iPhone 17 Colors: Rumor Has It This Familiar Hue Could Be Limited to Just One iPhone Model
A user named yeux1122, released two images of camera covers which could be the full lineup for Apple. The most recent colorful rumor gives us a full lineup of what colors we can expect from the iPhone 17 base model and the rumored iPhone 17 Air.
We've heard rumors that the iPhone 17 base model could come in purple, green and sky blue. But two other familiar colors are now rumored to be included in the options -- totaling five possibilities for the base model. The rumored iPhone 17 Air could come in four.
While well-known leaker Majin Bu has shared a few predictions, but recently changed their mind. We'll get to more of that below. The rumored iPhone 17 is rumored to drop in September, so until Apple says more, we're all playing the guessing game, with the help of some leaks and rumors.
Here's what we're hearing about possible iPhone 17 colors and what the rumors say.

I'm Impressed With iOS 26. Apple Just Made iPhones Better
The rumored full color lineup
Here's the rumored full lineup from user, yeux1122. Some of the lineup follows other rumors we heard earlier this summer. More on that below.
The iPhone 17 base model could come in these colors:
Black
Blue
Silver
Purple
Green
The iPhone 17 Air could be released in these colors:
Black
Light blue
Light gold
Silver
Black and silver don't come as a surprise since we've seen both neutral colors in earlier iPhone models and generations. However, the possibility could be welcoming if you use a colored phone cover instead, like me.
Sky blue could be old to Apple, but a new iPhone hue
Here is the MacBook Air M4 in Sky Blue, the same color that the iPhone 17 Pro might come in.
Josh Goldman/CNET
The biggest rumored color for the iPhone 17 is sky blue.
Bu posted the rumor of the new color on their blog, calling it "a refined, bright, and modern shade." But why sky blue?
Perhaps because the latest M4 MacBook Air currently comes in sky blue, so an iPhone with the same color could be an aesthetic win for sky blue MacBook owners.
Bu initially wrote that the sky blue color could be for the iPhone 17 Pro, but recently scrapped that rumor to say sky blue would be for the iPhone 17 Air on Monday.
The possibility of purple
Bu posted on X and their blog recently that Apple is testing purple and green, but that purple could be another new color for the iPhone 17's base models.
Bu posted another rumor on X and their blog recently that Apple is testing purple and green, but that purple could be another new color for the iPhone 17's base models.
Bu said that purple could meet Apple's rumored demand for more personalization while blending into Apple's ecosystem for its other products.
If green is added to the iPhone 17 lineup, Bu says it could be a "fresh and natural tone, ideal for a minimalist yet striking aesthetic."
Could an aluminum iPhone design bring more colors?
Here is the iPhone 16 (left), 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.
James Martin/CNET
The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max have a titanium frame, but analyst Jeff Pu predicted that the iPhone 17 could usher in the return of the aluminum frame for both the Pro and baseline models, as we've seen with earlier versions like the iPhone 14 lineup. Considering the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max's colors are based on titanium, it raises the question: Will an aluminum frame mean new colors?
The one phone in the iPhone 17 lineup that could have a titanium frame is the rumored slimmer iPhone 17 Air, according to Pu. We'll have to wait and see what Apple decides.

A look at past iPhone colors
Here is an iPhone 14 Pro in Deep Purple.
Andrew Lanxon/CNET
Apple likes to release both new and familiar colors for every new iPhone release.
Usually, we see more color variations for the basic models, and more neutral colors for the Pro and Pro Max iPhone models. For instance:
The iPhone 14 came in six colors: midnight, starlight, red, blue, purple and yellow. However, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models only came in black, silver gold and deep purple. The same is true for the 15 model phones, but Apple offered one fewer color for its base model.
iPhone 15 models were available in pink, yellow, green, blue and black, while Pro and Pro Max models arrived in more neutral tones like white, blue, black and natural titanium.
The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max colors didn't change from the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. However, the other iPhone 16 models were available in ultramarine, teal, pink, white and black.
How many new colors we may see from the rumored iPhone 17 is still unclear, but as of now, a sky blue option could be in your future.

