There’s always another narrative about the iPhone 17 prior to its actual launch. Although MacWorld’s Filipe Espósito disclosed all 15 colors anticipated for this upcoming series, Weibo leaker Instant Digital posits that the “white” hue for the iPhone 17 Pro might be more captivating than initially presumed.
In a post, the leaker mentioned the existence of a “special” color variant that could be “linked to the iOS 26 Liquid Glass design.” While there are various ways Apple could forge that link, witnessing the company advance this integration of software and hardware will be intriguing.
The firm’s most ambitious software update in recent years is set to coincide with a hardware modification. Thus, it’s only logical for Apple to consider introducing a distinctive color for the iPhone 17 Pro.
From a marketing standpoint, Apple might find itself with an overload of “primary” colors to promote for the iPhone 17 Pro. It’s already projected to arrive in fresh Orange and Deep Blue finishes. If a transparent variant is included, that adds yet another aesthetic to highlight.
What leads me to believe this leak could be credible is that X user Majin Bu recently posted images of third-party lens covers that might showcase the new iPhone 17 colors. Instead of referencing a white choice, the leaker mentioned a “Transparent” one, which could align perfectly with this emerging rumor.
Additionally, since Apple has started employing new technology to apply color within the iPhone glass, it seems plausible that the company might adjust this technique to permit the iPhone’s color to subtly change based on lighting conditions.
Wrap up
Naturally, this is all conjecture, and we have a couple of months to wait before Apple reveals the new iPhone 17 series. Numerous alterations are expected for these devices, including an entirely new Air model, enhanced cameras, better processors, a completely new software, and more.
