Apples potential debut of a revolutionary color option for the iPhone 17 marks uncharted territory for the tech giant.
In a surprising turn of events, rumors are circulating about the upcoming iPhone 17, suggesting a significant design change that includes a new color palette. While the information has not been officially confirmed by Apple, it aligns with the company's recent direction.
A New Look for the iPhone 17
The new design of the iPhone 17 is said to embody Apple's 'Think Different' mantra, marking a radical departure from the traditional iPhone look. According to a well-regarded Apple leaker, the new model is expected to feature a holographic, iridescent, or shiny design.
The leaker has also revealed that the iPhone 17 will come in three new colors: a medium gray variant known as "Steel Gray", a light, fresh Green, and a more saturated but lighter Purple. These colors are designed to subtly shift or appear differently depending on ambient light, with Steel Gray blending lighter and darker tones, thus changing perception under various lighting conditions.
The iPhone's Color Evolution
Until now, Apple has stuck to single hues for the iPhone, and until recently, these have mostly been of the silver, grey, or silvery grey variety. Brighter colors have only recently emerged for the iPhone, and the company has yet to release a hot pink iPhone.
The new color palette, if implemented, would be the first significant change in the iPhone's color palette in recent years. The new colors are said to complement the Liquid Glass design language of iOS 26.
Other Expected Changes
In addition to the new color palette, the iPhone 17 is rumored to have a new, exclusive color for the iPhone 17 Pro, which is expected to feature a radically different camera array. A new model, the iPhone 17 Air, is also anticipated.
However, some experts question whether the new design will be enough to make the iPhone exciting again, considering recent missteps by the company. Only time will tell if the iPhone 17 will live up to the hype.
