Apple is getting ready for its big “Awe Dropping” event on September 9, 2025, where the company is expected to launch the new iPhone 17 series along with other products. Ahead of the event, fresh leaks have revealed the colours that might be available for the upcoming iPhones.
Apple is expected to introduce four new iPhones this year: the standard iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a slim version known as the iPhone 17 Air.
According to leaks from a tipster on Chinese social media, the standard iPhone 17 model may be launched in six different colours. The options are black, white, pewter grey, green, pink, and light blue. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected in five shades black, white, grey, dark blue, and orange.
Apple has not confirmed the colours for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but reports suggest it could be offered in the same options as the Pro model. The iPhone 17 Air, expected to replace the Plus model, may be offered in four colours: black, white, light gold, and light blue.
A leaked video has shown a dummy iPhone 17 Air in light blue, with a design and colour that closely resemble the latest MacBook Air with the M4 chip. This suggests Apple may be moving slightly away from the muted colour choices it used recently, and could be offering brighter and more playful options this year.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air is likely to become the most slim and lightweight iPhone yet. This new model seems to target users who prefer thin and light smartphones, while still offering high-end features. The Air branding also makes it sound like a natural addition to Apple’s product lineup, which already has MacBook Air and iPad Air models.
Apple’s September 9 event will not only highlight the iPhone 17 series but could also bring new smartwatches. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series, the Apple Watch Series 11, and a new version of the Watch Ultra. There are also reports that Apple has been working on new AI projects, but some internal differences in the company may be delaying its big AI announcements.
The new iPhones are also rumored to come with some fresh features. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to feature reverse wireless charging, one of the most notable upgrades this year. This would allow users to charge other devices, such as AirPods, directly from the back of their iPhones.
Apple’s move to add brighter colours and launch a lighter Air model is expected to generate more excitement in the smartphone market. The launch comes at a time when rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, Google Pixel 10 lineup, and the upcoming Vivo X300 Pro are trying to capture customer attention with their own new smartphones.
Early tests have shown Google’s new Tensor G5 chip in the Pixel 10 Pro XL to be weaker in performance, which could give Apple an edge with its new lineup.
The September 9 event is expected to be one of Apple’s biggest of the year. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup, the Apple Watch Series 11, and an updated version of the Watch Ultra. All eyes are now on Apple to see which of the leaks are true and what surprises the company has kept for the launch.
