The pink shade is a deeper pink described as ‘telemy agent’ and the light blue is ‘picton blue.’

Titanium is also more resistant to higher temperatures than steel, while offering a similar level of protection against water damage.
Images of a ‘dummy’ iPhone 15 Pro leaked in April and surfaced on the Chinese version of TikTok.
A titanium-based frame was also shown on this prototype, alongside a new solid-state volume knob that replaces the mute switch.
If true, this would be Apple’s first time changing the button since the iPhone launched in 2007, likely allowing users to switch with its sensitivity.
Apple will have to start equipping its iPhones and other devices with a USB-C charger (pictured), which is already used for Android devices
The dummy also included a USB-C charging port instead of the usual Lightning port.
This change follows earlier talks from Apple’s chief executive Greg Joswiak, who said the tech giant “had to comply” with new USB laws passed by the EU.
