12 Pro / Pro Max Pacific Blue - Do you still love the color or regret the choice?

[PhillyGuy72]

I realize its only been exactly 1 month for Pro users, 10 days for Pro Max'ers.
So this question could be premature.

Just wondering your thoughts so far with the Pac Blue color.
Love it? Meh...bored already.
Regrets??

For me personally this was one of the toughest choices when it came to a darn iPhone color, never had this silly problem in all my years of owning iPhones. This year was especially hard because some photos/videos of PB looked very blue, some looked a dull gray/blue - so I couldn't quite get a feel of it's true color with my own eyes. With this pandemic, there was no easy way of seeing it in person at Apple without an appointment. *I DID get in there, but only saw the blue briefly..which didnt make my decision any easier. Then the other big box stores only had the Gold on display.

Anyway...I did play it safe at the final second before pre ordering and picked Graphite. Now this is a beautiful phone, it matches everything. But FINALLY after seeing the Pro Max in Pacific Blue at Best Buy over the weekend and really...really getting a feel of that look, slight color shifting under those BB bright lights, it just looks darn good with the naked eye. (I took a few photos of it with my current 12PM, the blue looked farmore intense in the viewfinder though - [no color filtering triggered on]) I have no idea how it looks outside in Sunny conditions. I suspect a more intense blue/aqua??

In the end, just trying to get a feel of those who got the PB, what are your thoughts a week 1/2 - 1 month (12 Pro users) in.

I absolutely love the Pacific Blue. No regret at all. The Graphite looks amazing, but something about the Pacific Blue is just right.

I think pacific blue is the best iPhone finish Apple has ever made. I ended up swapping my pro for the mini for a lot of other reasons, but I miss the heck out of that color. That alone almost convinced me to keep it.

 

[StumpyBloke]

Love it

Pacific Blue looks way better in person than on the websites or Youtube videos. I regret not getting it. My roommate has it and I love it.

I've been using all graphite/black since the 3s came out, and when the new PB came, I finally pulled the trigger. PB looks amazing and I really enjoy the new blue metal frame. however, its a fingerprint magnet, and I did end up putting the pm into a thin profile carbon case.

 

[SRLMJ23]

Absolutely LOVE it, and have to agree with @abbeybound that it is the best iPhone finish to date.

I have always wanted a blue iPhone (iPhone 5c does not count in my opinion because it was not a flagship iPhone) because blue is my favorite color and as soon as I saw the Pacific Blue, I knew instantly I was getting that!

Hope everyone enjoys their new iPhones, no matter the color!

Now I’m curious, what color did you pick for your mini? Navy Blue?
Regarding the iPhone 12 mini color, I initially was in love with the Navy Blue, but slowly I’ve developed some kind of attraction towards the white color, because of the aluminum color of the bezels, the frama (same as my iPad Pro). The black color is another solid option but I’m afraid of the frame getting chipped and damaged after the first impact. Also it is a finger magnet.

So I think I’d get the White or the Navy Blue, and I’m not quite sure which one of those.

I like it. But it's also now in an Apple leather case, so I'll never see it again.

100% agreed!

 

[DiCaprioAngel]

Blue is my favorite color so I was beyond thrilled that Apple FINALLY put blue on the flagship phone! Definitely don’t regret it!

 

[Steve121178]

It's just a colour. Yes I am happy with the Pacific Blue, but I put put in a Apple Baltic Blue leather case so I can't really see it anyway. It's really not important.

I have a second iPhone 12 Pro in Graphite and that looks better.

 

[Bazooka-joe]

Graphite is amazing and would have been my first choice but boy, the Pacific Blue is incredible. I don't think i will ever get tired of looking at that colour

 

[Jordan921]

love the Pacific Blue color on my 12PM! I have an apple MagSafe clear case so I can’t still enjoy the color with some protection

 

[coney718]

Love my PB Pro Max. I was debating between that and Graphite but happy I went with the blue.

 

[abbeybound]

@Populus I did go with blue. I really like it against the wine like plum color of the silicone case. Without a case it does look rather like a big lego though..

 

[LeRoy712]

I was dead set on graphite for my 12PM. Saw the 12P in PB and immediately decided to order PB instead of graphite. First non black/space gray/graphite iPhone I’ve had since the 5 and I love it. I find myself taking my case off just to look at it. Matter of fact as time goes on I like it more and more.

 

[chanerz]

I was set on buying the Pacific Blue. Glad I did! I’ve been getting Silver iPhone ever since.

 

[Shark5150]

❤️

 

[scubatopy]

Pacific Blue is stunning! I think I will never get tired of it...

 

[TroyBoy30]

love it

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

I’m happy with it. I prefer the silver but I couldn’t stand to see the scuffs along the frame.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

Well, talk about spur of the moment purchasing...LOL.
So I ordered the Pac Blue Pro Max, same specs just different color. It's been VERY rare for this to be at my nearby Apple Store until now. I'll pick that up today.

With all this insane set up Apple has now, 2, 3 different lines, appointments, at the nearby mall etc. I don't think I can do an exchange of the Graphite at the same time - Maybe...who knows. So I'll just set up an appt. when one is open to return the Graphite.

First NON black, gray iPhone I will own. (but the slight dull blue, hint of gray in certain lighting conditions just makes it look amazing) I also do like that aqua around the camera lens...different! Simply put, the color is just too darn nice not to pass up.

Thanks for the input.

Since 6s Plus all my devices had been black/grey. Decided to make a change and do no regret getting Pacific Blue tiny bit.

 

[DexBell]

I really like my PB Max. However, I wish Apple would make some of the fun colors in the Max. I would have taken a mint green in a heartbeat over the PB.
