Fluorescent Orange iPhone 17 Pro Divides Apple Fans
18 Jul
Summary
- Rumors suggest iPhone 17 Pro will come in 5 new colors, including a bold fluorescent orange
- Apple leaker Sonny Dickson suggests the orange may be a more muted copper or dark gold
- Fans have mixed reactions, with some calling the orange color the "worst" they've seen
As the release of the iPhone 17 approaches in September 2023, Apple fans have been given a glimpse of the phone's potential new design. According to recent rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro may feature a striking fluorescent orange color option, marking a significant departure from Apple's usual muted and metallic color schemes.
The bold new color was first suggested by veteran Apple leaker Sonny Dickson, who shared an image of the lens protection rings supposedly for the upcoming iPhone. However, Dickson also suggested the "orange" could be a more subdued copper or dark gold, which would be more in line with Apple's past Pro model designs.
Nonetheless, a separate leak by Macworld claims the orange tone will be a bright, saturated "TCX Papaya" shade, a significant change from the company's recent aesthetic choices. This potential new color has divided Apple fans, with some enthusiastically embracing the vibrant design and others dismissing it as the "ugliest color they have ever made."
Despite the mixed reactions, Apple has remained tight-lipped about any potential design changes for the iPhone 17. Fans will have to wait until the official unveiling event in September to see if the fluorescent orange, or any other new colors, will be part of the lineup.
