iPhone 17 Pro Could Come in Surprising Orange Color, Dummy Models Suggest

[MacRumors]

We're just six weeks away from the launch of new iPhone models, and rumors are ramping up as September creeps closer. We've heard plenty of details about the prospective colors for the iPhone 17 lineup, but leaker Sonny Dickson today shared iPhone 17 dummy models that supposedly feature the shades that Apple has picked.

Dickson's images feature the iPhone 17 Pro models in black, white, dark blue, and orange. The orange shade is particularly bright and not typically in line with what Apple chooses for the Pro models. Apple's colors are often more muted, but it could be an issue of angle or lighting. Prior leaks suggested that the orange could be more of a copper color than a true orange, so we'll have to wait to see how closely the dummy model matches with the final color.

The dark blue shade is more of what we'd expect for an iPhone 17 Pro, though even it isn't quite as subdued as what Apple usually chooses. It's worth noting that rumors have suggested the 17 Pro models could also be available in a gray color, which is missing here. There were also rumors of a color shifting shade that appears white but changes color with light, which also doesn't seem to be depicted.

As for the iPhone 17 Air, the dummy models are depicted in black, white, gold, and a light blue, similar to the light blue of the MacBook Air. Those are all four colors that we've seen rumored for the iPhone 17 Air.

The iPhone 17 models are shown in black, white, blue, and a purple that looks more like a pink. Rumors have suggested the iPhone 17 could come in black, white, steel gray, purple, and light blue. The blues for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are similar, but not identical.

Dummy model designs are often accurate, but the colors the dummy models come in don't always provide the clearest picture of what an iPhone will actually look like. Differences in lighting, sheen, and material often mean that the final version of the iPhone looks a lot better than what leaks.

The new logo placement is a choice.

I really hope the camera bump on the pro will be made of aluminum and not glass... At least make the phone more durable and don't just change things for the sake of change

 

[Prof.]

Navy all the way. 😍

 

[jz0309]

that "orange" seems very different from th4e orange action button on the AW Ultra. I'm hoping the 17PM will get the AWU action button color ...

 

[joefrank64k]

That orange is yummy.

Might have to switch to Pro Max from the Air, haha!!

 

[swrobel]

Wish it was copper, but this is second best!

 

[blairh]

Absolutely getting the 17 Pro in orange.

 

[dumastudetto]

These new iPhones truly are shaping up to be the most incredible Apple has ever made. The all-new shades of orange is literally stunning in every sense of the word.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about the colour of a phone? I slap a case on it and call it a day. I guess those who brave it without a case can enjoy their chipped orange after the first or second drop!

 

[JosephAW]

Yes but what rhymes with orange? 📱 🟧

 

[UliBaer]

Yeeesss, the orange for me please! 👍

Halloween, hence the color. I am being fictitious

 

[fatTribble]

I’d call it Dusty Pumpkin 🤪

 

[marinersaptcomplex]

Confused by the dummy 17 Pro models styling and the purported aluminum unibody with glass cutout renders seen everywhere else…the textural differences would be important to see on colour testing dummy models

 

[klasma]

Yes but what rhymes with orange? 📱 🟧

Blorenge.

Or, in this case, maybe papaya.

Isn't the point of the big bump to house the vapor chamber? Either way, aluminum improves cooling as well as durability. I wouldn't be surprised if Tim kept glass backs around just for the extra repair revenue.

Leaks at times seem more like people's minds leaking brain cells than facts.

(...) I wouldn't be surprised if Tim kept glass backs around just for the extra repair revenue.

The glass is needed for wireless charging. It doesn't work in metal housings.

[edit] Plastic would also work.

My hopes are that the enlarged bump will make space for something useful inside - whatever it is... Anyway, best to take these rumors with a grain of salt, and we'll see in a few weeks.

That would be the point of the rumored cutout that isn't shown here, and not the glass surrounding the cameras.

I was really planning on hanging onto my 15 until the 18 series is released, but that orange is tempting. 🤔

 

[jmgregory1]

I’m a huge fan of the color orange, but I’m not sure I can take having a color that will look dated a year later. Not to mention the fact that I love the raw titanium 15PM I’ve got, that is I love the raw titanium, and shifting back to aluminum doesn’t seem like an upgrade to me.

The bump is to accommodate some new camera hardware. The vapor chamber is a larger (but thin) panel spanning much of the space inside the housing, somewhat smaller in width and height than the entire rectangular housing, though the exact size seems to vary depending on the smartphone model:

Orange available only if you buy your iPhone 17 in the month of October

 

[AncTreat5358]

The orange is certainly a statement, but I think I'd be distracted by it way too much. I'm team Dark Blue at this point.

With that said, I'll be upgrading from an iPhone 13 that is green with a neat soft neon green case that dithers to black on the bottom. I will sure miss that color, as I liked making a subtle point of being friendly for the planet. ;0
