Apple’s Regular iPhone 17 Stays Classic, While Pro Models Shine in Bold New Colors
The regular iPhone 17 may keep its traditional color palette, but Apple’s Pro and Air models are making waves with bold new finishes — including a striking orange copper and an airy light blue.
🍏 Apple’s iPhone 17 Lineup: Fresh Colors, Familiar Excitement
Apple’s next iPhone event is almost here, and while the regular iPhone 17 is expected to stick to its usual polished look, the Pro models are about to get a big splash of personality. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will debut in a stunning orange copper finish — a bold departure from Apple’s recent titanium-inspired muted tones.
Meanwhile, the all-new iPhone 17 Air (replacing the iPhone 16 Plus) will arrive in a light blue shade that’s rumored to appear almost white in dim lighting. This softer, almost ethereal hue is expected to feature heavily in Apple’s marketing push for the device.
🎨 The Color Lineup
- iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max: Orange Copper, Black, White, Dark Blue
- iPhone 17 Air: Light Blue (plus other standard colors, TBD)
- Regular iPhone 17: Expected to maintain more traditional finishes
This move highlights Apple’s strategy of using color differentiation to draw sharper lines between its tiers: the regular iPhone 17 appeals to the classic crowd, while the Pro and Air models experiment with vibrant and trend-setting finishes.
📅 The Countdown Is On
Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal event is rumored for Tuesday, September 9, with pre-orders starting September 12 and launch day slated for September 19. With new materials (part-glass, part-aluminum for the Pro line) and fresh design tweaks, Apple fans have plenty to look forward to beyond just new colors.
In short, if you’re going for timeless, the regular iPhone 17 is your safe bet. But if you’re looking to turn heads? Orange copper might be your next pocket statement piece.
