AI-Generated Mock Ad Makes Dark Cherry iPhone 18 Pro More Appealing, 9to5Mac Says
An AI-generated mock ad changed one writer's view of the rumored dark cherry iPhone 18 Pro before Apple's Sept. 9 event.
The event follows rumors that the Pro models will introduce a dark cherry red finish. A 9to5Mac writer, who described himself as a fan of cosmic orange, said he initially was not excited by the reported burgundy shade. But an AI-generated mock video ad, he wrote, convinced him the color could look good in practice.
The ad was created to illustrate the rumored dark cherry finish, and its maker clearly labeled it as AI-generated rather than trying to pass it off as a leak. The writer praised that transparency and said the creation showed how far AI video generation has come. He added that he hoped the real-world color would look as good as the mock version.
Apple has not officially confirmed the dark cherry finish, and the details remain unverified until the company makes its announcement at the September 9 event.
