Orange apples are here, Apple iPhones that is. During Apple’s iPhone 17 event on Tuesday, it was revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro will be offered in silver, deep blue and one color that especially caught people’s attention and divided the internet: cosmic orange.
“It looks like a sports car on a phone,” one CNET staffer quipped after the reveal. Others had stronger feelings with CNET writer Macy Meyer labeling it downright ugly.
The iPhone 17 Pro will have a new aluminum unibody and “the best camera system we’ve ever made,” Apple claims. If you don’t believe it, just take a peek at Tuesday’s video announcement. It was filmed entirely with the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple revealed.
The iPhone 17 Pro will also have the biggest iPhone battery and start with 256GB of storage. The pricing starts at $1,099 while the larger iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,199. Other reveals included the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro Max and the iPhone Air, which is a mere 5.6 mm thick.
Apple iPhone 17 colors
The iPhone 17 base colors don’t include a bright (or as Meyer put it, a “gaudy”) orange, but there is a new sage green that might please those who prefer softer colors. The full colors for the iPhone 17 are lavender, mist blue, black, white and sage.
Apple iPhone Air colors
The iPhone Air boasts more traditional colors with sky blue, light gold, cloud white and space black.
Preorders for the entire iPhone 17 lineup — iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air — will begin Friday, Sept. 12 at 8 a.m. ET/5 a.m. PT.
