As for the design of the next iPhone 13, users care most are size and color. Will iPhone 13 be longer? Will there be more colors for iPhone 13 than previous versions like iPhone 12, iPhone 11, iPhone X, iPhone 8, etc.
The good news is that it is rumored that new colors have been added into the next-gen iPhone including matte black for all models and bronze for iPhone 13 Pro models. Apple had a “jet black” color for the iPhone 7, but it was prone to scuffs and scratches.
A “sunset gold” color has also been rumored. Yet, this could be the anticipated bronze color due to the shade used. Supply chain sources say that the rose gold color will be very pale in this series.

According to the tables above, the most frequently used colors on iPhone are black, silver, and white with black and white are the colors of the initial series of iPhone.
With the development of the iPhone, new and more fashion colors have been added to the rainbow of iPhone finishes. From the original cold tone of color in the first and second generation of iPhone to the first try of hot colors like orange and pink in iPhone 4; from the initial one or two-color options to nowadays’ multiple-color choices, the iPhone colors have changed yet maintained.
The changes happen to the removal of the colors that turn out not favored by users and the introduction of new colors. The unchanged colors are those classic and well-sold ones. This seems to be the principle of the development of iPhone 13 colors.
Relying on the potential principle of iPhone color development, let’s guess what color iPhone 13 will be. It should remain some traditional bright colors in its main edition like black, white, green, (product)red, blue, or purple (maybe pink) and bring new colors to its Pro edition like the rumored bronze (sunset gold). More specifically, about 6 colors will be offered to the main edition and 3 or 4 colors for the Pro version.
Finally, let’s give a final guess of the colors for iPhone 13.
- iPhone 13 / 13 mini colors: black, white, (PRODUCT)RED, blue, green, purple (or pink)
- iPhone 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max colors: space gray, silver, bronze, matte black
