iPhone 14 Pro Purple and Blue Colors Appear on Dummy Models

Ahead of the expected announcement of the iPhone 14 lineup at Apple's September 7 event, a wave of dummy models originated in Asia claim to show the iPhone 14 Pro's selection of color options.

The images of iPhone 14 Pro dummy models were first shared on Weibo and show the same colors as in the past. There are two new color options in the image, a dark purple and blue. The image that emerged earlier today appears to show the same range of colors as the one that emerged earlier.

The antenna bands of the gold and purple models contrast with the frame because they are white. It is not clear if the items in the second image are genuine iPhone 14 Pro models or dummy models, but the latter is more likely given the volume of iPhone 14 Pro dummies that are in circulation.

The new purple finish for the iPhone 14 and the new purple finish for the iPhone 14 Pro was rumored to be released earlier this year. It claimed that the color option for the phone is a unique finish that changes tone based on lighting conditions. A purple color option for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is plausible given that Apple introduced a purple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini in a mid-cycle refresh in April last year.

It is not clear if the unique purple finish is actively supposed to have a new effect to change based on lighting conditions or if it simply uses the technique behind the Sierra Blue color option. Apple adopted a new production process that uses multiple layers of nanometer-scale metallic ceramics applied across the surface for a stunning and durable finish.

The video shows a larger rear camera and a relocated front camera in line with rumors about the device so far.

The blue color option is new and has not been rumored before.

The selection of colors on show could provide a basic overview of what to expect, since dummies don't represent the exact tone of Apple's options with a high level of accuracy. They try to provide a relatively accurate overall substitute for the actual physical device by using dummy models. It's reasonable to think that the color options will be based on legitimate info.

Most of the information should be seen with a level of skepticism, mostly coming from users in China. Readers can decide if the above information is believable.
