IPhone 17 Expected in New Purple, Green Colors for September Launch

As the September 2025 launch of the iPhone 17 approaches, leaks and insider reports reveal that Apple is testing two new color options for the base model: purple and green, with purple being the more likely choice for release. The design is expected to closely resemble the iPhone 16, but the iPhone 17 may finally introduce a 120Hz display for the standard model, enhancing the viewing experience without necessarily using ProMotion technology. Alongside these changes, the series is expected to feature camera improvements, potential introduction of an action and dedicated camera button, a larger battery, faster charging, and new chipsets including the A19 Bionic for Pro models and A18 Bionic for standard ones. The lineup could include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, with rumors also suggesting the iPhone 17 Air might be portless, relying on wireless charging and eSIM. Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the new colors, with some preferring improvements in hardware design over new color options. Overall, Apple appears to be balancing fresh aesthetic updates with performance enhancements for the upcoming iPhone 17 series.
