We already suspected that the new Apple iPhone 14 might launch in a purple hue, thanks to past leaks. Now, a leak on Chinese site Weibo describes what appears to be the next iPhone 14 Pro in an all-new purple that hints at more attention to material design.

Sleepy Afternoon's new tidbit shows off five colors of what could be the Apple iPhone 14 Pro, including silver, graphite and gold versions that would be familiar in stores today. There's also a darker blue color, as well as the increasingly ubiquitous purple. A second view shows only the first three colors with another shot of the purple model.

In the following images, the purple looks dark and saturated at first, then lighter and more metallic. Phone makers will use layers of material on the back of a phone to create this shimmering effect that seems to change as it reflects light differently. Current iPhones use similar materials, depending on model and color. You can see the difference in overlay effects in our hands with the green Apple iPhone 13 this year.
Analysis: One more purple is trending
While flagship phones usually launch in up to three or more color options, one of them is usually dark gray or black, light silver or white, and then there's the fun color . The fun color this year seems to be purple, based on those iPhone rumors and the delicious bora purple hue Samsung has chosen for its entire flagship lineup, including the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
In the past, the color was rose gold, but it seems the lighter yellow champagne gold tones have won out over the more rosy hues. It may not be a coincidence that Pantone's Color of the Year (opens in a new tab) for 2022 is a periwinkle purple called "Very Peri." Apple rarely finds itself in a fast-follower position behind Samsung, but when the foldable phone maker is right, it's best to follow the market.
It will be interesting to see how long the purple phase lasts. The new Pantone Color of the Year is announced in December, and Samsung's next flagship phones will launch in early spring or late February if history is any guide.
Today's Galaxy S22 Ultra comes in a gorgeous new burgundy color, as well as a light blue. There's also a green to match Apple's iPhone 13. The Ultra expensive Galaxy S range doesn't offer a bora purple option to match Samsung's newer phones, but it wouldn't be hard for Samsung to add the color anytime soon.
