> the bold sexy orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro

The color line up reminds me of the au MEDIA SKIN phones (Japanese carrier) circa 2007. Maybe it's because I had one back in the day, but I can't help but think they took some influence.

If you like these, check out the INFOBAR phones from a few years prior. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/cho... People like the multi-colored one, but I've always been partial to the green. I believe there's been a few newer homages to these over the years.
