Full black! Apple could finally meet the expectations of fans of deep black with its next iPhone 16 Pro. No more dark gray, make way for true absolute black!
Apple is reportedly preparing a comeback for the iPhone 16 Pro. According to the latest leaks, this new model could well sport the darkest shade ever seen on an iPhone since the legendary Jet Black of the iPhone 7.
