A new leaked image suggests the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature camera lens rings that match previously reported colours. The photo suggests the new Desert Titanium colour, replacing last year's Blue Titanium, will join White, Black, and Natural Titanium options. The Black Titanium is rumoured to be significantly darker than its predecessor, while Natural Titanium will have a more grey hue.

These leaks align with earlier reports of a polished stainless steel finish, similar to the iPhone X to iPhone 14 Pro. While initial rumours suggested a Rose Gold-like colour, recent evidence (like this one) points to a more Bronze-toned finish.
