Apple has reintroduced a black option to its iPhone Pro lineup with the release of the iPhone 18 Pro. The new model is available in four colors, with black being a notable choice for some users. Last year, the iPhone 17 Pro came in bold colors such as bright orange, shiny silver, and dark blue, but notably excluded black or dark gray. This marked the first time since the launch of the iPhone Pro series in September 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max that a black model was not available. For some users, the absence of black in the previous model was a disappointment. One such user explained that they have always preferred black phones, citing their experience with the iPhone 6, where they initially chose a gold model but later regretted the decision. They prefer a phone that blends into the background and looks good in any setting. After the iPhone 6, they purchased the iPhone 7 in a matte black model, avoiding the jet black option due to concerns about scratches. Since then, they have only bought black or gray phones. The user's current phone is a black titanium iPhone 16 Pro in a black Torras case, which still functions well and doesn’t need replacing. However, when visiting the local Apple Store in mid-September to look at new iPhones, they will not be interested in the iPhone 18 Pro's burgundy, blue, or silver models. Instead, they will go directly to the black model. The user expressed enthusiasm for the black iPhone 18 Pro, saying, "Just look at this thing! It is great!" They also humorously asked Apple, "How about a black iPhone Duo?"
