iPhone 17 Pro Could Arrive in Bold New Orange and Blue Colours, Leaks Reveal

Highlights

• Leaks suggest the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will come in four colours – Black, Silver, Dark Blue and a striking new Orange.
• AppleInsider shows five colours versus Majin Bu’s four.
• The standard iPhone 17 may launch in six colours including new shades like Green and Purple.
• The iPhone 17 Air could feature Light Gold and a brighter White.

The iPhone 17 series is still months away, but leaks are already giving us a glimpse of what to expect, especially when it comes to colour options. According to recent reports, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max might be getting a splash of colour with new orange and dark blue variants. These would come alongside classic options like black and silver. Here’s a quick roundup of all new leaks.

iPhone 17 Pro Models – Colour Variants

Tipster Majin Bu recently shared a blog post claiming that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be available in just four colours –

• Black
• Dark Blue
• Orange
• Silver

Bu also released some renders showing what these colours might look like.

These colour choices are reportedly based on information from an “accessory manufacturer and sources close to Apple.” Notably, there’s no mention of a Grey variant, which Macworld had previously said was in the works. That would bring the Pro lineup back to four options, rather than expanding to five, a shift that lines up with Apple’s usual approach, but still raises eyebrows because of the bold orange shade.

The Silver and Black in the renders look familiar, similar to past Pro models. As for Dark Blue colour variant, it resembles the iPhone 15 Pro’s finish. The Orange, however, is something entirely new and definitely eye-catching.

Colour That Changes With the Light

Adding another layer of intrigue, leaker Instant Digital says one of the iPhone 17 Pro colours will have a unique effect that works with iOS 26’s upcoming Liquid Glass interface.

According to their translated post, “It should be white, but it will have different effects under different light.”

Other Sources Sharing iPhone 17 Renders

AppleInsider has also created its own set of renders, claiming they’re based on “prevalent rumours and speculation.” These show five colours, Orange, Dark Blue, Grey, Black and Silver. Now, this seemingly contradicts Majin Bu’s report.

These renderings were reportedly based on an “internal document” seen by Macworld, which detailed upcoming colours and even listed their Pantone codes.

While the Black and Grey tones appear to line up with the iPhone 16 Pro’s Black Titanium and Natural Titanium, the other three shades like the Orange, Dark Blue and Silver are fresh additions.

iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air Colour – What We Know?

As for the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup, including the standard model and the new iPhone 17 Air, Macworld’s leak sheds some light on their colour options too.

The iPhone 17 will reportedly come in six colours –

• Black
• White
• Steel Grey
• Green
• Purple
• Light Blue

Black and White are expected to match the iPhone 16’s look, while the other four will be entirely new.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air is said to launch in –

• Black
• White
• Light Blue
• Light Gold

According to Majin Bu, the Black option will be carried over from the iPhone 16, while the White will appear slightly brighter.

Overall, while reports are unconfirmed, what we can see from all the speculations is that Apple seems to be shaking things up with the iPhone 17 lineup. This could be especially true for the Pro models, where a bold Orange finish and even light-shifting effects might be on the table.

As for the lineup, we already know that Apple has redesigned the iPhone 17 Pro, created a new iPhone 17 Air and dropped the Plus model from the upcoming lineup. All this will arrive with iOS 26 featuring Liquid Glass fall season.
