A New Shade of Blue for the iPhone 17 Air?

The upcoming iPhone 17 Air might be getting a fresh look with a new blue color option. This isn't just any blue, though. It's said to be a light, almost white-like shade that could be easily mistaken for white in dim lighting.

A Unique Shade of Blue

This rumor comes from a leaker on Weibo, known as "Fixed Focus Digital," who claims this blue will be the main color option for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air.

This new blue is described as different from any blue Apple has used before. It's not a deep, rich blue, but rather a soft, light one. This reminds some people of the "Sierra Blue" color from the iPhone 13 Pro. That color was a lighter shade of blue, almost metallic and icy, which could appear as light grey in certain lighting conditions.

Apple's Trend of Lighter Colors

Apple has been experimenting with lighter, pastel colors for their iPhones. The iPhone 15 models had some of these lighter shades. So, it's not too surprising that they might continue this trend with the iPhone 17 Air.

Leaker's Track Record

Now, this leaker, "Fixed Focus Digital," has had some accurate predictions in the past, like the iPhone SE's name and the iPhone 16 Pro's Gold Titanium color. But they've also had some misses. So, it's important to take this rumor with a grain of salt.

Expected Launch

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch in the fall, along with the rest of the new iPhone lineup. So, we'll have to wait and see if this new blue color becomes a reality.
