The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max may arrive with an entirely new colour palette in 2026. According to a fresh leak, Apple could offer the pair in Dark Cherry, Sky Blue and Black, with Dark Cherry expected to take over from Cosmic Orange as the standout finish. The wine-like red and purple tone has surfaced repeatedly across earlier leaks, while Sky Blue is described as a far subtler, almost silvery shade.
More notably, the same leak suggests Silver will not be included, despite previous reports and leaked dummy units pointing towards a silver model. Black, by contrast, would return after being absent from the iPhone 17 Pro range. Leakers remain divided over whether Black or Silver will end up as the third option, leaving Apple’s September event as the moment for confirmation.
Galaxy S27 Ultra Camera and Poco F9 Series
Details around the Galaxy S27 point to a reworked zoom system. The telephoto could be a 4x unit with a half-inch (1/1.9″) sensor, sitting between the current 3x and 5x cameras and offering a technically larger sensor than either. It is comparable to the setup on the iPhone 17 Pro models, though slightly larger in size terms.
Poco has unveiled the F9 Pro and F9 Ultra, both leaning heavily into specifications. The two handsets feature 185Hz AMOLED displays, 200MP main cameras, 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, IP68 protection and Bose-tuned stereo speakers. The F9 Pro runs the slightly cut-down Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V, while the Ultra uses the full Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and adds a dedicated rear subwoofer for a 2.1-channel arrangement.
The Ultra is the flagship of the pair, combining its chipset with an 8,050mAh battery, a 6.9-inch display and a camera array made up of the 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide and 50MP 5x periscope. The F9 Pro is more compact at 6.59 inches with a 6,330mAh battery, swapping the secondary cameras for a 50MP 2.5x telephoto and 8MP ultrawide. The Ultra also carries a notification light around its rear speaker, while the Pro’s Aurora Green finish glows in the dark.
Pricing has moved upmarket. The F9 Pro starts at £799 and the F9 Ultra at £899, though early-bird pricing lowers those figures to £639 and £709 respectively.

The international versions of the Redmi K100 Pro and K100 Pro Max are now official. Xiaomi also provided a first proper look at the Xiaomi 18 Fold through official renders and then in person at IFA 2026. The short-and-wide foldable features a 5.38-inch cover display and a 7.58-inch inner screen, a bold red finish and a Leica-branded triple-camera setup.
