Apple is anticipated to launch the iPhone 17 series in September, which could be available in new colour options, alongside advanced features.
Recent reports indicate that the base iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air models are expected to come with 120Hz displays.
iPhone 17 likely to come with new colour options
A well-known tipster Majin Bu said that Apple is testing the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air in green and purple options.
The tipster shared mock-ups of the anticipated handsets in the rumoured colour options. The rear panel design appears similar to the current iPhone 16 and 16 Plus.
The tipster added that even though the Cupertino-based tech giant is sampling green and purple colour options for the iPhone 17 and 17 Air, only one of the two shades is expected to be unveiled.
The purple colourway could be the new publicly available option. Recently, the tipster had also claimed that the iPhone 17 Pro could launch in a Sky Blue colour variant.
The vanilla iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are likely to feature 120Hz refresh rate panels, but without the ProMotion technology that is expected to be retained in the higher-end Pro variants.
The iPhone 17 handset may be powered by the same A18 chipset as the iPhone 16. However, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to use an A19 chip.
