While it used to be a sea of silvers and greys, Apple has been embracing colour recently. The iPhone, iPad and iMac are all available in various dazzling hues these days, but there's one colour fans have been yearning for – and it might finally arrive in 2023.

Aside from the subtle 'rose gold' phones of yore, we've never been given a true, bonafide 'hot pink' iPhone. But while recent rumours have suggested green and red would be 2023's new colours, a prominent Apple leaker has now claimed the company is opting for pink. Which, given that this is the official year of the Barbie, makes perfect sense.
