“Graphite” to me looked exactly the same as the 11 Pro “Space Grey” (or virtually the same). Always found it a little dull ? Went with PB.
Got a tip for us?

I felt the same about graphite too. In low light, it is stunning. In bright lighting and angles, it was meh.
Agreed, they both change in bright light conditions but the teal look in that scenario I was meh, too. The graphite, I felt, had the edge. The bezels around the screen are unrivalled on the PB, it blends with the screen, I loved that.
I'm going gangster and getting a gold one
Absolutely love it. I hope it’s still available next year on the 13. I don’t think it can be topped. The 11s midnight green was really nice too, but I always wanted a blue iPhone and all we’ve had so far was the 5c.
I'm all about fashion. Blue IS the new black. Why aren't people are onboard already? 
Well, to each his/her own. My silver iPhone is still in the box. Waiting to make sure I made the right choice. Another trip to the store yesterday, but couldn’t convince myself on graphite or blue. Looks like silver it is for me. My only wish is, they had muted the silver band a bit more. The back looks gorgeous no matter which angle you look at it.
This is from a guy whose cars were all blue till the current one, and wardrobe is 70% blue....

There are two things that put me off of the silver: scratches easily and the silver rim around the font of the black screen looks odd/off. Other then that, agreed, it’s stunning - that pure white back glass is very Apple like and beautiful.

I agree with you. That is why my box is not opened yet! The blue is dull, the graphite is ... graphite, the silver/white is just too flashy. But, I can’t seem to move away from it as I had wanted a white Apple product for a very long time. If I have to go the graphite way, it is purely to match my watch, iPad and my Mac.
Pacific Blue is the subtle change I was looking for after only owning black and graphite iPhones
Also very happy with the blue leather bellroy case.

I got the Pacific Blue, my wife got the Silver, and I got my son Graphite.
I love the Pacific Blue, but also liked the Graphite and could have gone either way if one was out of stock.

No regrets whatsoever; my initial choice was silver but that changed when I saw it first hand and detested it. Love my 12PM PB
Personally I think Pacific Blue is the best finish they’ve ever put on an iPhone. I had a 12 Pro and loved staring at it in different lighting, it’s just so classy. I swapped my 12 Pro out for a Mini and while I love the size, I really wish I could get it in PB. I have the green Mini which I enjoy, but it doesn’t hold a candle to PB.
I love our blue iPhone 12 pro max but damn the gold urge hit me and had to have it!! It'll be here by January 6th or 7th!!
I love it.

Silver was my first choice followed by gold. As soon as I saw the Pacific Blue at the keynote, my decision was already made.
I still have two 12 pro 512gb PB brand new from the Amazon price glitch - got them for £850 each. Thinking to stick to my X for another year. Where would be the safest place to sell these? Scared to list on eBay and get scammed.
