began in 2019 that no black or dark grey model was available.

The iPhone 18 Pro will now be offered in black alongside colours such as burgundy, blue and silver. The Verge's report is a personal, first-person take from a writer who has bought black or grey iPhones since the iPhone 7, having briefly experimented with a gold iPhone 6, and plans to see the new black model at their local Apple Store during Apple's mid-September launch period.
