If any single company deserves recognition for bringing style back, it's Motorola. The Razr Ultra foldable in MountainTrail is easily the best-looking phone I used this year, but maybe I'm just partial to the Moto X vibes the wooden back evokes.

Apple just announced arguably its boldest Pro iPhone color ever: the new "cosmic orange" for the iPhone 17 Pro. And to my surprise, I think it looks really good. In choosing a bold hue as its hero shade for the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple also seems to have nailed one of the season's hottest colors. Orange showed up a lot on fashion runways earlier this year, and orange-y citrus shades were one of this summer's color trends, according to Vogue.
Earthy tones and muted hues may be having a moment (just look at 2025's colors of the year so far!), but bright colors are always a timeless choice for interiors. Zesty oranges, vibrant teals, sunny yellows, and punchy pinks bring life, energy, and character into any home while suiting many design aesthetics. After years of "beige on beige" and " millennial gray " interiors, bright color palettes are becoming increasingly popular as people look to create spaces that feel personal and packed with personality.
The colors of summer 2025 design blend soft pastels, earthy tones, and vibrant hues, reflecting a yearning for comfort, optimism, and a deeper connection to nature.
