The upcoming iPhone 17 Air is set to launch in four distinct color options, as revealed by recent leaks. 
These colors include some familiar shades along with an exciting new one that fans are buzzing about.
One of the most anticipated additions to the iPhone 17 Air lineup is a brand-new Light Blue shade. Unlike the blues seen on previous iPhones, this hue is subtle, delicate, and modern. It’s said to be so light that in certain lighting, it might even resemble white. The new Light Blue is compared to the Sky Blue color of the MacBook Air M4, which is another soft and almost silver-like blue. This shade might become the centerpiece of Apple’s marketing efforts for the iPhone 17 Air.
In addition to Light Blue, the iPhone 17 Air will come in three other colors: Black, Silver, and Light Gold. Black is described as dark and understated, while Silver is bright and sleek. Light Gold offers a warm, soft tone that isn’t too bold, giving users a touch of luxury without being over the top. These colors are subtle and muted, catering to those who prefer a more minimalist aesthetic.
While the Light Blue color stands out the most, there’s a hint of disappointment for some, as this new color palette seems to mirror the design choices of other brands. For example, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge also features light, subtle colors like Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Icyblue, which some believe lack vibrancy.
Overall, the iPhone 17 Air’s color selection leans toward sophisticated minimalism, but many are hoping for a more daring approach to color in the flagship market. The iPhone 17’s vanilla version is rumored to bring a bold purple option, which could add some much-needed pop to the lineup.
