Apple will offer the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in a new orange color, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Gurman made the claim in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, adding that the new iPhone 17 Air – replacing the iPhone 16 Plus – will come in a new light blue color.

We've heard multiple rumors about a new iPhone 17 Pro color being a shade of orange. The color has previously been described as having a copper finish. Dummy models have appeared that supposedly feature all the shades that Apple has chosen for its high-end smartphones. The other colors these have included are black, white, and dark blue.

The new lighter blue color option for the iPhone 17 Air has also been rumored multiple times. It was first mentioned by Weibo leaker "Fixed Focus Digital," who suggests that this blue shade will be central to Apple's marketing for the new device. Described as significantly lighter than any previous blue Apple has released, the color may appear almost white in low-light conditions.

Gurman has not mentioned any other colors for Apple's new iPhone lineup, but this is the first time he has referenced orange and light blue for iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air, respectively, suggesting he is confident the rumors are true.

Apple has stuck with muted colors for its recent iPhone "Pro" models made from titanium. For the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple offered a new Desert Titanium color. The iPhone 16 Pro also comes in Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium. Apple is expected to adopt a part-glass, part aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro models, so at least some new colors seem like a given.

The iPhone 17 series is now just weeks away. Apple's iPhone event this year is rumored to be scheduled for Tuesday, September 9. If Apple follows the traditional pattern, iPhone 17 pre-orders would begin on the Friday, September 12. The new devices would then likely reach customers and retail stores the following Friday, September 19.

I actually really like it. Looks copper to me. I'm due for an upgrade this year, and if the color actually stands up to this render in real life, this will be my pick.

Meh. It's an iPhone. The part you look at is almost completely screen, so the colour is irrelevant 95%+ of the time.

If you want a more individual color, just buy a case or skin. The vast majority of people will immediately put their shiny, new, very expensive phone in a case to protect it anyway.

Colours and emojis are the two things I don't understand as a motivation to upgrade hardware and software respectively.
 
The blue in the iPhone 12 lineup was perfect. I think it was the best looking iPhone ever. 13 series was also great.

That light blue is better than the colors on the 14/15/16, but still not my cup of tea.
 
Okay just hear me out. What if this “Liquid Glass color” is simply called “Natural” as in natural aluminum that can reflect objects giving it its trippy look. I’m starting to think that the dark blue iPhone may not be a thing. So we might get black, white, natural, and orange.
 
I want the Iridescent Colour that was rumoured.

If not, I hope the Sky Blue is available in 17 Pro Max as that’ll be my second option.

3rd options will be the Grey.

4th Black.
I’m thinking maybe that color you want might actually be “Natural Aluminum”? We will see.
 
Anything that isn’t 50 shades of grey is welcome. The colours need whimsy to match some of the iOS 26 animations. However, with a dullard at the helm, the colours might end up just reflecting that as usual. Hope they nail the orange though, but I won’t hold my breath. Space Orange may happen if I get my hopes too high.

In that photo - that’s not orange to me. If it’s the same color as the action button on the AW Ultra - that’s what I’m looking for.
