iPhone 14 Pro colors: Which one should you buy, and which suits you best?
Four colors, one choice.
It's not just all about the Dynamic Island — the iPhone 14 Pro color selection is one of the most stylish range of shades Apple's offered alongside its new handsets in generations.
With the iPhone 14 Pro colors shared with the iPhone 14 Pro Max too, picking out the hue for you is one of the first decisions you'll need to make when picking up a new iPhone. Sure, you may eventually want to protect it with an iPhone case, but underneath it all, you've still got to pick out a shade that suits your style.
Thankfully, the iPhone 14 Pro isn't just the best iPhone ever, with powerful internals (the new A16 Bionic chipset), a 48MP camera, and Dynamic Island for at-a-glance notification info. It's one of the best-looking, too.
Whether you're grabbing a Pro or Pro Max, there is a range of colors available, and now that we're passed the usual point where Apple might release a new color version, it seems like these are the only colors we're going to get. Here's a rundown of the iPhone 14 colors.
Four subtle and sleek colors for everyone
You can always trust iMore.
Smoke on the water
The Deep Purple color option is the new color for this year, and it's a stunner. It's the exclusive color of this range of Pro iPhones, with its rich, dark hue. It's almost regal in its splendor, the color shifting depending on the lighting. If you even remotely like purple, then it's a no-brainer.
Spaceman in black
It's no secret that black goes with pretty much anything. In this case, Space Black is more a very, very dark gray, with a lighter highlight in its steel surround. This is darker than other iPhone versions, so make sure you can take a look at the phone itself before you grab one.
Silver Ranger
This should really be called 'Silver and White'. The Silver is for the steel surround, which is polished like an expensive watch. The rear glass of the iPhone is a very clean white, which requires careful cleaning to keep it looking spotless. If you can keep it clean, however, it's a fun, crisp color.
I love goooooold
Some call it a little much, and some call it just right, but there's no doubt that this is the most decadent iPhone 14 Pro color. The gold is the color of the steel surround, and the glass panel on the back has a subdued, matte finish. The back panel makes sure it's not completely in your face, and it's a classier option than the image 'gold iPhone' might conjure in your mind.
Find the right iPhone 14 Pro color
As is tradition, the iPhone Pro model colors are less in your face and more refined than that of the regular iPhone models, and the iPhone 14 Pro line is no different here. With the Space Black, Silver, Gold, and Deep Purple color options, there is one less color than the iPhone 14, but there is still an option for everyone.
Deep Purple is this generation's Pro-exclusive color — so if you want people to make no mistake you've got the year's best handset, that's the one to show off with. The Gold is a highlight as well, with a color option that not many others might consider. If you're looking for something a little more neutral, then go for the Space Black. The Silver is a classy, crisp number that goes well with the look of Apple's other products.
Do think about the kind of iPhone 14 Pro case that you might be putting on as well, however. If you're thinking of putting a case with a pattern on it for example, then something a little lighter like Silver or Gold might be the option to go with. The darker colors may not show the pattern quite so much, although there's nothing stopping you from color-coordinating the case with the color.
Want more color choices? Consider the iPhone 14 color array, with yellows, reds, blues, and purples ... along with silver and black, of course. And with the iPhone 15 color palette reveal just around the corner, you'll soon have a whole new rainbow of devices to consider.
