A new leak says that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come in a bright “papaya orange” color, which has Apple fans arguing. Some people like the big change, but others think it’s a design flaw. There will be four models in the iPhone 17 series, and the camera layout will be different. It is expected to come out in September, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
What’s behind the papaya orange leak?
An image that was leaked by reliable tipster Sonny Dickson is the source of the color that is lighting up tech blogs and comment sections. The picture, which is said to show lens protectors for the iPhone 17 lineup, showed a bright orange color called “papaya.”
AppleInsider then released concept renders that showed the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come in five colors, including the bright orange and more common colors like graphite gray, silver, deep blue, and black.
But not everyone agrees on what the color really is. Some people say that it might be more like copper or bronze than bright neon orange, which makes the initial leak seem less dramatic.

What is it about this color that is causing such a fuss?
Apple has always had a clean, simple look, especially on its Pro models. That’s why the rumored orange has gotten a lot of attention, from people who are excited to people who don’t want it at all, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
One person on social media said it was “the worst phone color I’ve ever seen,” while others defended it, calling it “fire” and “a breath of fresh air.” A well-known Apple leaker named Majin Bu even posted a glowing mockup with the words “This looks incredible.”

Macworld also found an internal Apple reference to the Pantone color “TCX Papaya,” which is a very bright orange color. If this is true, it would be one of the biggest changes to the look of Apple’s high-end phones in years, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
What else is known about the iPhone 17s?
The iPhone 17 series is going to be a big design update, even with the color issue. There are four models expected: the regular iPhone 17, the super-thin iPhone 17 Air (also called the iPhone 17 Slim), and the high-end iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Air will be Apple’s thinnest and lightest phone yet. This is probably because of Samsung’s Galaxy Edge series. The standard iPhone 17 will have two vertical cameras, but the other three models will have a horizontal rectangular camera layout like the ones on Google’s Pixel phones.
All four models are expected to have aluminum frames, glass backs, better camera systems, and the next-generation A19 chip, which is made for more advanced AI tasks.
Will the papaya orange make the cut?
Apple has not said anything about the leaks, as is usual. Fans will have to wait until the company’s keynote in September to find out which colors will actually be available. If papaya orange (or something like it) makes the final cut, it could mean that Apple’s Pro line will be bolder and more expressive in the future, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
Some people think that’s smart, while others think it’s a mistake. But one thing is for sure: Apple’s next announcement is going to be a lot more interesting.
