I mapped every color of every iPhone ever made (2007–2026)

Was bored and went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out when iPhones stopped being boring black/white slabs and started coming in actual colors. Ended up mapping every single color option across all 52 models

Some things that surprised me:

- 2007–2012 was literally just silver, black, white. That's it. For 5 years.
- 2013 the 5C dropped and suddenly there were 8 colors in one year
- Then it went back to boring for a few years
- 2018 onwards is where it explodes, the XR had 6 colors alone
- 2025 has the most ever with 14 unique colors across all models
- Cosmic Orange on the 17 Pro is the wildest color Apple's ever done imo

Also built a full interactive version with every spec, price, camera, and a compare tool if anyone wants to dig deeper.
