A leak has revealed all the colors of the Apple iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 Pro (Max), based on information allegedly sourced from internal Apple documents. The iPhone 17 Air reportedly uses brighter colors to reinforce the appearance of a lighter smartphone.

After accessory leaks revealed initial information about the colors of the iPhone 17 series, Macworld has allegedly obtained internal Apple documents containing references to the Pantone colors in which the successors to the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Pro will be offered. According to these documents, Apple plans to offer the iPhone 17 base model in the following colors:

  • Black
  • White (like the iPhone 16)
  • Steel Gray (Pantone 18-4005-TPG)
  • Green (Pantone 2282 U)
  • Purple (Pantone 530 U)
  • Light blue (Pantone 658 U)

The iPhone 16 was available in pink, green and blue, but the colors are apparently changing drastically. Steel Gray is completely new and gives customers an option for a dark gray as an alternative to the popular black iPhone.
 


The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly be available in only four colors: white and black, as well as light blue and light gold. Interestingly, Apple is opting for lighter colors for the ultra-thin model than the iPhone 17, which is intended to contribute to a "lighter" look. The blue model is said to be inspired by the MacBook Air in Sky Blue. The exact colors of the iPhone 17 Air are as follows:

  • Black
  • White (brighter than iPhone 16)
  • Light blue (Pantone 657 U)
  • Light gold (Pantone 11-0604 TPG Gardenia)
     


The Apple iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will come in white, black, and gray as usual, with new versions in dark blue and orange. The frame color of all models is likely to differ at least slightly from the iPhone 16 Pro, as the latter will be made of aluminum instead of titanium. The following colors are reportedly planned for the Pro models:

  • Black
  • White
  • Gray (like natural titanium)
  • Dark blue (Pantone 19-4025 TPG Mood Indigo)
  • Orange (Pantone 1501243 TCX Papaya)
