Every upgrade I have done I have been stuck with black due to blue not being an option. With blue and sexy spice orange being a choice this year it will be a tough choice. I’m super excited for the 17 Pro

What do you mean “surprising”? You guys had an article last week which referenced a report that contained the exact Pantone shades used for reference on the iPhone 17 series. The alleged Pantone shade looks exactly like the orange depicted here.

 
My 13 mini is small enough and fine for now.
Not excited at all about Apple's AI for that matter.
But pls surprice me, but it won't happen until Siri is stone-dead.

I'm the more excitd for Sam Altman and Joni's coming AI device.
See how things and how phones changes when AI takes next step. Apple with Tim Cook are just repeating themselves.
 


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.

Cue the “Who cares? Everyone uses cases.” debate. But anyways we’ve seen this rumor for at least 3 years and it never actually happens. I think they’re just planting rumors at this point. Also, I’ve been caseless for like a year and a half and not a scratch. These phones are tough.

It won't be that orange, nor should it be. It will have a deep, metallic orange color (similar to the AWU Action Button, but much deeper). Bet on it.

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.
I hear you. I had a 14PM in black and made the mistake of going with Natural Titanium for the 15PM. Will also be sad to see the Titanium go, but if the photo/video features are as compelling as I think they'll be, I may have to say goodbye. But if/when I do, it will be black all the way- I'm not making the same mistake again.
 
An orange colored Pro model will be great. Hope it comes true. As for the normal 17 model, expecting it to come in green color also. Have to wait and see.
 
One of my motorcycles is from 1972 and orange, so I think it's a cool retro color. Would buy an iPhone with the same color if my green iPhone 13 mini wasn't working so well.
