The iPhone 17 series, which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air (also referred to as Slim), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, is anticipated to launch in September this year. Numerous leaks have already surfaced, providing insights into the design and hardware features of these forthcoming models. A recent leak suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro will introduce a new color option not seen since 2021, drawing inspiration from the latest MacBook Air M4’s color palette.

According to insider information from Apple’s supply chain, tipster Majin Bu reports that various prototypes of the iPhone 17 Pro have been created in diverse colors, with sky blue emerging as a leading contender. The color is described as a “soft, elegant blue, inspired by the clear sky of a spring morning.”
An illustrative image shared by the tipster sheds light on how the iPhone 17 Pro might look with this new finish. It’s expected to be revealed during the company’s upcoming launch event, unless Apple makes a last-minute decision to change its plans.
Last month, Apple debuted a new Sky Blue color option for its M4 MacBook Air models. In contrast, the previous iPhone 16 Pro was available in Black Titanium, Desert Titanium, Natural Titanium, and White Titanium. At this point, it remains unclear which color the new blue option will replace in the iPhone 17 Pro lineup.
Recent reports suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro will feature a 6.3-inch display, comparable to its predecessor. The device is expected to be powered by a new A19 Pro chip fabricated using TSMC’s advanced 3nm process. Additionally, it is rumored to support a dual video recording feature, which is anticipated to be included with the launch of iOS 19.
The iPhone 17 Pro is also expected to incorporate an aluminum frame and may have 12GB of RAM. It is reported to include a triple rear camera setup featuring a 48-megapixel telephoto lens, in addition to a 12-megapixel front-facing camera.
The successor to the iPhone 16 Pro is projected to introduce a redesigned rear camera module, replacing the conventional square camera housing found in its predecessor.
