Almost every year, Apple experiments with a new shade for its iPhone series. 2025 looks to be the year of orange, as multiple leaks have suggested the two top-end Pro phones will come in black, white, dark blue, and a shade somewhere between orange and copper.
Now, a new leak suggests Apple is erring toward an even brighter shade of orange than many had expected. Apple leaker Sonny Dickson has shared images of the iPhone 17 series in dummy units, which shows what he believes the company will sell as its Orange option.
First look at iPhone 17 color dummies, The new orange really stands out this year — definitely a bold addition. Thoughts?

Dickson hasn't shared where the units are sourced from, but his reporting on iPhone colors has previously been correct. He correctly shared dummy units of the iPhone 16 Pro series ahead of launch, which suggests this could also be accurate.
However, as with all leaks, take it with a pinch of salt until we hear confirmation directly from Apple.
Things may get even more colorful for the iPhone 17 with options of Black, Green, Light Blue, Purple, Steel Gray, and White. The Black and White are expected to match the shades used on the iPhone 16.
The iPhone 17 Air is a little more limited coming in four options of Black, Light Blue, Light Gold, and White.

Last weekend, a different iPhone 17 Pro leak said there may be three new camera upgrades in the works. The source said they worked on an ad for the upcoming phone series, and they claimed Apple is pushing up to 8x optical zoom on both Pro phones.
The leak also said the iPhone 17 will come with a pro-level camera app to compete with options like Halide, Kino, and Filmic Pro.
However, the source also said there would be a new physical Camera Control button to help you access your shooter's settings. None of the leaked dummy units include this button, though, and we'd normally expect to have seen other evidence of that at this stage in the production process.
