With the iPhone 17 lineup expected to drop later this year, leaks are gaining traction, and now we may finally have a clue about its color options. While much of the buzz has focused on design tweaks, a new rumor points to a refreshing twist: a sleek sky blue finish for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
A familiar blue, reimagined
According to popular leaker Majin Bu, Apple may introduce a new Sky Blue color that’s said to be more elegant than the iconic Sierra Blue from the iPhone 13 Pro era. What makes this even more exciting? This exact shade recently debuted on the MacBook Air M4, possibly hinting at Apple’s growing effort to align its hardware aesthetic across devices.
“In prototypes, it reportedly looks even more stunning than Sierra Blue, with a brightness and refinement that make it irresistible,” writes Majin Bu on his website.
Apple has a tradition of rolling out a unique standout color each year for its Pro iPhones. Last year, it was Desert Titanium. If rumors hold up this year, Sky Blue could be the showstopper.
Why Sky Blue might be Apple’s next big hit
Although Majin Bu’s accuracy has been hit-or-miss lately, his claim aligns with Apple’s recent color strategy. If the Sky Blue variant mirrors the MacBook’s tone, it could become a fan favorite, especially among users who crave a fresh yet sophisticated iPhone look.
Still, it’s worth noting that these details are based on early prototypes, and Apple may tweak or drop them before the official release.
A Sky Blue iPhone 17 Pro sounds like a smart and stylish evolution of Apple’s design language. Would you pick one over classic finishes like Black or Titanium? Let us know in the comments.
