iPhone 17 Camera Control Leak Teases Bold New Colors

We’re only days away from Apple’s big iPhone 17 event, and last-minute leaks are starting to paint a colorful picture. This time, it’s not the full phones we’re seeing but the small Camera Control buttons, and their unexpected range of colors might hint at the boldest iPhone lineup yet.

What The Leak Shows

Long-time Apple leaker Sonny Dickson has shared new images of the Camera Control components said to be for the iPhone 17 series. Instead of the usual black, white, and muted finishes, the leaked parts come in a surprising mix of shades:

• Yellow
• Green
• Blue
• Pink
• Black
• Dark Blue
• Silver
• Orange

The standout here is orange, a shade that closely resembles the Apple Watch Ultra’s Action button. If it makes it to the iPhone 17 Pro, it could be the most vibrant Pro color Apple has ever shipped.

Why Orange Stands Out

Apple has a history of experimenting with brighter colors on its standard iPhones, but the Pro models have almost always played it safe with darker, more professional tones. Orange would flip that tradition. It’s bold, adventurous, and instantly recognizable, exactly the kind of statement color Apple might use to differentiate the Pro lineup in 2025.

Some images also suggest the orange button might be exclusive to the Pro, while the brighter green, yellow, and pink could be standard iPhone 17 options. Still, with multiple sets of parts in circulation, we won’t know for sure until launch.

What Happens Next

Apple will confirm everything at its “Awe dropping” event on September 9 at Apple Park. Alongside the iPhone 17 lineup, we’re also expecting the iPhone 17 Air and the new Apple Watch Series 11. But for now, these leaks give us an exciting glimpse at how Apple might finally be ready to break its own color traditions.

If the leaks are accurate, the iPhone 17 Pro in orange could become one of the most talked-about iPhone designs in years.
