iPhone 17 colors just leaked — Apple could bring this popular option back
Perhaps the most important iPhone 17 spec of all is the list of available colors, and Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital has just claimed what one of them could be.
Apparently, we should look out for a purple iPhone 17, or more specifically, a lavender one. FFD says in a later comment that black and gray will also be available, which covers at least half of the color options that we might expect for the new iPhone.
Previously, leaker MajinBu said that Apple was choosing between purple and green for the basic iPhone, so it seems Apple's made its final choice.
We'd assume that this specific lavender color won't be offered on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, as Apple normally gives its Pro models unique, matte-textured color options. We've heard a separate rumor about Apple giving this year's Pro models a Sky Blue option like the latest MacBook Air.
It's possible that the iPhone 17 Air will be available in lavender too, as it's thought to be the replacement of the iPhone 16 Plus, which shares the color options as the iPhone 16. But as it's a new flavor of iPhone — slimmer and lighter than other recent models — Apple could give it some unique color options to emphasize the difference.
So, with three alleged colors given in this leak, it has had us wondering what other colors Apple could offer for the iPhone 17. And we've got a few ideas.
Currently, the Ultramarine color option for the iPhone is close to purple, although strictly it's a kind of blue. We'd assume that this would disappear due to the similarity with the alleged lavender option. By the same token, the black and gray options also mentioned in the leak could be the replacement for the black and white options for the iPhone 16.

We'd expect the iPhone 17 to come in two or more brighter color options aside from the alleged lavender option. Given that Apple seems to like rotating through its brighter iPhone color options from year to year, that could mean either of the iPhone 16's teal and pink options (or even both) could disappear, perhaps in favor of yellow or green, colors that were offered for the iPhone 15 but not the iPhone 16.
None of this will likely be confirmed until Apple actually announces the iPhone 17 series. We'd expect that to happen in September, historically Apple's favored iPhone launch month, but until then, our iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max hubs will keep you up to date on the rumors that emerge.

Tech stocks, including Apple, were safety trade during Covid, but this market is different
Tech stocks have acted like a stock market safe haven at various times in recent years when volatility went up, such as during the Covid pandemic. But a recent slide in the tech stock often considered to be the safest of all, Apple, has raised questions about that role for the market's leading sector. As of last week, Apple was a notable underperformer, down -0.6% over the past two months (approximately 40 trading sessions), according to CNBC research. But that doesn't mean tech hasn't bounced back strongly from the early 2025 tariff-triggered selloff. The SPDR Info Tech Sector Fund (XLK) is up 25% over that period, while the Invesco Nasdaq Trust (QQQ) has produced a similar rally. It's Apple that's no longer acting like the stock that in recent years had seemed to function as the equities market's closest thing to a bond. The recent gap is Apple's worst relative performance to its own sector fund since December 2002, according to CNBC research. It's the only of the so-called "Magnificent 7" tech stocks to recently trade below both its 50- and 200-day moving averages. How are investors playing tech in an up-and-down year for the market? Buying the broad stock market on the dips has worked, and is an inherent bet on tech. Investors have a hefty weighting to tech in S&P 500 index funds and ETFs this year, where the top tech stocks represent over 30% of the index. Amid the recent tariff volatility, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) has bested all other funds in new flows from investors, and in fact, it's on pace to break the record for annual net inflows, a mark it just set last year. It's currently sitting at $82 billion in net inflows in 2025, more than four times as much as the next biggest haul for equity ETFs, the Vanguard Total Stock Market Fund (VTI). Both the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM) and the Invesco QQQ Trust make the top 10 among all ETFs, with roughly $9 billion and $8 billion in inflows, respectively. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) has taken in close to $3 billion. VettaFi director of research Todd Rosenbluth said the broadest bets on a resilient U.S. stock market are also the biggest bets on tech. "I think many people are having tech and AI as part of a broader portfolio, as opposed to leaning in solely onto the technology sector," he said on a recent CNBC "ETF Edge." And he added that investors are for the most part using traditional approaches to hedging stock market risk, with strong interest in fixed income ETFs, especially the shortest-term bonds and notes where they can "earn some income, and not take on much risk," he said. Rosenbluth said it is true that during Covid the tech sector had been seen as a relative safe haven for investors. But in 2020, there was also the sudden surge in reliance on technology for those who were working or attending school remotely, leading to a unique tech sector boom. The tech sector went through a significant downturn in 2022, but it has remained a fairly reliable grower, he said, with the emergence of AI and rise of the chip sector led by Nvidia. "Large-cap tech is a relative safe haven, but we're seeing investors want the benefit of diversification with more traditional defensive sectors," Rosenbluth said. That includes utilities and consumer staples, which have both outperformed the S&P 500 this year, though not by nearly as sizable a margin as tech has. For others who follow tech stocks, any market volatility remains a buying opportunity. Wedbush Securities global head of technology research Dan Ives said on "ETF Edge" that times of geopolitical strife are no different. And he said concerns about the valuation of the sector compared to other sectors have cost investors if that kept them out of tech stocks in recent years. "My view of tech, if you focus just on valuation, you missed every transformational tech stock of the last 20 years. And I believe the market is still massively underestimating what the growth is going to look like for the AI revolution" said Ives, whose firm recently launched an AI ETF branded with his name. "That's why any type of geopolitical events, we always view as opportunities to own these names cheaper, that's kind of always been our view the last 25 years we have covered tech." One investor approach of note this year is certain, Rosenbluth said, regardless of how any single investor approaches tech stocks. "In 2025, investors are getting used to a more volatile time period than they were even a month, or three months ago, more accepting of volatility," he said. Disclaimer
