Recent weeks have brought a flurry of rumors related to color options for the iPhone 17, including Air and Pro models.Among the most surprising leaks: the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may come in a new orange color, along with blue and more.Here’s the latest report, plus renders of what could be coming.
Leaker says four iPhone 17 Pro colors coming, not five Leaker Majin Bu published a new blog post today where he claims that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will come in these four colors: Black Dark Blue Orange Silver These colors, per Bu, are based on information from an “accessory manufacturer and sources close to Apple.” This mostly aligns with prior reporting, except for the removal of a ‘Gray’ color that said is coming.Five colors would be a departure from Apple’s previous Pro offerings, but then again, so too would a bold orange model.Bu also shared renders of what these four colors may look like: Silver and Black options largely resemble prior iPhone Pro colors, and the Dark Blue isn’t too far off from the iPhone 15 Pro’s look a couple years back.
Orange, however, is clearly the standout.To add more confusion and intrigue to the mix: leaker Instant Digital today claimed that one of the iPhone 17 Pro colors will have a special effect designed to pair with iOS 26’s Liquid Glass revamp.Translated, the post says, “It should be white, but it will have different effects under different light.” 9to5Mac’s Take Apple has historically used very muted colors for its Pro models, so an orange shade like this would definitely represent a big pivot.
Though evidence of an orange-like model has been growing, I still wonder if what Apple actually ships will be more copper than orange.I could see certain accents, like the camera rings, being orange while the rest of the device is a vibrant copper-gold.As for the rumor of a Liquid Glass-inspired color effect, that sounds like the kind of detail that we won’t be able to actually see until Apple’s official launch.
