iPhone 17 Rumors: Apple's Bold New Color Leaks
- Apple might be thinking green—literally—with the iPhone 17 Pro.
- Rumors suggest Apple could introduce a unified button for a sleeker design.
- The iPhone 17 Slim could be the thinnest model yet… what’s Apple got up its sleeve?
- Teal, Green, Dark Green—will these vibrant colors break Apple's Pro color tradition?
It’s been just under a month since Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 lineup, but rumors about the upcoming iPhone 17 series are already making waves. One of the more exciting rumors centers on new color options for the iPhone 17 Pro models, with several sources suggesting a greener future—quite literally.
Potential Color Leaks: Teal, Green, and Dark Green Titanium
According to renowned leaker Majin Bu, Apple is “thinking about” introducing three new colorways for the iPhone 17 Pro: Teal Titanium, Green Titanium, and Dark Green Titanium. These new shades would mark a significant shift from Apple’s traditional Pro colors, which typically lean towards muted tones like Black, White, and Desert Titanium.
While Apple has ventured into colorful territory with its standard iPhone 16 models—offering a teal option—this would be the first time vibrant shades could make their way to the Pro line. However, as Bu points out, nothing is set in stone just yet: “Apple is still considering its options, and we’re months away from a final decision.”Photo via Bajin Bu // iPhone 17 Pro concept in shades of green.
Apple’s Usual Pro Color Strategy
Historically, Apple has reserved more vibrant color options for its non-Pro models. This trend continues with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, both of which offer lively shades like pink and ultramarine. The Pro models, meanwhile, have stuck to more subdued tones, including the new Desert Titanium, which debuted with the iPhone 16 Pro.
This conservative color strategy could mean that only one of the rumored green shades will actually make it to the iPhone 17 Pro. Teal seems to be the front-runner, particularly since the iPhone 16 standard models already feature a similar color. As always with Apple, though, nothing is confirmed until the official launch.
A History of Mixed Rumors
It’s worth noting that Majin Bu’s track record with Apple leaks has been somewhat hit-or-miss. While the tipster has been correct about certain details in the past, some predictions haven’t come to fruition. As a result, these latest rumors should be taken with a pinch of skepticism.
iPhone 17 Lineup: What Else Can We Expect?
While color speculation is fun, the iPhone 17 Pro series will likely come with other significant upgrades. Reports indicate the lineup will consist of:
- iPhone 17
- iPhone 17 Air (more info on this one below)
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
In addition, rumors suggest that Apple could introduce a new model—the iPhone 17 Slim (or possibly Air), which may replace the Plus variant. This would potentially be the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made, further differentiating it from the rest of the lineup.Photo via YouTube // Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Air—or iPhone 17 Slim—may look radically different than any other iPhone we've ever seen.
Major Changes in the iPhone 17 Pro
Besides color, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to feature some major hardware tweaks, including:
- 12GB of RAM for enhanced performance, especially in AI-related tasks.
- The new A19 Pro chipset, reportedly built on a cutting-edge 2nm process, promising even greater power efficiency and performance.
- A possible unified button, replacing the separate volume and Action buttons to create a cleaner, slimmer design.
These rumored changes, coupled with Apple’s consistent focus on premium materials, suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro will aim to set new benchmarks for design and performance.
Conclusion: What Does This Mean for Apple Fans?
If these rumors hold true, the iPhone 17 Pro could be one of the most exciting launches in recent years. From bold new colors to significant hardware advancements, there’s plenty for Apple enthusiasts to look forward to. However, as always, it's important to temper excitement with caution—there's still a long way to go before the iPhone 17 becomes a reality.
