The iPhone 17 Pro may get an exciting new color

Possible colors for the iPhone 17 Pro.

Desert Titanium, Blue Titanium, Deep Purple, Sierra Blue, Pacific Blue, and Midnight Green are the unique colors introduced on the iPhone Pro series over the years, alongside various gold, black, and white hues. We might get another in 2025 with the iPhone 17 Pro.

Leaker Majin Bu says Apple is thinking about releasing iPhone 17 Pro models in a few brighter or more saturated colors, such as Dark Green, Teal, and Green.

As someone who would love to see a brighter iPhone 17 Pro released, I’m not quite ready to believe this leak. For one, Bu has a somewhat mixed track record regarding Apple rumors. It’s also important to note that the next batch of iPhone Pro models almost certainly won’t be released for another 11 months. While Apple may be testing colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, it seems a bit early to speculate, as the iPhone 16 series was only released last month.

Finally, would Apple actually release iPhone Pro models in such vibrant colors? It’s possible, but the company hasn’t done so yet. Instead, it has reserved more intense and vivid color options for the regular iPhone lineup, like the pink and aquamarine options for the iPhone 16.

Let’s imagine that Apple is testing out different colors for future iPhones, similar to the ones in Bu’s mock-ups. If these colors are not intended for the standard iPhone 17 and are too unconventional for the iPhone 17 Pro series, Apple might consider them for another upcoming handset.

The iPhone lineup for next year is expected to include the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and a new addition, the iPhone 17 Air/Slim. The iPhone 17 Air/Slim is rumored to be the thinnest iPhone yet and may be significantly different from the other models in the series. Wouldn’t that be the best iPhone to come in at least one hyper-saturated color?

These are still early days, so we can expect many more iPhone 17 leaks to be revealed in the coming months. Stay tuned.

The uncertain future cost of Apple’s Emergency SOS feature

It's been roughly two years since the launch of the iPhone 14 and its Emergency SOS via satellite feature. You might recall that during the first two years, Apple said it would be free to use but that it might require a subscription after that time, according to MacRumors. Last year, Apple extended the time limit by one more year, so you actually have until November 2025, when the trial period ends.

That's good news. The Emergency SOS feature is, quite literally, lifesaving. During April of this year, three university students lost their way in a canyon and used the feature to call for help. Another story arose in July where the feature came through once more in a moment of crisis. And if you keep digging, you'll find numerous other examples of how this tech is truly beneficial.

Google Gemini arrives on iPhone as a native app
the Google extensions feature on iPhone

Google announced Thursday that it has released a new native Gemini app for iOS that will give iPhone users free, direct access to the chatbot without the need for a mobile web browser.

The Gemini mobile app has been available for Android since February, when the platform transitioned from the older Bard branding. However, iOS users could only access the AI on their phones through either the mobile Google app or via a web browser. This new app provides a more streamlined means of chatting with the bot as well as a host of new (to iOS) features.

I tried a new Android phone that puts some of the best smartphone cameras to shame
The rear camera setup on the Oppo Find X8 Pro.

It’s been a few years since I was surprised by a smartphone camera’s zoom performance. With Samsung offering 100x zoom on its Galaxy S Ultra lineup, little has shocked me with smartphone cameras — until now.

The Oppo Find X8 series is the successor to the Find X7 series from last year, and alongside several other improvements, there’s also been a significant upgrade in one area: the 30x zoom. Oppo and OnePlus have great cameras at shorter zoom distances, and at a recent briefing, I discovered that we can now add the 30x zoom to the list.
