Year after year, we hear rumors that Apple will roll out a new color for the iPhone — bronze.

It looks like that day might finally arrive in a few weeks when Apple unveils the iPhone 16 Pro.

New dummy iPhones suggest the color will actually be bronze titanium, and ace Apple leaker Sonny Dickson posted a picture on X.

Check it out here. And let us know what you think of the new iPhone color in the poll below.

Also in today’s newsletter:

  • The designer who makes ultra-realistic mockups of potential Apple products — including a very real-looking folding iPhone — says he’s happy to accommodate Apple after he was contacted by Cupertino’s lawyers. But he sounds a little nervous. (Who wouldn’t?)

  • The super-popular game Fortnite finally made it back to the iPhone ... but only for a select few.

  • Here’s all you need to know about the new Apple Passwords app, including how to switch passwords to passkeys, create shared groups and more.

  • This AirTag key holder keeps your keys organized and ensures you’ll never lose them again. And you’ll need an AirTag to go in it; luckily, they’re on sale for less than $20 apiece.

  • Remember the Jony Ive-designed Harmon Kardon SoundSticks? They still sound great, and they look good, too. See today’s featured setup.

  • My goodness: Look what Apple’s laptops used to look like. We’ve come a long way.

One more thing ...

❝

I think back to Detroit in the ’70s, when cars were so bad. Why? The people running the companies then didn't love cars. One of the things wrong with the PC industry today is that most of the people running the companies don't love PCs. Does Steve Ballmer love PCs? Does Craig Barrett love PCs? Does Michael Dell love PCs? If Michael Dell wasn't selling PCs he'd be selling something else. These people don't love what they create. And people here do.
