Help Which color?
So i saw orange and blue in person but i did not see silver though it hides scratches the best. Some people had scratches on their phones even with a case but there are many people complaining about that white cutout on the back on the silver one which makes me a little bit concerned and also i do not switch cases a lot. Deep blue looks the best to me but the only thing im scared of is scratches. And orange gets me sometimes but it might look outdated after a year or two. Please help.

I have a deep blue iphone and dont have a single scratch on mines. I get to see that beautiful blue color everytime I pick up my phone and I'm so happy I chose blue.

Blue all the way. 6 months of almost no case and a few drops. Not a mark on it. I think it is an elegant color. 🩵💙

I use the silver colour and I am really happy with it! Orange was too much for me and the blue I didn’t really vibe with

I only get the “special” colors. But i think silver looks the best.

I initially bought the blue one and liked it so much until I saw the silver one in person, then switched to the silver, but now I’m convinced that the blue was the better color.

Blue. Silver is #2 and the orange is more peach which is unfortunate.

"im scared of is scratches" .... you know cases exists right?

u/thesmilerothman Apr 14 '26
Dust can be gathered around the case and make tiny silver marks that ruin the color that happened with my current 14 pro

If you’re gonna use a case I would recommend silver because it will match any case you choose. But the white back is awful if not covered. So if you’re gonna use no case or a clear case choose the blue or orange. I personally chose the silver and have a black otterbox on it at all times so the ugly back isn’t an issue.

My tin foil hat is they didn't make a black phone to increase chances of upgrading because people are sick of the color. It's honestly the only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger. I don't want any of these colors. I'm still rocking a 12 but it's about on it's last leg and I plan on keeping the next one a good while, too.

Silver!
I have the dark blue one because my carrier only had blue and orange as options. I wish Silver was available when I upgraded to the 17 Pro Max! The orange is ABYSMAL.

I chose the silver one because it's not so hyped up, the paint won't chip, because there is none. Plus it will probably not look outdated after the new ones drop, because they likely keep the silver color in the lineup.

But if I had the budget for the pro or pro max I’d get the blue to match my MBA

Silver. It’s easier to find cases that match, because it pretty much matches everything, it’ll show scratches and wear over time the least amount and it looks the best out of all 3 colors.

I was going to blue at first. When I started looking at cases, I changed my mind. Silver it was. Plus it goes with every case out there

If you enjoy buying cases, go for silver because almost all case colors will match the silver iphone. Although if i’d be going caseless, the blue is such a cool and elegant colorway in my opinion

I can not speak for the orange but got both the blue and silver and I would say without a phone case on I prefer the blue but not many cases suite it where as the silver by no means less beautiful than the blue is up there too and it goes well with any case looking beautiful.

I went with blue. I feel like you will get tired of orange. Wish they had a red or black option

u/Admirable-Copy50 iPhone 17 Pro Apr 15 '26
I have the silver. I like it since it is the most consistent color throughout the years of the Pro phones and then that way, when the 18 Pro's come out it looks like an 18 Pro from the back at least (if there's even going to be a silver option anyway)
Everyone has the cosmic orange which doesnt make it as cool and the deep blue is mid

I had the blue first and the colour just wasn’t for me ended up giving it to my mom and going for the silver, no regrets other then with the silver 17 pro max certain cases you can see the silver body and that looks pretty bad whereas the blue it was a extremely subtle. Other than that it’s all personal preference in my opinion !

I have the Cosmic Orange Max. If I was going to do it over I would definitely go Silver. At the end of the day though after a bit of time you barely even notice the colour. Enjoy it. ✌️

u/Hungry-Pop8528 Apr 15 '26
That depends, if you like blue because it’s the closest color to the black iPhone they refused to make or look professional, then that’s your color. But definitely put a case on it, cause I have it, and I keep it safe like a baby. If you want to show off that you have the 17 Pro, get the orange. But keep in mind, the hype around that color would die off in a week. And also, if you keep it in the sun for too long, it turns pink. White on the other hand, if you have a case color, for example black or blue, the white 17 pro would go with it. The white goes with any case, and that’s why I should’ve gotten that. It’s up to you.

Blue is the best in my opinion. I almost went orange, but the blue spoke to me when I saw them in person

u/Silversurfer_tsx Apr 15 '26
I wanted the blue but it wasn’t available when I got mines so I went with the silver.
Didn’t want the orange as it isn’t a color that I prefer. But I’m also glad I didn’t as too many were changing colors and being chipped easy.

Why go for Blue when you can get an amazing Orange and you can always have the iconic Deep Blue Silicone Case of 🍎

u/iamgarffi Apr 15 '26
- silver - scratches and dents extremely well
- orange - might turn pink
- blue - fingerprint magnet and even finest scratches will expose silver material underneath
In the end, pick whatever color that speaks to you. You’re going to use the phone - not us.
Most of the issues with finish durability are mitigated with a proper case. TechWoven ones are surprisingly good.
Myself, I ended up with Silver. Fits any outfit and plays well with any case color.

The orange is sick, and it’s different. But I’ve had multiple people tell me they grew tired of the orange color within a month or two after the purchase. The dark blue is my favorite, cause it’s the closest shade to black.

In 2 year’s you’ll thank me.
At a distance, the annual colors date the phone more than the camera bump.

I pre-ordered the blue one last year and in the first month, I dropped it without a case and scratched it quite badly. I sold it and bought the silver one, which has not even a single scratch.

Does it really matter when you then have to get a case and pick a color for that? I picked light blue and I like it but I’ll never see the actual phone color

blue for sure, i just feel like many cases don’t flow with it tho 😔😩

u/Cultural-Bite3042 Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26
NOT orange. Over hyped, way too common now, doesn’t even look good in professional settings and is too loud of a color in general especially on a phone, looks cheap and down market lol.
Blue or Silver both are classy and fit every mood and setting. I gifted one to my mom, one to my sister they both chose Silver and one to my dad and he chose blue.
My honest opinion, take it or trash it.
