Surprising there’s no matte-black iPhone 17 Pro - dark, low-reflectance finishes are standard in pro video kit because they minimise specular reflections and stray highlights; keeping a shiny silver finish and skipping a subdued matte black feels like a strange choice and undercuts the “Pro” claim.

Yep, their non matte black finishes reflect inside even the prosumer Elegato Teleprompter.

The blue is pretty subdued. I guess we'll see how reflective the finish on the aluminum winds up being...
