Back in 2013, Apple felt the world needed more color so it introduced the iPhone 5c in blue, green, pink, yellow, and white. Although that model with the various colors crashed and burned after only a year, the company is once again expected to bring colorful iPhones to the market later this year.

According to reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the upcoming 6.1-inch LCD iPhone could launch in grey, white, blue, red, and orange variants. Meanwhile, the 6.5-inch LED “iPhone X Plus” could arrive in black, white, and gold. Kuo’s news was first published by 9to5Mac.

Besides its year-long detour with the iPhone 5c, Apple doesn’t like to change the color choices for its most important product all that often. This year, for example, there are only two color choices for the iPhone X, while the iPhone 8/8 Plus comes in four different colors, including the mid-season Product (RED) variant.

Also on Thursday, Kuo reported that Apple plans on selling the 6.1-inch iPhone for around $700, compared to $1,000 for the all-new iPhone X Plus. A second-generation 5.5-inch iPhone X will set you back at least $899 versus $999 for this year’s model.

Kuo believes more color choices and competitive pricing could push iPhone sales further.
