iPhone 17 Pro Only Comes in Three Colors, With No Black Option

[macduke]

The Deep Blue is a bit dull. Cosmic Orange it is! Since it's supposed to be stronger and more crack resistant, I might go caseless finally. Although this last year I had a case with a built-in magnetic rotating flip out stand from Anker, and that was a game changer, although about once per week if I wasn't careful it would stop MagSafe charging after like 10 minutes. So that wasn't great.

The pumpkin color is beyond hideous. Seriously, did someone make a clear iPhone case and then have Tim Cook take a poo in it?

That glass cutout on the back makes it look like the magsafe battery pack is permanently attached.

Which is ironic since it doesn't even work on this phone 😅

The rumour of six colours is still true, the peak is when the iPhones get released, it dips during spring. They bringing the classic colours like black back in Spring to make a peak momentum again and less hard work cause the colours are already available.

Maybe they found it chipped too easy revealing the aluminum underneath.

Yeah they don’t want a Chipped tooth Gate Lawsuit 👩‍⚖️ Thanks Cook 🧑‍🍳

The UK models have physical SIMs so we get the slightly smaller batteries.

Maybe it’s the spring 2026 default option?

There's never been a mid life colour refresh for the Pro. I wish that were true, I'm not planning to buy in the first few months anyway but I can't see it happening.

This is an inexplicably strange move, not having a black model.

The orange is fine. If you're a road cone or a construction worker. The fact that a "pro" device doesn't come in black (or at the very least, space gray) is preposterous.

 

[imamacperson]

Can't believe there is no black color option.
I have only owned iPhones with the black color. Hmm.

 

[JamesMay82]

not having black is a brave choice! Orange looks cool but I imagine the novelty would wear off.

What a downgrade from titanium to aluminum, to a chip that gets more heated, to a horrific low design from a very elite design. Weird..

100%, and it looks like Apple’s marketing team is extra busy in the comments on Macrumors today

The problem is also that case not match the color. The white phone there is no with case everything look awful to white . Black looks ok but still very mismatched

They’ll sell a bunch to Texas Longhorn fans.

🤘

OMG put a case on it and be quiet. Very few use them without cases.

The silver looks weird because in some lights the ceramic back looks white.

looks like a demo product in apple stores.

 

[AF_APPLETALK]

They finally did a good job with the colors! BRAVO!

okay so next time they can put a **** emoji on the back of the phone. because few use them without a case.

Tempted by the orange PM. Didn’t expect to upgrade this time, but might see what trade in I can get for my 14 PM once I get to see it in person.

 

[andiwm2003]

wow, i love orange so that's a win for me. But I feel for everyone who has better taste than me, or any taste at all. Because even in my favorite color this phone is ugly as %^&.
I will order the orange one in 256GB soon. But man is that ugly. Good that I don't care about looks that much and more about functionality.

Bit surprised by this, esims are pretty much everywhere now except China.

 

[martin2345uk]

I assume the weird white square on the back of the clear case is due to the fact that the MagSafe rings and the Apple logo are not aligned like in previous phones, so Apple thought that would look "weird"... though I think this solution also looks pretty weird!

Silver would’ve been the best if the glass panel was a bit darker. Torn between Navy and Silver.

They added Alpine Green to the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max color lineup, I believe in March following the initial September release.

Green iPhone 13 Pro, though I don't think they've added an extra spring colour since the yellow 14.
