Rumor Hints at 'Liquid Glass' iPhone 17 Pro Color Tied to iOS 26 Design

[CPTmom2wp]

Between the halfbreed design; Cheap looking aluminum material; and outright ugly camera array......won't be purchasing a new iPhone under the Upgrade program for the first time since it's inception. Will be keeping my 16Pro because it's elegant, does everything I need, ...and it's paid for.

In “Customize” offer an option to choose clear or frozed. Looks or legibility.

Frosted is still less legible than what we had before.

Iridescent iPhone lets' gooooooooo

I read "indecent iPhone" at first.

I'd prefer a decent one.

This is so cool! I love Liquid Glass, I really hope they follow through with the vision instead of appeasing a few loud voices and reverting to frosted glass.

Sounds cool

I like Liquid Glass as well, but there were some significant legibility issues with the original version we saw.

Sounds neat and all... but I want better battery life and less buggy software, first and foremost.

Battery life is very good, i have iPhone 14 Pro Max since 2022 now with 84% battery health and stills lasts me more than enough idk what yall are doing with yall phones.

So they should increase its opacity.

So they should increase its opacity.

You’d have to increase the opacity to 100% and also make it dark/light enough, at which point it’s not “frosted”” anymore. Any actual “frosted” comes with a decrease in contrast and/or clarity.

What’s old is new again with Apple.

Huawei and several others did this already back in 2018.

Makes sense.

“2018 budget android phone” seems to be Apple’s new design language.

BMW has color changing car paint.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a color changing iphone? I can't believe Samsung or Huawei didn't do it yet.

Sounds like it’s gonna get scratched up so easily lol. But sounds interesting. Will have to see real pictures of it to see what it actually looks like

I love the "pearlescent paint" effect on cars and such; this will look gorgeous on an iPhone if it's for real! I would buy it.

Where did this rumored color-way go?

After most of my hopes that the "orange" would finally be a copper option were dashed with the dummy leaks (I know they could still be off from the actual colors but it is a step in the wrong direction) now I really hope this iridescent option is going to be the white version or something...

I will miss my Raw Titanium and would rather not go back to black, but it is looking like that might be my preferred option compared to orange or navy.
