In recent weeks, multiple reports have reaffirmed the anticipated color options for the iPhone 17. A new article now validates the complete spectrum of colors set for the iPhone 17 series. Trusted source MacWorld’s Filipe Espósito claims to have acquired this information from insiders familiar with the devices.
What stands out regarding the iPhone 17 series is Apple’s plan to offer unique color choices for each model, which includes the standard version, iPhone Air, and iPhone Pro versions. Espósito’s findings correspond with earlier leaks from Majin Bu and Sonny Dickson, who have recently revealed some of the predicted colors.
Although MacWorld could not confirm the exact marketing names, the outlet did authenticate the Pantone colors that Apple aims to utilize for each release.
Colors for the base-model iPhone 17:
– Black
– White
– Steel Gray (Pantone 18-4005-TPG)
– Green (Pantone 2282 U)
– Purple (Pantone 530 U)
– Light Blue (Pantone 658 U)
This year, Apple is introducing a new hue to the base model while reintroducing purple and modifying the green tint.
Colors for the iPhone 17 Air:
– Black (same as iPhone 16)
– White (brighter and cooler than the iPhone 16)
– Light Blue (Pantone 657 U)
– Light Gold (Pantone 11-0604 TPG Gardenia)
Espósito highlights that Apple is concentrating on lighter shades for the iPhone 17 Air to accentuate the device’s slim and lightweight design. The Light Blue could be akin to the color choice available on the M4 MacBook Air depicted below.
Colors for the iPhone 17 Pro:
– Black (same as iPhone 16 Pro)
– White (same as iPhone 16 Pro)
– Gray (resembling Natural Titanium)
– Dark Blue (Pantone 19-4025 TPG Mood Indigo)
– Orange (Pantone 1501243 TCX Papaya)
The reporter anticipates an additional color for this model as well. Technically, all iPhone 17 Pro colors will be new, given Apple’s transition from a titanium frame to aluminum. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be unexpected if Cupertino eliminated either the white or gray option, as they may be too alike and add unnecessary confusion for consumers.
In recent years, Apple has generally provided five color choices for the base models and four for the Pro variants. Occasionally, it has launched a spring hue, though it hasn’t done so in the past few years.
Conclusion
There remain a few months until the iPhone 17’s official launch, but you now have a better understanding of what to anticipate regarding color selections. Explore more information about the series below.
