The iPhone 17 Pro Might Come in Yet Another Shade of Blue, When Other Colors Exist

Besides a monolithic camera bump, this year’s iPhone 17 Pro volition reportedly travel successful a entity blue, according to MajinBu, a prolific leaker who has antecedently shared close accusation connected Apple products anterior to their authoritative announcement.

Apple tends to play it harmless erstwhile it comes to colour options for its top-of-the-line iPhone Pro and Pro Max. Your choices are typically much mature—sorry, professional—colors similar black, white, gray, oregon some shadiness of gold. Only normie iPhone users privation amusive and vibrant colors (like the teal iPhone 16!) apparently.

It’s not that I hatred entity blue—the hue mightiness lucifer the sky bluish M4 MacBook Air—or blue. Blue is really my favourite color. But if the rumor ends up correct, I conscionable person 1 thought: bluish again?

Apple’s already done bluish iPhone Pros, including ones that are entity blue-ish similar the “sierra blue” iPhone 13 Pro successful 2021. Before that, determination was a darker “pacific blue” iPhone 12 Pro released successful 2020. Last year, the iPhone 15 Pro came successful “blue titanium.” That’s already 3 shades of blue!

Sure, Apple has tried non-blue colors similar the “alpine green” iPhone 13 Pro and “deep purple” iPhone 14 Pro, but those colors were truthful muted, they virtually don’t radiance done erstwhile you propulsion a lawsuit on. Would it termination Apple to springiness the iPhone Pro bid astatine slightest 1 mentation with immoderate vibrancy?

Gizmodo unit look to agree. Consumer tech newsman Kyle Barr wants a banana yellow (like the iPhone 14/14 Plus) and Gizmodo alum and existent contributing writer Alex Cranz wants Apple to bring backmost the alpine green. I’m demanding Apple spell brighter. Somebody find Apple’s “courage” and flip successful Tim Cook’s direction. Give america a caller shadiness of the coral and lime greenish past seen connected the iPhone 5C. Or however astir a red? Apple’s reddish iPhones person been done successful concern with PRODUCT(RED), but the last 1 was the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus successful 2022. Apple nary longer sells immoderate the last-standing PRODUCT(RED) iPhone SE aft it released the iPhone 16e earlier this year.

It’s improbable that Apple volition astonishment america with an breathtaking caller colour for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max this year. I conjecture if you do similar blue, Apple volition beryllium blessed to merchantability you yet different shadiness of it.
