For context, the rings will continue to be colored the same as the chassis that they’re stuck on, so this is a pretty accurate representation of what the new color will look like.

In my opinion, the orange pops and stands out from the rest of the color options. According to similar previous reports, iPhone 17 Pro colors include the following:
- Black
- Gray
- Silver
- Dark blue
- Orange
I’m glad that Apple seems to be taking a few more risks with the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. There was also supposedly a light blue color option as well, which has reportedly been scrapped and given to the iPhone 17 Air instead. A light blue iPhone 17 Air will, in my opinion, heavily resemble a Pixel 8 Pro with the “Bay” color option.
According to other reports, the base model iPhone 17 will be seeing a fun new color as well: a long-awaited purple iPhone 17 option. In addition to the aforementioned light blue shade, the iPhone 17 Air will also have green and purple color options if the images of the rings are accurate.
Desert Titanium on the iPhone 16 Pro was a very unique look in my eyes, and the orange for the iPhone 17 Pro will sort of continue that trend, albeit being a lot bolder. Of course, color options are hardly the biggest change for the new Pro lineup. The new models will see a revamped rear camera island, and the Air will be replacing the Plus model.
Samsung is also offering something similar for the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus: the online exclusive Coral Red color. However, it’ll have to step up its game for the Galaxy S26 Ultra to compete with the orange iPhone 17 Pro.
