You can already get theiPhone 14in five different colors, but it looks very likely that there will soon be a sixth option to choose from.
Mark Gurman– a reputable Bloomberg journalist and leaker – has claimed (viaMacRumors) that “a new iPhone 14 color is indeed imminent.” Gurman has a superb track record, so we’re inclined to believe them, and while they didn’t get specific about what this new iPhone shade would be, we can make our own educated guess.
You see, this isn’t the first we’ve heard of a new iPhone 14 color. Just a few days ago, another source suggested that the iPhone 14would soon be available in a yellow shade.
Nearly a year to the day after the announcement of the green iPhone 13, a new iPhone 14 color is indeed imminent.March 6, 2023
While the latter source doesn’t have Gurman’s track record,MacRumorsclaims to have heard from multiple sources thatApplehas a product briefing planned for this week. As such, we can be almost certain that Apple has an imminent announcement to make, and it’s probably to do with a new iPhone 14 color, with yellow being the most likely option.
There’s also form for this on Apple’s part, as a green shade was launched for theiPhone 13this time last year, and a purple color for theiPhone 12the year before that.
We hope it really is yellow that’s planned for the iPhone 14 this year, because with the exception of red, all the current shades are quite pale and understated, so we could use more bright colors. Of course, the yellow might be a pale yellow, too, but it’s still likely to be more showy than the likes of white and black.
Oh, and if the iPhone 14 is getting a new color, then the same color will almost certainly come to theiPhone 14 Plusas well, since the two phones are currently available in an identical selection of shades. What’s less clear is whether theiPhone 14 ProandiPhone 14 Pro Maxwill be available in a new color, too. If they are, it might be a slightly different shade.

Analysis: when will this new color launch?
We can only guess at which day, exactly, Apple will make this announcement, though (as mentioned) we know it’ll happen sometime this week.
That said, Apple tends to prefer announcing things on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Indeed, the green color last year was unveiled on a Tuesday, and so was the purple the year before, so Tuesday is our best guess.
It’s Tuesday now at the time of writing, so the new iPhone 14 shade’s arrival really could be imminent, and will hopefully add some much-needed brightness to the current selection ofiPhone 14 colors.
