Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is shaping up to be one of the company’s boldest redesigns in years – and the new TechWoven cases are already sparking debate. 
Thanks to early dummy units, we now have a clear look at how the fiery new orange iPhone 17 Pro pairs with Apple’s upgraded case lineup.
The orange shade feels like a more vibrant spin on Desert Titanium, a striking departure from Apple’s usually conservative palette. Fans are split: some love the fresh energy, while others argue it drifts too far from the classic iPhone identity. Either way, it’s certain to stand out in a crowd.
Alongside the phone, Apple is introducing its TechWoven case, a follow-up to last year’s heavily criticized FineWoven line. FineWoven quickly earned a reputation for fraying and breaking down, but TechWoven promises to be tougher and longer-lasting. Real-world images suggest the cases come in Black, Blue, Green, Purple, and Sienna, with the orange iPhone shown inside the Sienna option. Compared with standard silicone cases, these appear more premium and textured, though durability concerns remain.
Tech enthusiasts point out that woven materials tend to age faster than silicone, meaning scratches and wear will likely show up over time. Even so, the aesthetic leap forward is obvious. The black version seems like the safest choice, but for anyone opting for the rumored Liquid Glass iPhone 17, a case at all might feel unnecessary.
Apple’s decision signals its push to balance fresh design with function, even if it risks alienating fans who prize the iconic look. One thing is clear: the iPhone 17 Pro with its new TechWoven case lineup is guaranteed to get people talking.
