The iPhone 17 series, which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (or Slim), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, is anticipated to launch in September of this year. A range of leaks have already provided insights into the design and hardware upgrades expected for these models. A new leak, however, has added an exciting twist to the upcoming release, revealing that the iPhone 17 Pro might debut in a brand-new color option that hasn’t been seen since 2021. The color in question is said to closely resemble the latest shade introduced with the MacBook Air M4.
According to a tipster named Majin Bu, who claims to have sources close to Apple’s supply chain, prototypes of the iPhone 17 Pro have been produced in several colors, with sky blue currently standing out as the most promising. The tipster describes the color as a “soft, elegant blue, inspired by the clear sky of a spring morning.” This new finish is expected to make the iPhone 17 Pro look fresh and distinctive, providing a bright yet refined appearance.
An image shared by the tipster gives us a sneak peek at how the iPhone 17 Pro could look in this new sky blue finish. This color option is expected to be revealed during Apple’s upcoming launch event, barring any last-minute changes. Apple introduced a similar Sky Blue shade with the MacBook Air M4 models last month, so the iPhone 17 Pro could follow suit with this sleek and appealing hue. In contrast, last year’s iPhone 16 Pro came in bold titanium colors such as Black, Desert, Natural, and White Titanium. The new sky blue shade is yet to be confirmed as a replacement for any of these colors in the Pro lineup.
As for the iPhone 17 Pro’s other specifications, recent reports suggest that it will feature a 6.3-inch display, matching the current model’s size. The phone is expected to be powered by Apple’s next-generation A19 Pro chip, built using TSMC’s advanced 3nm process. Additionally, iOS 19 is expected to bring an exciting dual video recording feature to the device. The iPhone 17 Pro will likely sport an aluminum frame and could come with up to 12GB of RAM. Camera improvements are also on the horizon, with a new 48-megapixel telephoto lens expected to enhance the triple rear camera setup, along with a 12-megapixel selfie camera for better front-facing shots.
