iPhone 17 Base Model Rumored to Come in New Purple and Green Colors

[bbzzz]

Who cares when most stick them in a case to protect the glass back and get rid of the camera bump.

I'd prefer a flat back, use the extra depth for more battery, make the back out of some non breakable plastic - I never look at the back, glass adds nothing but risk

I wish they could bring back the plastic body of the 5e.

You mean 5c?

I really liked the purple they had for iPhone 14 pro. Wish they’d bring that back.

instant pre order if purple happens

Don't forget us pro max users. 😎

I’m betting that it will not be called iPhone 17, it’ll be iPhone 26, 26 plus, 26 pro and 26 pro max

And let me guess…. Black silver white gold for pro models.

Hopefully the purple will be bright and not like the iPhone 11 purple. Wonder what other colour choices will be available with the 17 this year. Will be nice if the Pro models too get brighter colour options.

WHY CAN'T PRO HAVE FUN COLORS!

Pro stands for prosaic.

Then they couldn’t use 20 (or XX) for the 20th anniversary phone. So I’m betting against.

Oh ****. I think you're right.

I was thinking they'd keep the numbering up to iPhone 20 since it's such a landmark release, but it's not _really_ the 20th iPhone… and it's going to look ridiculous when they release iPhone 23, makes the line sound mega old. But the "car naming convention" skirts that problem perfectly.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm gonna set up a wager on Manifold Markets right now.

pfff I know Cosmo and Wanda when I see them

Give us a 5C green shade and I’m sold!

 

[lewchenko]

Anyone remember the bright Nokia colours of the Lumia era. The yellow 1020?
Now that was bold and courageous.
Pastels… sigh.
The 5c was the boldest colour choices Apple ever made in an iPhone. And arguably the most durable too being plastic and not glass.
The old days were great!

Bring back the colors of the 4th gen iPod nano lineup.

I think we’re all ready for super saturated 90s early mid 00s colours so yeah bring it on.

 

[bluecoast]

The Pro will only get the fun colors once their sales start to decline.

Pros are too serious for fun colours.

 

[HighwaySnowman]

Did anybody actually like the hideous pastels?

Because I've never heard anybody excited over those crappy bland colors.

 

[antonrg]

I just wish they focused more on actually delivering improvements and not rehashing the same design over and over and over again... We've seen the same design since 2020, with micro changes to camera arrangements/size.

WHY CAN'T PRO HAVE FUN COLORS!

Pro is for work and work is no fun!

 

[techfreak23]

I hope they bring back the deep purple Pros. I am holding on to my 14 Pro until then or until it dies.

WHY CAN'T PRO HAVE FUN COLORS!

Margins. The cost of tooling for that too high for  Finance. Don’t want the overpriced and unimaginative Pro “status” model margins to be affected. 50 shades of grey shall remain. But hey, a custom ringtone and wallpaper shall make you happy.

 

[Momof2.1107]

I wish Apple would come out with better colors for the pro models. The only colors I truly loved were the Rose Gold, XS / XS Max Gold, 12 Pro / Pro Max Pacific Blue and 14 Pro / Pro Max Deep Purple. Everything else was bland.
