Combined with the Liquid Glass UI aesthetic of iOS 26, a shimmering surface could potentially create a sense of motion or unity with the glassy elements of the software interface. <\/p>\n<p>The account Instant Digital has accurately leaked Apple information before, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2023\/03\/03\/iphone-14-new-color-rumor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Yellow finish for the iPhone 14<\/a> and iPhone 14 Plus, and the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2024\/09\/09\/apple-may-introduce-redesigned-milanese-loop\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Apple Watch Ultra 2&#8217;s Titanium Milanese Loop<\/a>. But its track record isn&#8217;t perfect.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, a Macworld report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/07\/16\/all-new-iphone-17-and-17-pro-colors-leaked\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">claimed<\/a> to reveal all of the colors that each iPhone 17 model will come in. Allegedly based on an &#8220;internal document,&#8221; the report listed white as a color option for all models, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.<\/p>\n<p>Other colors that have now been rumored for the iPhone 17 Pro models by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/07\/14\/iphone-17-pro-all-new-color-rumored\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">multiple<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MajinBuOfficial\/status\/1945498931237970054\" rel=\"nofollow\">sources<\/a> include a new copper-like orange, black, gray, and dark blue. Whether Apple chooses different names for the colors it ultimately goes with remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously, the leaker Majin Bu recently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MajinBuOfficial\/status\/1945498931237970054\" rel=\"nofollow\">shared images<\/a> of third-party lens covers purportedly reflecting Apple&#8217;s iPhone 17 colors. A white color was not shown, but another, identified as &#8220;Transparent,&#8221; appeared in its place. When asked why the transparent accessory is included in the images, Bu has equivocated, but the leaker has since <a href=\"https:\/\/majinbuofficial.com\/iphone-17-pro-new-colors-revealed\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">alluded to another &#8220;surprise&#8221; color<\/a> that Apple is currently still testing, without giving anything else away.<\/p>\n<p>In a change to last year&#8217;s all-titanium iPhone 16 Pro models, Apple is believed to be using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2025\/03\/20\/iphone-17-pro-dummies-highlight-apples-new-design\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">part-glass, part-aluminum<\/a> design for the iPhone 17 Pro chassis. This could potentially usher in all-new color choices for Apple&#8217;s high-end iPhone 17 models. What they look like in reality is something we&#8217;ll learn in just a couple of months. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 series in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new rumor out of China today has sparked speculation that Apple may be readying a unique new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,3168,2315,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-5401","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-instant-digital","10":"tag-iphone-17-pro","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
