Apple iPhone 17 Air colour leaked ahead of its launch in India

iPhone 17 Air colour leaked: iPhone 17 Air light blue colour leak is already making waves ahead of Apple’s anticipated September 2025 launch. Described as the “lightest Apple Blue” yet, this ultra-pale shade could appear almost white under indoor lighting, offering a fresh, minimalist finish . 

With the rumoured iPhone 17 Air set to replace the Plus model, combine this sleek aesthetic with a whisper‑thin design and 120 Hz OLED display, Apple may target style-conscious users who value bold simplicity. 

As whispers around Liquid Glass design, lighter chassis, and enhanced AI features swirl, early buzz suggests Apple doubles down on elegance and innovation. Stick around to explore how this tonal shift could redefine iPhone chic.

iPhone 17 Air launch date (Expected)

Apple usually follows a consistent launch schedule, and the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be revealed between September 11-13, 2025. Pre-orders could begin immediately after the official unveiling, and if Apple sticks to its traditional timeline, the iPhone 17 series may go on sale around September 19, 2025.

iPhone 17 Air expected colourways

Fixed Focus Digital, a trustworthy Weibo tipster, claims that the next iPhone 17 Air will have a new shade of blue that is significantly paler than it looks in its present design. Furthermore, it can appear completely white in normal circumstances, much to Samsung's Silverblue shade for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. 

According to earlier sources, the base iPhone 17 may not feature this colour scheme; instead, it may be released with a new hue that isn't simply a different shade of black or white, but rather the standard purple. There may be a lighter variation of this colour tone, like the iPhone 16 Pro series' Desert Titanium.

Camera
