Since the launch of the “iPhone 17” series, Apple has been adopting a bold approach to choosing colors, which has caught the attention of many, especially with the appearance of a stark orange color that differs from the calm and simple colors that users are accustomed to. Despite the strangeness of this choice at first, its presence in the daily lives of some users answers the question about the company’s target audience.
What’s even more interesting is that this trend seems to be continuing. Leaks related to the “iPhone 18 Pro” series indicate that this trend towards colors will continue strongly, and perhaps on a larger scale. However, what is surprising here is talk about the possibility of the black color disappearing from this category.
For many, black is not just an additional color, but rather a stable and classic choice that represents a comfortable and safe space that does not raise questions. Therefore, the possibility of its exclusion leaves a feeling of loss, especially for those who consider it the most elegant and simple color.
Circulating leaks, cited by “Instant Digital” on “Weibo” and supported by Mark Gurman, indicate that Apple is experimenting with “traditional” colors and others such as dark red. Although these options look interesting, the absence of black among them remains the most surprising element.
This feeling increases with talk of redesigning the camera unit in the “iPhone 17 Pro,” as it seems that the black color would have given this shape a calmer and more elegant presence. In light of this path, the absence of black appears to some to be less than a mere design decision, and more like the loss of an option that has been an essential part of the phone’s identity for years.
