We may finally have a definitive list of all color options for the iPhone 17 series, ahead of the devices launching in September.

In a report for Macworld today, Filipe Espósito said he obtained an "internal document" that allegedly reveals all of the color options for the upcoming iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models.

The report includes mockups of the color options, along with Pantone numbers.

Below, we have listed all of the alleged color options, many of which were already leaked by "Majin Bu" and Sonny Dickson.

iPhone 17
Black and White remain as classic color options, complemented by four new options, including a Steel Gray twist on Space Gray:
  • Black
  • White
  • Steel Gray
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Light Blue
iPhone 17 Air
Light Blue will be an even lighter shade of blue on the iPhone 17 Air compared to the iPhone 17, according to the report. For the iPhone 17 Air, the color option will apparently be similar to the MacBook Air's Sky Blue finish:
  • Black
  • White
  • Light Blue
  • Light Gold
iPhone 17 Pro
An all-new Orange color is the highlight, while Dark Blue could be similar to the iPhone 15 Pro's Blue Titanium finish from two years ago:
  • Black
  • White
  • Gray
  • Dark Blue
  • Orange
iPhone 17 Pro Max
The same color options as the iPhone 17 Pro:
  • Black
  • White
  • Gray
  • Dark Blue
  • Orange
As always, the appearance of these colors will vary based on lighting conditions.

All in all, three sources now agree on the above color options for the iPhone 17 series, so it seems pretty likely that this is what we are getting this year.

Less than two months to go.

I'm glad we're back to calling them "colors" rather than "colorways".

Interesting that the Pro will have more color options than the Air. It's certainly being presented as a "third option" rather than simply a variant of the base model (like the Plus or the Mini).
I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed with the term "colorway".
 
A very vocal minority has been demanding more colors for the iPhone Pro models. It kind of reminds me of a grandma complaining that a young man’s pants are too wrinkled because they’re not ironed flat like in the 1950s. Sure, let’s listen to them and bring candy colors to the iPhone Pro lineup. A foldable iPhone, Apple Intelligence that will never be finished, iOS 26, and now this.

If you don't like the colors, don't pick them. Let others want what they want and choose what they choose.

Simple.

Fair enough. But the fact remains that the candy-colored Pro is no longer positioned as premium as it used to be. In a way, it drags the Pro lineup down from the premium tier. I mean in terms of perception.

But maybe that’s Apple’s intention if the Pro line is becoming more utilitarian and the Air line is turning into an upmarket design product.

I don't think having one color that isn't a boring variation on grey means the Pros aren't premium phones.
