iPhone 17 Pro can “change color according to light”? New leak excites Apple fans

iPhone 17 Pro new color leaked: Does it really "change color" according to light?

While rumors about the iPhone 17 are spreading strongly, a new piece of information unrelated to configuration or performance has attracted special attention from the technology community: the iPhone 17 Pro may be equipped with a new color in the style of Liquid Glass - white color that changes color under light.

A source from leaker Instant Digital on the Weibo platform said that this color may be similar to the effect of some old Galaxy lines such as the prism white of the Galaxy S10, which caused a stir thanks to its ability to reflect light into extremely delicate shades of pink, purple, and blue.

Are “Pro” colors boring?

For years, Apple has maintained a tradition of “coloring by class”: the iPhone versions often come in bright, diverse colors, while the Pro and Pro Max lines are often limited to dark tones such as black, silver, titanium, or a single “trendy” color.

Even though the iPhone is a high-end device, many users still expressed their wish that Apple should be bolder with colors, instead of associating the Pro with monotonous colors.

Liquid Glass: Will the new design reshape the iOS interface?

At the same time as the new color rumors emerged, Apple also announced the Liquid Glass interface for iOS 26 at WWDC 2025, with a transparent design style and curved icons.

Although the initial beta was criticized by many developers for its lack of separation between components, the new version has been tweaked before its wide release.

It's still unclear how Liquid Glass will affect the physical color of the iPhone, but the possibility of a matte finish that could make colors shift under light is giving fans hope.

Does Apple dare to be like Samsung?

There have been Android phones that have made a strong impression with eye-catching colors like the Galaxy Note 10's Aura Glow, or the vibrant rainbow effect, but Apple usually avoids designs that are too "showy".

However, Apple has also experimented lightly with colors like midnight (blue-black) or starlight (yellow-white) on the iPhone 13. However, the frosted glass on the Pro line always makes the colors significantly softer.

iPhone 17 Pro – Beautiful on the outside, strong on the inside?

There's no denying that with a price tag exceeding $1,000, many iPhone Pro users are not only interested in performance but also want a device that's "all-around beautiful" both inside and out.

If the rumors about the Liquid Glass color come true, this could be a turning point that helps Apple be more "open" with color design on the Pro line - something users have been waiting for a long time.

Although no official images have been leaked yet, the possibility of the iPhone 17 Pro having a new color that changes under the light is creating a wave of expectation. Is this a "small but powerful" detail that makes the iPhone 17 Pro more worth owning? This September may be the answer.
