The black iPhone Pro returns

黑色 iPhone Pro 回归了

The iPhone 18 Pro comes in four good colors, but there’s only one I care about: black. iPhone 18 Pro 提供了四种不错的配色，但我只关心一种：黑色。

Apple has seen reason: It has a black model in the iPhone Pro lineup again. 苹果终于想通了：iPhone Pro 系列再次迎来了黑色版本。

Last year, Apple went bold with its colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, offering a flashy orange, a shiny silver, and a dark blue. Don’t get me wrong, they looked nice. But there was no black (or dark gray) for the first time since the start of the iPhone Pro lineup, which Apple first introduced in September 2019 with the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. 去年，苹果在 iPhone 17 Pro 的配色上大胆尝试，推出了亮眼的橙色、闪亮的银色和深蓝色。别误会，它们看起来确实不错。但这是自 2019 年 9 月苹果随 iPhone 11 Pro 和 Pro Max 首次推出 iPhone Pro 系列以来，首次没有提供黑色（或深灰色）选项。

I care about this because I always buy the black phone. I learned my lesson with the iPhone 6: I got it in gold to mix things up and came to regret it. I don’t need something flashy — I need a phone that blends into the background and looks decent in whatever case I throw it into. After the iPhone 6, my next phone was the iPhone 7 in the excellent matte black (I wasn’t brave enough to endure the jet black model’s potential scratches), and I’ve only ever gotten the black or gray phones since. 我之所以在意这一点，是因为我总是买黑色的手机。我在 iPhone 6 上吸取了教训：当时为了换换口味买了金色，结果后来后悔了。我不需要花哨的东西——我需要的是一部能融入背景、并且无论配什么手机壳看起来都得体的手机。iPhone 6 之后，我的下一部手机是哑光黑色的 iPhone 7（我当时没勇气去忍受亮黑色版本可能出现的划痕），从那以后，我就只买黑色或灰色的手机了。

My black titanium iPhone 16 Pro in a black Torras case (with a mostly black homescreen) still works very well, thank you very much, and I’m not in the market for a new phone. But when I make my annual mid-September visit to the local Apple Store to look at all the new iPhones, I won’t be rushing to see the iPhone 18 Pro in burgundy, blue, or silver. I’ll be beelining for the model in black. 我那部装在黑色 Torras 手机壳里（主屏幕也基本是黑色）的黑色钛金属 iPhone 16 Pro 目前依然运行良好，谢谢关心，我暂时没有换新机的打算。但当我在九月中旬照例去当地 Apple Store 体验新款 iPhone 时，我不会急着去看勃艮第红、蓝色或银色的 iPhone 18 Pro，我会直奔黑色款而去。

Just look at this thing! It’s great! 看看这个东西！它太棒了！

Now Apple, how about a black iPhone Duo? 那么苹果，什么时候来一款黑色的 iPhone Duo 呢？
