iPhone 17 Pro Leaks: Bold New Orange and Muted Tones Hint at Design Shift
Table of Contents
The rumor mill is churning, and the latest whispers about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series are painting a picture of significant design changes, notably when it comes to color. while a previous leak suggested a five-color palette for the iPhone 17 Pro, a new report from a highly reputable source offers a slightly different, and perhaps more intriguing, outlook.
sonny dickson Weighs In: A Striking Orange and a Simpler Palette
Sonny Dickson, a leaker known for his consistently accurate predictions regarding Apple’s product designs, has shared his insights into the color options for the next generation of iPhones. While another tipster, Majin Bu, recently showcased a video featuring the iPhone 17 Pro in five distinct colors, Dickson’s latest findings present a slightly altered lineup.
Dickson’s images reveal four color options for the iPhone 17 pro: black, white, dark blue, and a surprising, vibrant orange. Notably absent from his collection is the gray shade predicted by Bu. Dickson himself commented on the new orange, calling it “definitely a bold addition” that “really stands out this year.”
This potential shift towards a more daring color choice marks a significant departure from the more subdued tones seen in the iPhone 16 pro range. Even the color previously anticipated as gold for the iPhone 16 Pro turned out to be a more understated “desert titanium.”
iPhone 17: A Quieter Color Story
Beyond the Pro models, Dickson’s dummies also offer a glimpse into the color choices for the standard iPhone 17. Here, the trend appears to be towards a more muted and perhaps simplified selection compared to its predecessor.The iPhone 16 featured bright ultramarine and teal options, but the iPhone 17, according to Dickson’s leaks, will come in black, white, a pale blue, and a dusty pink.
This presents an interesting question: is Apple streamlining its color offerings for the standard iPhone 17, or is Dickson missing a color from his sources? The iPhone 16 series boasted five color options, making the reported four for the iPhone 17 a notable reduction.
iPhone 17 Air: A Unique Color identity
Adding another layer to the color speculation is the rumored iPhone 17 Air, the fourth device in the series. This model is also expected to arrive in four colors, but crucially, these are reportedly different from those offered for the standard iPhone 17. This marks a departure from the current strategy, where the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus share identical color options.
The leaked color palette for the iPhone 17 Air includes three colors that are similar, though perhaps not identical, to those on the standard iPhone 17: black, white, and a pale blue. The fourth color for the iPhone 17 Air is a pale gold.While these leaks provide a compelling preview, the definitive answers will, as always, be revealed by Apple in the coming weeks. The potential for a bold new orange on the Pro models and a more refined, perhaps simpler, color story for the standard and Air variants suggests an exciting evolution in the iPhone’s aesthetic.
