Lame colors as always. I'm more interested in knowing if they are really switching to aluminum in the Pro series, how is anyone going to pay $1,000+ for a premium phone made from aluminum after having stainless steel and titanium in previous years? I would definitely not.

Some ugly phones.
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.

I initially read this headline that the iPhone would come in a color called "Surprising Orange" and now I 100% hope that's what Apple calls it.
Have you not seen the muted colors that the Pro has come in from Day 1? How is orange NOT a bold color for the Pro?
I can't believe people are missing that connection. If this is real, I think it's definitely that orange and that's why it's that orange. That is totally my next color if the rumor is real
Yeah this is probably going to be a soft and pink-ish orange. The AWU orange would get me to trade in my 15 PM this year, one to two years earlier than I was planning.
The regular iPhone isn't nearly as thin as the iPhone Air, or whatever it'll be called.
