The recent Apple event has caused quite a stir in the tech community. The highlight of the event was the introduction of the new iPhone Air and the revamped iPhone 17 Pro. As a tech journalist for over 7 years, I have always believed that a touch of green is the key to a standout colorway in a sea of black and white options.
The tech world is abuzz with the latest Apple event that took place last night. The event showcased a range of new products, with the spotlight on the all-new iPhone Air and the highly upgraded iPhone 17 Pro. As a seasoned tech journalist, I have come to appreciate the importance of unique colorways, with green being a personal favorite.
While black and white color options have become commonplace in the industry, the addition of vibrant colors like the Cosmic Orange of the iPhone 17 Pro adds a refreshing touch to the lineup. The introduction of color variations can make a device more visually appealing and stand out from the crowd.

Despite the array of color choices available, nothing quite compares to the elegance of a hint of mint or a deep forest green, as exemplified by the green iPhone 13. As a long-time iPhone enthusiast, I must admit that the green variant of Apple’s 2021 model truly stands out as a thing of beauty. It’s no surprise that Apple reintroduced the green option after its absence with the iPhone 14.
The Sage colorway of the iPhone 17 also catches the eye, showcasing a unique and visually striking design compared to other options in the lineup.
On the other hand, the iPhone Air, while technically impressive with its ultra-thin design at 5.6mm, falls short in the color department. The Space Black option stands out, but the Sky Blue, Light Gold, and Cloud White variants lack the vibrancy that a pop of color can bring. The lack of exciting color choices may leave users reaching for a case to add some personality to their device.
You can’t tell me that the iPhone Air colors spark any kind of joy
It’s clear that more companies should embrace bold color choices in their tech products. The Forest Green Huawei Watch GT 4, released in 2023, remains a standout in the smartwatch market with its captivating design. In a competitive industry where specifications often blur together, aesthetics play a significant role in setting a product apart.

As I continue to advocate for more vibrant color options in tech, I hope to see a shift towards embracing the full spectrum of colors in future device releases. Devices become more engaging and enjoyable when they offer a diverse range of color choices that go beyond the standard black and white options.
