The iPhone 16 may have just arrived, but it’s never too early for leaks about the next-gen iPhone. That’s why iPhone 17 rumors seem to be heating up ahead of its release next fall.
For ‘X’, tipster Majin Bu revealed that next year’s iPhone 17 Pro lineup will be available in three new colorways. Bu is hedging his bets as Apple is reportedly “considering” new shades for next year’s Pro models.
According to Bu, rumored shades include Teal Titanium, Green Titanium, and Dark Green Titanium. Of the three colors, Green or Dark Green are the most likely colorways to debut. This is mainly because Apple wants to separate the Pro line a bit from the standard and Plus models. Among the current iPhones, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come in teal options.
However, we are not ready to completely believe this rumor. First of all, Apple tends to favor muted colors in its Pro line, so there may not actually be any more vibrant colors. Brighter colors tend to be reserved for Standard and Plus models, like the pink and ultramarine options in this year’s lineup.
And second, Majintake has a mixed history when it comes to Apple rumors. So I’ll take this with a grain of salt.
According to new information sent to me, the new iPhone 17 Pro lineup may come in specific shades:⁰#004349 (Teal Titanium)⁰#4f00b7 (Green Titanium)⁰# 003800 (Dark Green Titanium)). Full article: https://t.co/wKDR3WFP50 pic.twitter.com/c0yB7c396XOctober 7, 2024
Apple may be experimenting with different colorways of the iPhone 17 series as it gets closer to production, but that process is still several months away. It will be a long time before Apple chooses the colors for next year’s iPhone.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are currently available in natural titanium, white titanium, black titanium, and desert titanium with metallic rose gold color.
Next year’s lineup is expected to include the main iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple is rumored to be replacing the Plus with the iPhone 17 Slim or Air, which could be the thinnest iPhone ever made. If this becomes a reality, the device will be very different from other models. Perhaps that’s where Apple really plays with color.
