While we already know quite a bit about the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max thanks to recent leaks, Apple’s color options have stayed mostly under wraps, well, until now.

According to a new leak from Majin Bu, a familiar name in the Apple leak scene, Sky Blue might be this year’s standout shade.

Sky Blue Could Be the Star of the Show

You read that right. Apple is reportedly testing several color options for the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, and Sky Blue is currently leading the pack. If it makes the final cut, expect to see it steal the spotlight at Apple’s September 2025 event. Bu says the prototype Sky Blue – or YuangFeng Blue as he writes on his website – color looks even better than the fan-favorite Sierra Blue from the iPhone 13 Pro. It is brighter, more polished, and basically impossible to ignore.

What makes this even more interesting? Sky Blue already made its debut earlier this year with the M4 MacBook Air. It’s rare for Apple to use the same new color across different product lines in the same year, so this could be a sign that the color’s popularity is pushing it into iPhone territory.

A Fresh Change from the Usual Shades

If you’re familiar with Apple’s Pro lineup, you know they usually play it safe with shades of gray, silver, and one rotating “special” color each year. Last year it was Desert Titanium. So, if Sky Blue really is coming, it’ll be the fresh twist we didn’t know we needed.

That said, don’t take it as set in stone just yet. While Majin Bu has gotten a lot of Apple stuff right lately, no leaker has a perfect track record. Apple could still switch things up last minute, so treat this as an exciting “maybe” for now.

Sky Blue isn’t just a color choice: it’s a manifesto. It represents an Apple looking to the future with lightness and inspiration. An iPhone 17 Pro that’s not just technology, but also emotion and beauty.

Still, imagining a Sky Blue iPhone 17 Pro is kind of hard to resist. It could be the perfect blend of professional and playful, something Apple fans haven’t had in a while.
