The iPhone 18 Pro is nearly here, and a newly circulated AI-generated mock advertisement is offering an early look at what could become one of the most talked-about features of Apple’s next flagship: a dark cherry red finish.
Apple’s upcoming launch event, dubbed “Rise and Surprise,” is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, at 10 a.m. PT. The company is expected to introduce several new hardware products during the presentation, including the foldable iPhone Ultra, along with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
A New Color for the Pro Lineup
According to current rumors, the standout addition for this year’s Pro models is a dark cherry red finish. The burgundy-inspired hue would join the color options available for the higher-end iPhone tier, giving buyers a fresh alternative to previous choices such as cosmic orange.
While the finish has generated mixed reactions ahead of the official reveal, the AI-generated mock video ad demonstrates how the deep red tone could translate into a polished, premium look for the device.
AI Video Generation Takes Center Stage
Beyond the color preview, the clip highlights how far AI video generation technology has advanced. The quality of the rendered advertisement is convincing enough to resemble an official Apple production.
Notably, the creator clearly labeled the video as AI-generated rather than presenting it as a genuine leak. That transparency sets the project apart at a time when synthetic media is increasingly difficult to distinguish from authentic footage.
The mock ad remains a fan-made concept, and the actual appearance of the dark cherry finish will only be confirmed once Apple unveils the devices. Whether the real-world color matches the vibrancy shown in the rendering is still unknown.
