The Controversial Choice of Orange for the iPhone 17 Pro

The iPhone 17 Pro is set to release with a bold new color option - orange. A leaked video showcasing a dummy unit of the device has sparked a mixed reaction among Apple users, with many questioning the unconventional choice.

In comparison to the previous Desert Titanium color, the new orange hue has left some underwhelmed. While not universally disliked, it may not be the preferred option for those considering purchasing the latest iPhone. Recent leaks further confirm that this color variant is likely to be the final choice by Apple.

Despite the divisive reception of the iPhone 17 Pro redesign, the unveiling of the Liquid Glass color option has garnered some interest. This unique color, predominantly white, offers varying reflections based on lighting conditions, showcasing Apple's dedication to craftsmanship in iOS 26.

The potential lack of popularity for the orange iPhone 17 Pro is a disappointment for fans who appreciated last year's Ultramarine and Desert Titanium choices. With exciting new color options like purple and green on the horizon, Apple enthusiasts may have more appealing alternatives to consider.
