Apple is adding a fourth color option to the next iPhone: Rose Gold

Apple will be adding another color option to the iPhone line this year: Rose Gold. Rumors that the company was thinking about releasing a pink iPhone 6S alongside the usual Gold, Silver, and Space Gray were popping up months ago, and while Rose Gold isn’t quite the same as pink, it’s close enough to say that those rumors were true. We also know that the company won’t be including a sapphire screen this time around, and the iPhone will continue to use ionized glass.

Earlier this year, reports began to suggest that Apple would launch the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in an additional color beyond the Space Gray, Silver, and Gold options that have been available in the popular iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s. Since then, there have been conflicting rumors regarding Apple’s color choice: some (including the Wall Street Journal) have claimed that the new iPhones would come in “pink,” while some analysts have referred to the color as “Rose Gold” (the discrepancy could be attributed to the similarity between colors). Today, our sources have confirmed that the new iPhones will actually come in a color that is unmistakably Rose Gold in both appearance and name. This new Rose Gold color is a copper-like variation on the gold option originally introduced with the iPhone 5s in 2013. Like the standard gold iPhone, the front glass will be white, unlike the black front found on Space Gray models.
