14-Second Video Purports to Show iPhone 18 Pro Colors as Fake-Leak Doubts Mount

Summary
A 14-second clip circulating online appears to show dark cherry and light blue iPhone 18 Pro models in a retail-style display, with a dark blue iPhone 17 Pro Max used for comparison.
The report judges the footage likely fake because the setup looks unconvincing: a very small display table, loose product tags and little visible store background.
Dummy units are easy to source, the report says, citing IFA case makers that had realistic mock phones, which would make staging such a leak trivial.
Macworld said the video could still be genuine since stores may already have demo units ahead of launch, but the report argues leaking them before announcement would be unusually risky.
