Apple's next-generation iPhone, the iPhone 17 series, is about to be released, and color variations may be one of the most exciting highlights of the year. Leaks indicate that the iPhone 17 series will not only bring back some classic fan-favorite hues, but also introduce bold new colors. It's understood:
The standard iPhone 17 is rumored to be available in five colors: purple, green, blue, black, and white. Purple or one of the green is expected to return, with the green being more saturated, while the blue continues the multi-tonal style of years past. Black and white, as neutral design options, will remain mainstream. Orange has been rumored, but it may be limited to the Pro models or not available at all. Furthermore, the edges of the phone are expected to be made of aluminum.
The iPhone 17 Air will feature a lighter, more refined color scheme: light blue, light gold, black, and silver. Light gold is a pale metallic color, light blue resembles sky blue, while black and silver maintain a classic and versatile style. These colors may be applied to the titanium frame, similar to the design of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro.
The high-end iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models will share four colors: orange, dark blue, silver, and black. Orange is the most eye-catching new color, potentially the boldest yet in Apple's Pro lineup. Dark blue adds a deep, premium feel, silver offers a clean metallic look, and black maintains the professional aesthetic. A gray color has yet to be confirmed and may appear in the 17 or 17 Pro models, or it may not be offered this year. Even with the same color, these phones will look different from the iPhone 16 Pro, as the titanium frame is expected to be replaced by aluminum.
According to foreign media reports, Apple is expected to release the iPhone 17 series on September 9th, with pre-orders possibly starting on September 12th. If the leak is accurate, 2025 will bring Apple's most colorful iPhone launch in years.
