iPhone 18 Pro's new colors draw attention, but experts warn of potential paint chipping

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch the iPhone 18 Pro series in September, with leaked information revealing four new color options: deep cherry, light blue, silver, and black. A prominent leak from Sonny Dickson showcased the potential new models, sparking interest in the device's aesthetics.

The deep cherry, light blue, black, and silver are the four colors.

However, concerns are mounting regarding the phone's durability. According to leaker Fixed Focus Digital, the iPhone 18 Pro will continue to use an anodized aluminum alloy body. While this material offers excellent heat dissipation, it carries the risk of repeating the durability issues faced by the iPhone 17 Pro.

The iPhone 17 Pro switched from titanium to an integrated aluminum alloy design, which led to numerous complaints about casing damage after its release. Specifically, the raised edges around the camera module were prone to chipping and scratching from everyday use and minor collisions.

Experts are particularly warning consumers about the potential for "paint chipping" and surface scratches, especially with the new color variants. The deep cherry color, described as a deep wine red, is highlighted as a potentially vulnerable finish. Consumers unfamiliar with the previous model's durability issues are advised to exercise caution when purchasing these new color options.
