iPhone 17 Pro Max leak: Papaya orange color sparks huge debate among Apple fans
:
Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max isn't even official yet, but one rumored detail has already turned the internet upside down. A new leak suggests Apple may be introducing a striking papaya-orange colour and reactions are as intense as the color itself.
A new leak says that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come in a bright "papaya orange" color, which has Apple fans arguing. Some people like the big change, but others think it's a design flaw. There will be four models in the iPhone 17 series, and the camera layout will be different. It is expected to come out in September, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.

What's behind the papaya orange leak?
An image that was leaked by reliable tipster Sonny Dickson is the source of the color that is lighting up tech blogs and comment sections. The picture, which is said to show lens protectors for the iPhone 17 lineup, showed a bright orange color called "papaya."
Live Events
AppleInsider then released concept renders that showed the iPhone 17 Pro Max will come in five colors, including the bright orange and more common colors like graphite gray, silver, deep blue, and black.
But not everyone agrees on what the color really is. Some people say that it might be more like copper or bronze than bright neon orange, which makes the initial leak seem less dramatic.

What is it about this color that is causing such a fuss?
Apple has always had a clean, simple look, especially on its Pro models. That's why the rumored orange has gotten a lot of attention, from people who are excited to people who don't want it at all, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
One person on social media said it was "the worst phone color I've ever seen," while others defended it, calling it "fire" and "a breath of fresh air." A well-known Apple leaker named Majin Bu even posted a glowing mockup with the words "This looks incredible."

Macworld also found an internal Apple reference to the Pantone color "TCX Papaya," which is a very bright orange color. If this is true, it would be one of the biggest changes to the look of Apple's high-end phones in years, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
What else is known about the iPhone 17s?
The iPhone 17 series is going to be a big design update, even with the color issue. There are four models expected: the regular iPhone 17, the super-thin iPhone 17 Air (also called the iPhone 17 Slim), and the high-end iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Air will be Apple's thinnest and lightest phone yet. This is probably because of Samsung's Galaxy Edge series. The standard iPhone 17 will have two vertical cameras, but the other three models will have a horizontal rectangular camera layout like the ones on Google's Pixel phones.
All four models are expected to have aluminum frames, glass backs, better camera systems, and the next-generation A19 chip, which is made for more advanced AI tasks.
Will the papaya orange make the cut?
Apple has not said anything about the leaks, as is usual. Fans will have to wait until the company's keynote in September to find out which colors will actually be available. If papaya orange (or something like it) makes the final cut, it could mean that Apple's Pro line will be bolder and more expressive in the future, as per a report by Vietnamnet global.
Some people think that's smart, while others think it's a mistake. But one thing is for sure: Apple's next announcement is going to be a lot more interesting.
FAQs
Is the orange iPhone 17 Pro Max real?
It's a leak that hasn't been confirmed, but trusted insiders say the "papaya" color could be coming.
When will the iPhone 17 be released?
Apple is expected to unveil its iPhone 17 lineup in early September.

Firefly Aerospace Inc. (FLY) share price in Nasdaq: Stocks crash after stunning $868.3 million IPO
Firefly Aerospace Inc . (FLY) stocks in NASDAQ fell nine per cent in premarket trading on Friday. Firefly's shares opened for trading on the Nasdaq at $70 apiece, compared with the initial public offering price of $45. It closed the debut session roughly 34 per cent higher. This comes in what was perceived as a normal market swing, but the space tech firm's robust debut highlighted renewed investor appetite for high-growth listings. After nearly three years of a dryspell in new listings, a resurgence in high-risk sectors such as space, crypto and fintech — fueled by blockbuster entries such as Firefly and Circle — is expected to prompt startups that held back during market turbulence to launch public offerings.

