- The iPhone 17 Air could be sold in black, silver, light gold, and light blue shades
- It may also have an A19 Pro chipset, rather than the base A19
- However, previous leaks disagree with that chipset claim
If you’ve got your sights set on the iPhone 17 Air, you can also now start thinking about what color you’d like your slimline iPhone to be, as a new leak has revealed the four shades that Apple will apparently sell the device in.
According to leaker Majin Bu – citing a previous leak from Fixed Focus Digital which they claim to have now “confirmed” – the iPhone 17 Air will be available in black, silver, light gold, and light blue shades.
The black shade is apparently a “dark and understated tone”, the silver model is said to be “bright and clear”, the light gold is described as being “warm and soft”, and the light blue as “very light” and “evoking a clear sky”.

You can see how these colors might look in the image Majin Bu provided above, though it sounds like the shades shown are probably guesses based on how their sources described the colors.
In any case, we’d take this information with a pinch of salt – although the use of mostly quite pale, delicate shades seems fitting for phone that’s likely to be billed as slim and elegant.
Some surprising chipset news
In other iPhone 17 Air news, leaker fixed focus digital (via phone area) has claimed that the handset will have an A19 Pro chipset. That’s at odds with previous leaks, which suggested only the iphone17 and Pro Max would have this chipset, while the iphone and iPhone 17 Air would have an A19.
However, they added that the iPhone 17 Air will get a version of the A19 Pro with a five-core GPU while the iPhone 17 Pro models will get a six-core version, in which case the Pro models would still have the most powerful chipset.

While these are early leaks, they point to a fascinating shift in how Apple is positioning its iPhone Air model – not just in design, but also in internal architecture.
If these colors and chipset decisions turn out to be true, the iPhone 17 Air could be the perfect balance of style, power, and price.
Stay tuned, because we’ll be updating you with more confirmed specs and design leaks as the launch approaches!
