New iPhone 16 Colors Looking Increasingly Unlikely

Apple has a history of releasing new iPhone color options mid-product cycle, typically in March or April. This has happened six times in the past, with the last two instances occurring on the second Tuesday in March. However, there are currently no rumors about new color options for the iPhone 16, and it's possible Apple might skip this year's release. Apple has skipped mid-cycle color releases in the past, such as with the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, and iPhone 15. The iPhone 16 is currently available in five colors: Black, White, Teal, Pink, and Ultramarine. A new red, yellow, purple, or grey color option seems possible, given Apple's past releases. The latest period for Apple to announce a new color option is approaching, but with no rumors, it appears unlikely. Apple has released new colors more often than not since 2017, but it's possible they might break this pattern this year. The lack of rumors suggests Apple might not release a new color option for the iPhone 16. If Apple does release a new color, it would likely be announced soon, given the typical timing of such releases.
