Rumor has it you could soon have a new, colorful option when picking out an iPhone.
A purple or green might be on the table for the aluminum-framed iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus, according to 9to5Mac. It’s a one or the other situation, apparently, with Apple still mulling over which color to include.
The post from 9to5Mac cited leaker Majin Bu, a frequent leaker of Apple news, and Bu noted that “only one color might make the final cut, with expectations leaning toward Purple being the likely choice for release.”

The colors — should the rumors be true — do look sharp and interesting. It’s worth noting, however, that these rumors about new iPhones are frequent and not always reality — so take them with a grain of salt.
We’re likely to get the actual announcement and first look at the iPhone 17 in September. There could be a purple option or, less likely, a green — but as with most things Apple-related, we’ll need to wait for them to tell us to know for sure.
