Previously on the Apple Insider podcast, after months of rumors about the iPhone 17, we learnt everything.

Now, it's time for rumors of the iPhone 18 already. Hello, welcome to the Apple Insider podcast.

I'm William Gallagher. Asperances this week,

I open case and clean my Mac from Mac Poor. More about both of those later. And I'm joined by

Wesley Hiliard, who unlike me, is sitting by his front door waiting for parcels to arrive.

Actually, I've got to say, I've lost track. I know you're getting the phone.

Run through the list. What is your local courier company bringing to you as we talk?

Well, as we record, it's Thursday, so I'm actually going to get my nomad leather back.

Yes. So the nomad leather back is arriving today. I'm very excited for my not case. And then tomorrow, I will be getting the iPhone 17 Pro Max in deep blue, one terabyte. I'm getting the Apple Watch Ultra 3 in black. And I'm getting the AirPods Pro 3 in the infinite white color, they will refuse to ever do anything other

then.

Fair enough.

I read something the other day, a reviewer complaining that Apple hadn't sent him the

orange iPhone 7-2-max.

They'd only sent him a blue one and a white one.

My heart bleeds for you.

I am genuinely curious now.

I wasn't last week, but this week I am, to see the orange one in person.

Because everybody has it seems to love it, and I can't conceive of why.

It looks horrible.

Well, if you like orange, it's very eye-catching.

Every video I've seen of it, it's like, it is a, it encapsulates the design language in a way that the other colors don't. The silver's a bit dull. The deep blue hides everything because it's basically black. So the orange really highlights the design of the phone because you can see everything.

Like you can see the contrast and the colors and the antenna lines and everything like that.
