iPhone 17 Pro could come in five brand new colors, leak suggests

There are now just two more months before the release of the next iPhone . But keen Apple fans now have a hint of what the iPhone 17 Pro might look like. If the latest rumors are to be believed, the iPhone might be even more eye-catching than ever before with five brand new colors. And, according to renders created by Apple Insider, the iPhone 17 Pro will be available in one very 'unusual' color.

This bold new color is widely expected to be a striking 'fluorescent' orange, potentially marking a major change in Apple's design style. This bold new look could be released alongside the more conventional options of Dark Blue, Grey, Black, and Silver. These potential colors were suggested by veteran Apple leaker Sonny Dickson , who shared an image of the lens protection rings supposedly for the upcoming iPhone.

On social media, the bold new color has divided Apple fans, with one commenter calling it 'the worst color of a phone I have ever seen.' Mr Dickson, who has a business selling framed and refurbished iPhones, suggests that the 'orange' color could be a copper or dark gold, which would be more in keeping with Apple's usual offerings for the Pro model. However, a separate leak by Macworld suggests that this will not be the case.

Macworld claimed to have accessed 'an internal document with the Pantone colors used as a reference for designing and building the new iPhones'. This document reportedly gave the reference for the orange tone as color named 'TCX Papaya', which is a bright, saturated orange. If true, this would be a significant departure from the muted and metallic designs Apple has favored for the Pro and Pro Max lines in recent years.

On social media, many fans greeted the news of a more colorful iPhone lineup with excitement. Apple commentator Majin Bu shared a render of what the new iPhone may look like, writing: 'iPhone 17 Pro Orange looks amazing.' 'The orange on the next iPhone Pro is kinda hot,' chimed in another. Another fan added: 'I might buy an iPhone for the first time if they launch it in orange. Just loved that color.'

However, not everyone was convinced that these new designs were a step in the right direction. 'iPhone 17 Pro in orange looks very bad,' one commenter wrote. While another slammed the design as 'the ugliest color they have ever made'. Unfortunately for Apple fans, there won't be any way to know for certain what the real colors will be until the iPhone 17 is officially launched in September.

MailOnline has contacted the company for comment, but Apple is staying tight-lipped about any potential design changes. However, there isn't too much longer to wait. Apple's iPhone 17 unveiling event is expected to be on Monday or Tuesday in the second week of September, broadcast live from Apple HQ in Cupertino, California.

The event's digital invite – potentially hinting at the iPhone 17's design – will be sent out to members of the press and industry analysts in the weeks prior. Apple fans will reportedly have four models to choose from – the standard model, an ultra-thin iPhone 17 'Air', and the more expensive iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.

iPhone 17 Air, also referred to as 'iPhone 17 Slim', is expected to be a lighter, thinner option – rivaling the Galaxy Edge recently released by Samsung . The standard iPhone 17 will have two camera lenses in a vertical alignment, one on top of the other.

But the other three options will have a rectangular camera bar across the back – similar to Google's Pixel phones. It suggests Apple needs more space on the back of the phone to pack in camera components for its high-end handsets. iPhone 17 will also have an aluminum frame with a glass back, enhanced cameras, and a powerful A18 chip for advanced AI tasks.