The Trade War Is Stealing Your Lunch Money — Here's Why (Explained Like We're 12)
The term 'trade war' seems more pervasive these days — on everything from TV pundits to TikTok experts. Oh, and that one uncle who always has an opinion? He's chiming in with his take, too. Yet for all the 'shots fired in the trade war' headlines you've seen, you might still not know what a trade war really is — or if your wallet could end up as collateral. Read More: Find Out: If you want a simple explanation, you could always turn to ChatGPT. That's exactly what I did on your behalf–only I wanted an easy-to-understand, jargon-free approach. So I asked ChatGPT to explain trade wars and their impact on my wallet, like I was 12 years old. As always, you'll want to fact-check — since ChatGPT is far from perfect — but it gave me a solid baseline of information to guide my own research. A Definition Even a Kid Could Understand When asked what constitutes a trade war, ChatGPT gave me a succinct answer. In essence, a trade war involves countries fighting by charging each other extra money — in this case, tariffs — for the goods they buy and sell to one another. To double-check this response, I hopped on ye olde internet and visited the website for international publication Deutsche Welle, where I found an article about a potential trade war between the U.S. and China. In that article, writer Arthur Sullivan described a trade war simply: 'A trade war is an economic conflict in which countries implement and increase tariffs and other nontariff barriers against each other,' he wrote. 'It typically arises from extreme economic protectionism and usually features so-called tit-for-tat measures, where each side increases tariffs in response to each other.' So far, so good in terms of accuracy. Discover Next: How the Trade War Stole My Lunch Money Sullivan's article broke down the trade beef between the U.S. and China, but I wanted a much simpler example. Treating me like a 12-year-old, ChatGPT brought me back to the schoolyard. It asked me to imagine myself and another student trading lunch items. I gave him $2 to buy his cookie (I'm a sucker for a good peanut butter cookie, it's true), and he gave me $3 for my juice box. Initially, we're both happy. We feel the arrangement is fair. But one day, I realized his cookies were a little stale. I decided he'd have to pay an extra dollar for my juice box. That, ChatGPT explained, is like a tariff — because I asked for extra money just to make the trade. Infuriated, my classmate told me I'd now have to pay an extra $1.50 for his cookie. 'Now you're both just charging each other more for the same stuff,' ChatGPT said. 'That's a trade war.' How It Hits My Wallet ChatGPT explained that the impact of this lunchbox battle will show up in my piggy bank at home. I'm basically paying more for the same cookie — or, if my allowance doesn't cover it, I can't afford the cookie at all. But my money woes don't stop there. According to ChatGPT, my lunch could get smaller because I'm spending more on fewer things, and I'm saving less overall — which might mean no more candy after school. On top of that, my classmate and I are annoyed with each other, and we might stop trading altogether. ChatGPT knows I'm curious about the real-world implications of an actual trade war, and it offers this summary: 'Countries are like you and the other kid. When they get in a trade war, you (and your parents) end up paying more for stuff like food, clothes, phones — even toys.' Bottom Line: Trade Wars Are Far From Child's Play As ChatGPT puts it: 'A trade war is when countries fight over money and trading, and it makes your lunch cost more … even if you didn't start the fight.'

Jim Cramer on Chipotle: 'It's Just Gotten A Lot More Expensive'
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his views on. Cramer discussed the stock in detail during the episode, as he said: 'Everything's changed since COVID, but we just keep acting like it hasn't. We always seem surprised when we hear that higher prices are hurting demand and a company isn't doing that well. That's how I felt about the plummeting price of Chipotle stock. I was checking it out after talking with Brian Niccol, the current CEO of Starbucks, who came over from Chipotle about a year ago. When Brian left, the stock was at 56. The S&P 500 was at 5,648. Now the stock's at 43 and change. Well, the S&P's at 6,362. Well, what's happened here? It's not the in-store experience. Chipotle's the same place it was always. It's just gotten a lot more expensive… Susan Law Cain / Chipotle (NYSE:CMG) operates fast-casual restaurants serving customizable Mexican-inspired meals, including burritos, bowls, tacos, and salads. While we acknowledge the potential of CMG as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Jim Cramer on KeyCorp: 'I Don't Mind Owning the Stock at All'
KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his views on. A caller asked if Cramer thinks that the company will be bought out soon. Here's what he had to say: 'You know what? That's an interesting question, but we had Chris Gorman on, and Chris was also on another show recently. I don't think they're in any, I think they're in expansion mode. I don't think they're in sell mode, and, but I don't mind owning the stock at all, especially with that 4.5% yield.' bluebay/ KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) provides retail and commercial banking services, including lending, investment management, and wealth advisory solutions. Moreover, the company offers capital markets, institutional trust, and investment banking services through its KeyBank brand. When a caller asked for advice on the stock in a February episode, Cramer responded: 'Okay, so Jeff Marks and I were kicking things around. I said, we gotta own more banks… and I said, how about Key for the Charitable Trust because of that dividend? You're onto something. I like your thinking. We had Chris Gorman on. Seems like a terrific guy.' Since the above comment, the company stock is up around 7% at the time of writing. While we acknowledge the potential of KEY as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
