iPhone 16 Pro too boring for you? These rumored 17 Pro colors could be worth the wait
The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are both fantastic devices, but when it comes to their colors they’re arguably a bit boring, with only four shades to choose from, none of which are particularly bright. However, Apple could inject a little more life into the iPhone 17 Pro’s colors, at least based on the latest leak.
According to leaker Majin Buwriting on their own website (via NotebookCheck), they have learned that Apple is considering releasing the iPhone 17 Pro (and probably also the iPhone 17 Pro Max) in Teal Titanium, Green Titanium or Dark Green Titanium.
You can see what these might all look like in the image below, with dark green titanium on the left, blue-green titanium in the middle, and green titanium on the right, and apparently only one of these shades will be used, if any is. Bu adds that they predict the Teal Titanium option will be the most likely to be used, as Apple already offers the iPhone 16 in teal.
If any of these shades are used, you should have a slightly brighter and more striking option than all of the iPhone 16 Pro colors, including Desert Titanium, Natural Titanium, White Titanium, and Black Titanium.
That would be great news, as Apple’s emphasis on offering only subdued colors on its Pro line is a constant source of disappointment.
Unlikely for three reasons
However, we’re taking this leak with a grain of salt for several reasons. First of all, the fact that Apple always uses subdued colors means that everything appears brighter, although it is possible that there is a slightly darker version of one of these colors in there.
Second, the source of this leak has a mixed track record. They’ve been right before, but they’ve also been wrong.
And third, it’s very early for iPhone 17 leaks, and even if Apple really is considering one of these shades, it’s entirely possible that the company will ultimately decide against it.
Unfortunately, we didn’t expect to see these colors on the iPhone 17 Pro line, especially as pictured. But we really hope this leak materializes, as wanting a high-end phone in no way means you don’t want it in a bright, vibrant or flashy color.
