Apple's iPhone 17 Pro might come in a surprising shade of orange

Not copper, but orange.

Apple might be shaking things up a little when it comes to iPhone colors this year.

Leaker Sonny Dickson just shared dummy units of Apple's entire upcoming iPhone 17 lineup, and one color stands out in a big way.

Dickson's "color dummies" mostly follow what we've heard so far, with most of the colors being fairly subdued, as is traditional Apple iPhone fashion. But the iPhone 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max are shown in a bold, orange color.

This is in contrast with previous leaks which claimed the iPhone 17 Pro's new color will be copper, or at least a cross between copper and orange. Frankly, it's also in contrast with every iPhone Pro color so far, so take this leak with a grain of salt.

It's fun to dream, however, of Apple finally choosing a slightly more colorful shade of...any color, really, for one of its iPhone Pro models.

The other colors on offer for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are black, white, and blue.

The iPhone 17 Air is shown in black, white, beige (gold?), and light blue, while the iPhone 17 can be seen in black, iPhone, light blue, and pink.

If I had to guess, I'd say these colors are a good way off from what Apple is really going to show in September; regardless of the color choices, Apple's actual devices always look a bit sparklier and nicer than these dummy units we keep seeing ahead of launches.

Apple will likely launch the iPhone 17 lineup in September; until then, nothing is official.
