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.
Got a tip for us?

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

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

Agreed. The 3 Pro color options this year are all ***** imo.
I like to go caseless just to save some weight/thickness and see the nice design of the phone. I have various EDC load-outs of all titanium/stainless copper and brass if I want to mix things up(and match). While I do like bright orange in some cases (bag-linings/interiors, my MTB/accesories, random bits and bobs in my EDC kits), my phone is seen all the time in meetings, w/customers, etc. The orange is just not stealth or classy/executive enough for my liking to feel comfortable using/having out on a conference table while I'm wearing a suit.
I could have handled a true bronze, titanium or frankly would have rocked the liquid glass or iridescent color with confidence.
So, despite liking the color orange, it feels too flashy, the silver looks cheap compared to the last 5-6 generations of Pro or X, and it sucks that there is no black option. So, sounds like I'll be getting the Deep Blue.
