This new iPhone design is warranting a newer color that uses actual college degrees in becoming the design into a product and enshrines the design ideology. Never before done that isn't playing safe. The clown color (clown fart theology that is apple needs to die) this color is hideous. Even if exactly the older version. Stop being yes men and agree. This is BAD. Can we please go to a wine pallette?

I'd like something more vibrant, but clearly Apple just likes drab. Just like with my car, I bought something that wasn't on the white to black spectrum. Bright blue Civic. Very easy to spot in a parking lot.

Oh well, I always go with a minimalistic case anyway so I can tell the difference between my iPhone and the other five on a dinner table.
 


Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 Pro in a new Sky Blue color, the same color that debuted on the latest M4 MacBook Air models Apple released in March. That's according to the leaker Majin Bu.

Writing on his website, Bu claims that "sources close to the supply chain confirm that several iPhone 17 Pro prototypes have been made in various colors, with Sky Blue currently the frontrunner." Bu goes on to say that it "looks even more stunning than the much-loved Sierra Blue of the iPhone 13 Pro, with a brightness and refinement that make it irresistible."

The Sky Blue finish on the MacBook Air is not very saturated, and the color's appearance can vary based on lighting conditions. Apple describes it as "a beautiful, metallic light blue that creates a dynamic gradient when light reflects off of its surface."

Apple has stuck to muted colors for its recent iPhone "Pro" models made from titanium, and it offered a new Desert Titanium color for the iPhone 16 Pro, which also comes in Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium.

Majin Bu accurately revealed the "Desert Titanium" color name for iPhone 16 Pro models seven months before the devices launched. However, some of his information has been wrong, including a rumor about an iPad 11 being imminent in 2023.

This is the first rumor about iPhone 17 colors that we've covered. Assuming for now its accuracy, would you be interested in an iPhone 17 in the Sky Blue color Apple has already used for the MacBook Air? Let us know in the comments.

Do we know this for sure for the new model or are you going off past designs?
It's pretty certain, since otherwise the bump would have to be 4 mm thick and thus massively stick out of cases (instead of just the camera rings). They can't significantly reduce the overall thickness without walking back on camera quality.
 
They’re really just recycling the same ******** over and over and over again. “Make it a rectangle, take that blue from 2 years ago and throw a dash of white in it!”

Bang, they’ll love it!!!!

What’s the damn point of the rectangle? The lenses still pop out, so it’s still gonna wobble. Jesus christ just have it flush into the rectangle.

Apple has lost its touch.
 
… It’s a drag when there’s a really nice shade but it goes the next year. It’s not like they’re runway fashion apparel.

Not that it matters I guess, as most people (me too) immediately slap a case on it, but…
Rocking the purple 14 Pro Max with a clear case here.

Honestly the lack of exciting colors was another reason (on top of the phones being so similar these days) I stuck with my phone for so long as I used to update annually.
 
Is there to be a point for the elongated camera island? That looks like a photoshopped Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro.
 
Sierra blue vibes. Loved that color. But dear God Apple, if you’re not gonna give us better AI/Siri, and more multitasking on the software side, please give us a phone that looks different than the 11 Pros 6 years ago.

What happened to think different…???

Ok I know this is horrible - but this little accessory (which I have and love) gives me hope to make it all flush
