• The iPhone 17 Air to launched in muted and Pro-like colour tones to reflect its upscale positioning.

New leaks suggest that the upcoming iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will launch in a total of nine colour options. The details come from a Korean blog Naver, where the leaker known as “yeux1122” has shared what appear to be camera protector rings made for the new models, each in different colours to match the phone’s final finish.

Since these rings are colour-matched with specific iPhone models, they offer a pretty good hint at what colour choices Apple might offer this year.

iPhone 17 Colour Options

According to the leak, the iPhone 17 will be available in –

• Black
• Silver
• Blue
• Green
• Purple

This lines up with an earlier report that said Apple was testing new green and purple versions for the iPhone 17. So far, it seems that those two colours are likely to make the cut.

iPhone 17 Air Colour Options

Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to come in –

• Black
• Silver
• Gold
• Blue

These colour options match previous leaks from “Fixed Focus Digital” and “Majin Bu.” This further supports the idea that Apple is aiming for a more premium look for the iPhone 17 Air, especially since this model is expected to replace the iPhone 16 Plus and feature a thinner, more high-end design.

There was also a mention of a “transparent” component in the leaked images, but yeux1122 didn’t include that in the colour list. So, it’s likely not meant to be a new transparent colour option.

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus currently come in black, white, pink, teal, and ultramarine. With the iPhone 17 lineup, it looks like pink and teal are being swapped out for green and purple. Black, white, and ultramarine are likely being replaced with black, silver, and blue, keeping a similar core palette with updated tones.

In contrast, the iPhone 17 Air is leaning toward more muted, Pro-like colours, which makes sense considering its more premium positioning in the lineup.

The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are expected to launch this fall alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
