Apple has launched the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in all-new “yellow” colourway, possibly to continue momentum and boost sales mid-cycle before the arrival of the next wave of iPhones in September. It joins the existing lineup of midnight, purple, starlight, (PRODUCT)RED, and blue. Specs and pricing, naturally, remain the same.
Most modern-day iPhones have a rich colour palette, but things weren’t always this “colourful”. The original iPhone, in fact, came in just one variant. The iPhones that followed were offered in varying shades of black and white. The iPhone 5 was perhaps the first stab at bold experimentation with its striking dual tone finish (though the base line was still black and white). Apple then went all in with the iPhone 5S and 5C, with the latter really taking things up a notch, both design and positioning wise.

Cut to 2023, the latest iPhone 14 –now— sells in as many as six colours. The iPhone XR was the last iPhone to be made available in as many colours. Even the iPhone 11, 12 and 13 came in five different hues. Bottomline, it’s a good time to take a trip down memory lane and reminisce a bit at every iPhone colour ever launched.
