Finally orange! 😍
I personally would prefer a darker more saturated "burnt" orange, but hey, at least a step in the right direction! 👍
Totally. I loved the metallic burnt orange iPod Shuffle

Colorway is not an Apple term. Nike, Adidas, Levi’s all use the term to describe a color.

Sometimes those companies use it correctly. “Colorway” refers to a color scheme with two or more colors. Like a pair of shoes that is both black and blue. But more often I see it used simply as a substitute for the word “color”, which it isn’t.
 
Orange.
I decided not to buy the iPhone 17 (15 pro here).
But Orange and darkmode 😍
(The green iphone 11 pro was also top notch)
 
Did anyone comment that orange is likely just to be a Gold variant?

I feel like I’ve heard this “orange” rumor before.
 
This really doesn't match the camera lens ring that shows a more shiny metallic color. Hopefully it will be darker.
The rings usually match the color of the metal band around the phone, which is generally somewhat different from the color of the back side. I’d say they fit well enough:

For comparison, the Desert Titanium rings/band vs. back side:

The camera bump will be there but the gradient rectangle wont; MacRumors doesn't even consistently show it on their mockups.
I can deal with the camera the rectangle is a no go. Anytime there’s a MR article about the 17 pro I see it. Only time I haven’t is on 17 and 17 air
 
Switched to an S25 Plus from the 15 Pro in April but missing the iPhone tbh. May go for a Blue 17 Pro Max or even the Orange depending on the shade.
 
I'm not even sure why we care about colors at all? From the front you don't see it, if you have a case you don't see it. So who is looking at the back of their naked phone?
We’re going to have an absolutely massive camera island on the back of the pros that’s going to be whatever color you picked. Most cases don’t cover this part.

The color has never been more relevant at least for the pros.
 
I haven't really cared until this point, but all of the sudden I am getting annoyed with Apple's colors. I mean, come on. Just pick a gray/dark, a blue, a green, a pink/purple, a silver/white and stick with it. Then have some type of special color each year...aqua, salmon, whatever. They tiny color tweaks here and there to mostly the same boring set of limited options doesn't work well for something as personal as phones. Laptops and iPads? Gray and silver, fine. But for phones, a little expansion in available colors and sticking with 4-5 base options y/y would be a welcome change in my book.
