A new rumor claims Apple is preparing a special new color for its upcoming iPhone 17 Pro that is directly tied to the design language introduced with iOS 26. The information comes from leaker Instant Digital, who shared the rumor in a recent Weibo post.
According to the leaker, the special color will be a white finish that changes appearance depending on the lighting. While Instant Digital notes they haven't seen the color firsthand, it is reportedly linked to Apple's new Liquid Glass aesthetic. The design philosophy is built around a translucent material that refracts and reflects its surroundings, which could explain the rumored lighting-based effect.
This new 'special white' finish adds to a growing list of rumored colors for the 2025 Pro lineup. A leaked document previously pointed to Dark Blue and Orange, while other reports have suggested a possible copper or orange shade based on accessory mockups, as well as a "Sky Blue" finish that could match the M4 MacBook Air. It remains unclear whether the new white finish will be offered alongside these other options or replace one of them.
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to debut a fresh design featuring a wide, horizontal camera bar and a more durable, anti-reflective display. The final finish could also be influenced by reports that Apple may switch from titanium back to an aluminum frame for the upcoming models.
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup in the fall of 2025. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for more iPhone 17 updates.