"Large pops and drops show an elevated level of short-term money trading around IPOs, be it hedge funds or retail. This has been a feature of the market in recent months," said Samuel Kerr, head of equity capital markets at Mergermarket. "The fact the stock is still well above the IPO price, despite a drop in premarket trading today and that should hopefully point to a solid cohort of institutional investors serving as a bed-rock for the stock in its early days of trading," Kerr said. Live Events Firefly IPO Firefly had priced its IPO above the marketed range and raised $868.3 million in the year's biggest U.S. space listing, marking a striking comeback for a company that filed for bankruptcy in 2017. Private space firms have drawn fresh investor interest as they play a growing role in U.S. military and civil programs, aided by NASA's push to contract out lunar missions and the Pentagon's demand for responsive launch capabilities. The sector has also benefited from government spending and commercial satellite demand. Still, it faces potential challenges from high development costs and long production timelines. FAQs Q1.

Sam Altman says ChatGPT 5 is an expert. A small maths slip shows why it's still not perfect
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman describes ChatGPT 5 as 'like talking to an expert in any topic.' The company calls it its most advanced AI yet, capable of reasoning across subjects with PhD-level proficiency. Yet, on launch day, the model made a basic decimal subtraction error that underscored a reality of AI development: no matter how sophisticated, the technology can still make small but visible mistakes. The equation was simple: 5.9 = x + 5.11 The correct solution is: x=0.79 GPT-5 initially answered: x=−0.21 before correcting itself when prompted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The World's Most Stunning Blue Flag Beaches Ranked: Top 25 List! Click Here Undo Why did GPT-5 make the error? This wasn't a limitation of its ability to handle decimals — the maths itself is well within its capabilities — but a case of what AI engineers call reasoning slips . Models like GPT-5 don't 'see' numbers in the way humans do. Instead of performing calculations in a dedicated numerical processor by default, they generate answers based on patterns in training data, unless specifically prompted to calculate step-by-step. In this instance, the model appears to have briefly reversed the subtraction order mentally, before correcting when asked again. This kind of mistake can happen when an AI tries to solve a problem 'in its head' without breaking it down explicitly, much like a human making an off-by-sign error during mental maths. It's a reminder that while GPT-5 is much stronger at reasoning than previous models, accuracy improves when users give it clear instructions to show its working. A major leap in capability Launched on Thursday night, GPT-5 replaces all previous OpenAI models, including the GPT-4 series and the o-series, combining general question answering, complex reasoning, and tool usage into a single system. It automatically decides when to switch to its deeper 'thinking mode' for more complex problems. Altman compared the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 to Apple's move from standard pixels to the Retina Display, saying: 'It's the first time it really feels like you're talking to an expert in any topic.' OpenAI says GPT-5 is its best coding model yet, capable of building complete websites, apps, and games in a single prompt, and significantly better at following instructions without straying from the request. Improved accuracy — but not infallibility According to OpenAI, GPT-5 is 45% less likely to produce factual errors than GPT-4o in standard mode, and 80% less likely in 'thinking mode.' It also has reduced hallucinations — where AI generates plausible-sounding but incorrect information. However, as the decimal slip showed, the model can still make small, low-level errors if it doesn't explicitly calculate step-by-step. This is partly because GPT-5 is designed to prioritise conversational fluency and context over raw number crunching unless told otherwise. Availability and pricing GPT-5 is available in three versions: Mini – A lightweight variant used when usage limits are reached. Regular – The default model for most signed-in users. Pro – A $200/month subscription with the fastest, most powerful version. All signed-in ChatGPT users now default to GPT-5, with automatic switching to 'thinking mode' when the system detects a harder problem. The decimal takeaway GPT-5's decimal error isn't evidence that it lacks mathematical skill — in fact, it can handle advanced calculus, algebra, and statistical analysis with high accuracy. Rather, it's a reminder that AI reasoning still depends on how problems are framed and processed. For everyday use, GPT-5 is a leap forward: more accurate, more capable, and far better at following instructions. But like any expert — human or artificial — it benefits from being asked to show its working. That's often the difference between an answer that's fast and one that's right.
