The iPhone 17 series is expected to land in the next couple of months, and we may now know what colors you’ll be able to buy. According to three different sources, there will be 15 color options available across the iPhone 17 series.
This information is all from leakers, so there’s no guarantee it will turn out to be accurate. The matching information comes from Majin Bu, Sonny Dickson, and now a source known to Macworld. Macworld’s source verified that the iPhone 16 Pro would come in its Desert Titanium color before that phone launched. That's a good sign this source has accurate information.
If these leaks are correct, each of the iPhone 17 phones will come in the same standard Black and White versions as the previous handsets. For the standard iPhone 17, you'll have four other options of Green, Light Blue, Purple, and Steel Gray.
The phone rumored to be called the iPhone 17 Air, a new addition to the lineup, is set to come in two other colors alongside the Black and White. Those are Light Blue and Light Gold. It’s unclear if the Light Blue will match across both this and the iPhone 17, but Macworld’s sources claim the Light Blue iPhone 17 Air will be a similar shade to the company’s latest new MacBook Air and its Sky Blue version.
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are set to come in the same Black and White shades as the iPhone 16 Pro series, alongside three new colors. One of those is Gray, which is a reworked version of Natural Titanium from 2024. The other two are Dark Blue and Orange.
This would mark the first time Apple has introduced an orange iPhone. It’s something we’ve seen similar to before with the Coral iPhone XR in 2018 but this appears to be different. Macworld made a render of what this new shade could look like, and the image is looking like a rustier orange rather than a bright color.

According to sources speaking to The Information, Apple will be switching from titanium to aluminum for this year's phones. That may be why Apple has decided to opt for these colors.
We won’t know the iPhone 17 colors for certain until Apple announces them on stage, but that's likely to happen in the next couple of months. Apple often introduces its new iPhone series in early Sept., and it’s believed Apple may host its event on the week of Sept. 8.
