There’s now less than three months before the next iPhone is unveiled.
But fans have a sneak peak of two options that could be available when the iPhone 17 hits the shelves in September.
And according to the leaked image, Apple’s iconic product could look more eye-catching than ever.
On X (Twitter), Apple tipster Majin Bu has posted an image showing the back of the iPhone 17 in two trendy pastel shades.
The two fresh colours, green and purple, are currently being considered as Apple puts the final touches to its upcoming product.
Majin Bu said in the tweet: ‘iPhone 17: Purple and Green Colors in Testing as Potential New Shade for 2025.’
The two phones appear to be digital renders, not photographs.
But their vertical lens arrangement corroborate other rumours about what the finished product will look like.

Mr Bu – who has been sharing news about iPhone 17 for months – detailed this latest leak further in a blog post on his website.
‘iPhone 17, set to launch in September 2025, is poised to captivate with its base models potentially featuring two new colors: Purple and Green, currently being tested by Apple,’ he said.
‘While both are under consideration, only one color might make the final cut, with expectations leaning toward Purple being the likely choice for release.
Purple, the tipster continued, is ‘a vibrant and modern hue crafted for those seeking a device with bold personality’.
Green, meanwhile, is ‘anticipated to offer a fresh and natural tone, ideal for a minimalist yet striking aesthetic’.
Fans seemed divided over the new colours in contention, with one calling them ‘good colours’ while another said the green is ‘feral’.
Another XX user posted: ‘They should work on removing the camera bump instead of new colors.’
Someone else asked: ‘No new shade of blue this time????’

Last year’s iPhone 16 was released in five ‘vibrant’ colours – ultramarine (a deep blue), teal, white, black and pink. One or both of the new shades (purple and green) could replace some of these colours
Last year’s iPhone 16 was released in five ‘vibrant’ colours – black, white, pink, teal, and ultramarine, which is a deep blue.
Mr Bu did not reveal whether purple and green will be replacing two of these colours, or adding to the existing selection.
And it’s worth bearing in mind that the more expensive iPhone 17 Pro models will likely come in their own set of colours, one of which could be ‘sky blue’.
Majin Bu, thought to be a pseudonym, has a mixed track record when it comes to predicting developments at Apple.
Last year, Bu posted a fake invite to last year’s iPhone 16 launch event, which was actually mocked up by a 14-year-old video editor from Italy.
MailOnline has contacted Apple regarding the new rumour, although the tech giant is notoriously tight-lipped about any upcoming product.
However, Apple fans shouldn’t have to wait too long before to find out the truth.
Apple’s iPhone 17 unveiling event is expected to be on Monday or Tuesday in the second week of September, broadcast live from Apple HQ in Cupertino, California.
In March, photos of dummy iPhone 17 models were posted to X (Twitter) by veteran Apple leaker and blogger Sonny Dickson. From left to right, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Air and the basic iPhone 17 option
The event’s digital invite – potentially hinting at the iPhone 17’s design – will be sent out to members of the press and industry analysts in the weeks prior.
Apple fans will reportedly have four models to choose from – the standard model, an ultra-thin iPhone 17 ‘Air’, and the more expensive iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
iPhone 17 Air, also referred to as ‘iPhone 17 Slim’, is expected to be a lighter, thinner option – rivalling the Galaxy Edge recently released by Samsung.
The standard iPhone 17 will have two camera lenses in a vertical alignment, one on top of the other.
But the other three options will have a rectangular camera bar across the back – similar to Google’s Pixel phones.
It suggests Apple is needing more space on the back of the phone to pack in camera components for its high-end handsets.
iPhone 17 will also have aluminum frame with a glass back, enhanced cameras, and a powerful A18 chip for advanced AI tasks.
