  "account": "Apple is rumored to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max at its upcoming Sept. 9 launch event, with a possible three-color lineup. According to a leak from leaker Fixed Focus Digital on Weibo, the iPhone 18 Pro could be available in sky blue, pure black, and burgundy. While previous rumors suggested this color scheme, the names have changed slightly over time. Despite hopes for a silver or gray option, this report suggests Apple may omit these shades this year, reintroducing black after its absence on the iPhone 17 Pro. Last year, black models were available in other iPhone iterations, including the iPhone Air, base iPhone 17, and iPhone 17E.\n\nAs the official event approaches, leaks about the iPhone 17 Pro's design are expected to continue. However, the color of the iPhone 18 Pro might be just as significant as its appearance. Apple has increased prices on other products due to a memory shortage, which has made consumer electronics pricier. For instance, the new Mac Mini with an M6 processor starts at $899, a considerable jump from the $599 Mac Mini with an M4 processor it replaced. It's plausible that the iPhone 18 Pro line could also have a higher starting price than the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro, should Apple continue this pricing trend. We'll learn more details on Sept. 9.",
  "summary": "The next iPhone Pro lineup might not repeat any colors from last year, with silver reportedly not in production.",
