Apple finally revealed the iPhone 15 at its “Wonderlust” event on September 12. This lineup includes the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. There were other products announced during the event as well, but the iPhone 15 series is the biggest of the bunch.
However, Apple’s really been dropping the ball lately in terms of device colors. This year is especially bad with the very pastel and muted colors of the
Here are some colors that Apple should have made for the

Apple could have done better with an actual mint green for the
iPhone 15 in purple
Purple is a beautiful color and a favorite for many, and Apple has done several variations of it in the past. We had purple color options for the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and the iPhone 14.
Though purple isn’t an option offered this year, it would have been great if Apple offered the
iPhone 15 in canary yellow
I’m not a fan of yellow myself, but I know there are yellow fans out there. And halfway through the iPhone 14 cycle, Apple released a beautiful shade of canary yellow for the device. The only other time Apple had a yellow iPhone was with the slightly lighter yellow iPhone 11.

Early rumors of the iPhone 15 Pro hinted at a crimson red color option, but that seemed to disappear once it was revealed that Apple would use titanium and have a dark blue color instead.

iPhone 15 Pro in dusty rose
Apple always seems to be under the impression that those who want the iPhone Pro models don’t want any actual colors. But it’s been a longtime dream of mine to have a pink iPhone Pro, specifically in a dusty rose hue — there’s a reason why I used this color at my wedding!
The last time Apple did a color similar to this was with the rose gold option with the
iPhone 15 Pro in purple
I was excited when Apple was making a purple iPhone 14 Pro, but that evaporated pretty quickly once I saw the color in person. It was definitely more of a purple-tinted gray, and you could only see the purple color in certain lighting situations.
It would have been nice to see Apple make another attempt at a purple
