Apple has already tested the colors of the new iPhone 17 Pro, which is expected in September. According to a rumor, a new light blue should be featured on the front, which is already known as Sky Blue from the MacBook Air with an M4 chip (test) and is said to be “impressive” than Sky Blue from the iPhone 13 Pro.
Sky Blue follows the golden desert sand
According to previous rumors, Apple has been testing three colors for a long time: green, purple, and a brighter blue. Apple has already announced three color options for the iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro. According to Majin Bu, light blue should now be a “leader” in the internal selection and resemble the Sierra Blue of the iPhone 13 Pro. With the new blue tone, the golden “desert sand” of the iPhone 16 Pro should be removed from the color selection, as there is usually only one “colored” iPhone Pro model with each new iPhone generation.

The new sky blue color should also be “more impressive” than the color of the iPhone 13 Pro. In floral terms, BU describes the new color as “elegant” and “soft” and also shows it in a render. It becomes clear that the color shares many similarities with the sky blue of the new MacBook Air. In the editor’s review, the editor noted that the light color can appear silvery in the right light and more like a soft blue. However, it can be expected that the color will always appear slightly different in the end, as the Pro models of the iPhone usually come with titanium and a brushed or glossy surface over a different outer shell that influences the color.

Imagine a soft and elegant blue, inspired by the clear sky of a spring morning. Not just any blue, but a refined, bright, and modern shade. This is Sky Blue, already beloved on the new MacBook Air, where it won over users with its freshness. Bringing it to the iPhone 17 Pro would be a natural choice to apply aesthetic harmony to its flagship devices.

The return of Dark Blue, as seen in the iPhone 12 Pro, or black and blue in the iPhone 15 Pro, seems unlikely this year. Majin Bu has been right in the past with the desert sand color of the iPhone 16 Pro, but has also made unfulfilled predictions, as Macrumors also mentioned.
Color Not Yet Final
This is probably why BU indicates that the color choice is not yet final, and Apple could also change it as late as September. On the other hand, according to rumors, the new camera is the final one, which translates to a much larger camera on the back of the iPhone 17 Pro. BU, like other sources, has also confirmed this several times.
The presentation of the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 “Air,” and the regular iPhone 17 with a 120 Hz display is expected in September at the latest.
