With Apple’s upcoming iPhone event now roughly two months away, we’re observing a significant increase in rumors surrounding the iPhone 17. The latest insight comes from Majin Bu, providing details on potential color options for Apple’s ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air. Previous speculation hinted at a blue variant, but Bu’s current leak indicates that the iPhone 17 Air might launch in four different colors.
According to Bu, the colors for the iPhone 17 Air at launch are expected to include black, silver, light gold, and light blue. The blue hue will reportedly resemble the blue option found on Apple’s M4 MacBook Air.
Other iPhone 17 colors
In summary, it appears Apple is opting for a soft color scheme for the iPhone 17 Air. Another interesting rumor to highlight is that the entry-level iPhone 17 may feature a new color option, either a light lime green or a gentle shade of purple. It’s important to note that the current iPhone 16 lineup includes teal, pink, white, black, and ultramarine, suggesting we might experience a similar variety of choices for the base iPhone 17.
It is anticipated that Apple will adopt a slightly different strategy regarding color selections for its iPhone 17 Pro lineup. Historically, Apple has chosen richer colors for its iPhone Pro line, with Midnight Green from the iPhone 11 Pro being a notable example.
iPhone 17 Air will be Apple’s slimmest device so far
Reports indicate that Apple’s iPhone 17 Air will boast a thickness of just 5.5mm, marking it as the thinnest iPhone ever produced. Until now, the slimmest iPhone was the iPhone 6, which was 6.9mm thick. Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be exceptionally lightweight. At only 145 grams, it will be lighter than Apple’s iPhone SE 2.
Further iPhone 17 specifications
Apple’s iPhone 17 Air is said to include a 6.6-inch 120Hz ProMotion display and will be powered by the company’s A19 Pro processor. The device will also come with 12GB of RAM, in line with the iPhone 17 Pro models.
In contrast, the entry-level iPhone 17 will arrive with 8GB of RAM. Consequently, it’s evident that Apple is positioning the iPhone 17 Air as a premium device, likely at a higher price point than the base-model iPhone 17. Notably, this year marks the first time iPhone models will be available with 12GB of RAM.
