Apple is reportedly exploring fresh color choices for the upcoming iPhone 17, which is expected to launch in September 2025. According to a new leak, the company is internally testing two new color variants for the standard iPhone 17 — Purple and Green — but only one is likely to make it to the final release.
The information comes from well-known tipster Majin Bu, who claims that while both shades are being considered, Purple appears to be the frontrunner. This particular shade is said to be vibrant and modern, designed to appeal to users looking for a bold and expressive device. On the other hand, the Green option is reportedly more subtle, offering a fresh, natural tone aimed at those who prefer a minimalist aesthetic.
Both color options are expected to be applied to the aluminum frame of the iPhone 17 base model, enhancing its already sleek and refined design. While Apple has often experimented with different finishes for its iPhones, not all tested colors end up in the final lineup — a trend that may continue this year.

As with previous releases, Apple tends to keep a tight lid on final design decisions until the official unveiling. However, the possibility of a new Purple finish — especially one designed to stand out — could be a notable change for the iPhone 17 lineup, which may also see other design updates and hardware improvements.
More details about the iPhone 17 series are expected to surface in the coming months, leading up to its anticipated September debut. Until then, fans will have to wait and see which color Apple chooses to go with.
