TL;DR
- The popular Cosmic Orange color on the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max is reportedly changing to a rose gold or pink hue for a small percentage of users.
- Several users report that their phones have changed from orange to a rose gold hue, possibly due to solvent use or UV exposure.
- Apple has quietly replaced affected units. Official response is still pending.
The iPhone 17 series is one of Apple’s most successful releases in recent times. Despite the phones being available for over a month now, many models are still routinely out of stock, indicating continued strong demand. Case in point, the new Cosmic Orange color on the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max still has a shipping wait time of one to three weeks, depending on the storage variant. The saturated orange color is catching the fancy of many users, but if you have one or are considering buying, you should be aware of the possibility that it may turn rose gold, potentially by accident.
