It has only been a few months since Apple launched the latest iPhone.
But now, a new leak already gives us a glimpse of what the next-generation iPhone 17 Pro might look like.
According to serial Apple leaker Majin Bu, the upcoming flagship device will be available in four stunning colours, including one brand new shade.
Majin Bu says that 'sources close to the supply chain ' can confirm this new colour will be a light blue tone called 'Sky Blue'.
If you want to get an idea of what that would look like, the colour is already available as an option for the MacBook Air.
In the past, Apple only swapped out one shade when moving from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 16 Pro, so the company might follow the same strategy this year.
That would mean we can expect to see the iPhone 17 Pro in Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and Desert Titanium - with Sky Blue taking the place of one colour.
However, on social media, Apple fans are divided over the possible colour, with one complaining: 'Why does every "Pro" colour look like a shade of grey?'.
On X, formerly Twitter, the new possible colour has divided Apple fans, with some complaining that it looks 'grey'
In a post on his website, Apple leaker Majin Bu claims that Sky Blue is currently the leading contender to become a new colour for the iPhone 17 Pro.
Majin writes: 'This shade is among one of the most promising in Apple's labs. And now, the rumors are growing stronger.'
He adds that 'several iPhone 17 Pro prototypes have been made in various colors, with Sky Blue currently the frontrunner.'
While we know they're due in the autumn, it is still too early to be certain which colours the next generation of iPhones will be available in.
However, based on the appearance of the Sky Blue MacBook Air, this colour is certainly subdued enough to fit with Apple's other more muted 'Pro' models.
The last time Apple offered an iPhone Pro in any shade of blue was back in 2021 with the iPhone 13 Pro which came in a shade called Sierra Blue.
But on X, formerly Twitter, many Apple fans were unenthused by the possibility of another blue shade.
One commenter sarcastically said: 'Oh neat, another shade of blue.'
Many Apple fans were not impressed, complaining that Sky Blue was yet another shade of blue
One commenter complained they were 'tired' of Apple making blue-coloured devices
Another Apple fan bluntly called the new design 'trash'

'Bro I'm tired of them making blues,' another user moaned.
While one added that Sky Blue was 'Sierra blue again'.
Meanwhile, some commenters thought that this possible colour option was simply too dull.
One Apple user wrote: 'Apple just hates giving the pros some fun colours. Let's give the people the most muted blue possible.'
Another bluntly wrote: 'Not buying it if it looks like that. Trash.'
However, for fans of Apple's earlier blue options, this rumour was a welcome possibility.
'Sierra blue was the best color on an iPhone until today. So reviving it with a subtle tone could be a massive upgrade from other boring colors,' one fan wrote.
A commenter chimed in: 'This is the only color that could possibly pull me away from the gray color I always get.'
One commenter said that the similarity to Sierra Blue was a big plus for the potential new colour
Another iPhone users said that the potential Sky Blue colour was the only option that would entice them away from a grey colour
But before any fans get too excited, it's worth remembering that this is only a rumour for now.
Majin Bu does have a fairly good track record of getting things right about upcoming Apple products, but has been known to make mistakes.
For instance, this is not the first time that the leaker has claimed to know the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro colour options.
In September, they claimed that the options would either be a Titanium Blue or a Titanium Purple.
In October, they then claimed that Apple's top contenders were Teal Titanium, Green Titanium, and Dark Green Titanium.
Asked by a commenter why Apple had apparently changed its mind on the Teal option, Majin Bu responded: 'Teal green was the ideal candidate, but on the Mac they opted for yuangfeng blue [Sky Blue] and I think they will do the same on the iPhone unless something changes in this period.'
So, while we may well get to see a Sky Blue iPhone 17 Pro, there isn't any way to be certain until Apple reveals the colours later this year.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
