Apple fans are getting a vibrant treat this year as leaked early renders and dummy units reveal the iPhone 17 base model will arrive in bold new purple and green color options. These additions promise to make Apple’s latest flagship lineup more distinctive, continuing the company’s recent trend of offering eye-catching finishes for its most popular devices.
According to high-quality dummy unit photos and industry leaks, the new colors add fresh energy to the iPhone 17’s appearance, building on the success seen with last year’s “Ultramarine” finish for the iPhone 16—regarded by some insiders as one of Apple’s best colorways to date.
The flagship’s palette refresh isn’t the only headline: For the first time, Apple is expected to bring 120 Hz “ProMotion” displays to every iPhone 17 model, not just the high-end “Pro” versions. This means that customers who prefer the standard model and its classic design—and weren’t fans of the new look on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max—will no longer have to compromise on display smoothness.
Apple will also introduce the iPhone 17 Air as the new alternative to the outgoing Plus model. The Air will sport its own interpretation of the redesign, distinct from the look and feel of the more premium Pro handsets.
As anticipation builds ahead of launch, fans are already debating Apple’s latest color palette, with many expressing excitement at these vivid new options for one of the world’s most iconic smartphones.
