I just have a hard time imagining what it is like to live in a world where you are that concerned about what people think of your phone.

Well, it's an international forum. In some parts of the world it's a status symbol and may even determine your virginity so pick wisely.

Everyone knows that space green is this year’s hot iPhone ticket. If you flash the space green model, these are the top 10 privileges you will enjoy...

1. Ladies will approach you in a comely manner at the Home Depot garden center.
2. Bouncers will let you in da club.
3. Extra fries at McDonald’s.
4. No late fees at the library.
5. More MySpace followers.
6. Street cred throughout Wyoming.
7. 5% off at participating SuperCuts.
8. Fresher breath.
9. Trousers will fit you better.
10. A feeling of superiority that only a mass produced electronic device made in China can bring you and millions of others.
 
Finally got in store to see it. Really wanted to love the green but I wasn’t sure after I actually saw it. The green chrome around the outside doesn’t quite work with the dull green glass. Camo green is the right description. It is like the green used on Land Rover Defenders.
 
If this is not a troll pos, and who knows these days, just send it back get a refund and order the colour yoiu want. Its not that much of a hardship, I take it you still have your previous iPhone? Happiness is not a Silver, Space grey, Midnight green, or Gold, its a state of mind. I don't care what my friends think of what I own because I buy it for myself, not to inflate my ego in public.
 
During preorder, I had hard time deciding whether I should get my all-time favorite White or the new color option. My decision to get the Green was mostly swayed by the power of the hype machine, and the obvious fact that it’s a new color. But after seeing the pics, I regret not trusting my gut. In pics, Green looks so dull and unrecognizable. It almost appears as dirty faded black. Zero personality. On White, the three cameras would’ve stood out much more prominently. I’m at a loss and honestly, ready to cry... 😭

Green will always be . . . green

Stop crying!

I preordered both green and silver/white to collect in store today as originally wanted green then I couldn't make up mind once I started seeing the review pics and videos. Similar to you thought the silver/white looked much better in the photos and videos.

However I returned the silver and plumped for the Midnight Green. Its lovely, elegant, classy, etc. The white back on silver looked duller than I expected and not much different to my silver X I am upgrading from except it is a nice matt glass. I'd maybe go Silver if I were not putting a case on - not even a clear case. Also in a case I think the white looks not so good with darker cases.

Common... cancel it and let life go on. You’re acting like a five year old who lost his 50 cents and can’t buy a lollipop.

Yes, I like to show off my gadgets. Yes, it makes me feel cool when people enviously drool over my latest iPhone. That’s why I try to have the best model, the right color from the very beginning while novelty is still fresh. How does this make me a troll?? Explain, because I don’t understand...

Any coolness you earn from having the “right” color phone is completely obliterated by your posts.

I have no regrets about getting the Midnight Green, but wow for some reason the Space Gray really looks something nice on the 11 Pros. Better than on the X/XS.
 
IMO midnight green is the worst iPhone colour ever made by Apple. Saw it this morning in store, didn't like it one bit. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Love my Pro silver 😍

No one has noticed my iPhone since iPhone 1 to iPhone 3. After that no one cares.
Yeah I had a day 1 original iPhone and I got asked about it a ton in public. I don’t think it has happened with any iPhone since for me.

i don’t get the want people to see I have the latest. It’s more like want to advertise to a potential thief, rob me first!
 
I actually love the Midnight Green. If you don't like the color, return it and get the one you love.
 
I had a look at the green today and can’t say I thought it was any better in person and my original opinion hasn’t changed. It’s alright. In the Apple store alongside the iPhone 11 they all pretty much look the same. I still can’t see the supposed big difference in screen quality some rave on about.

Is it possible to do this? I waited in line yesterday and bought the midnight green, and while its not as awful as OP describes, I think I'd prefer the gold. But can I actually return the phone simply because I don't like the color? I have to imagine they may not even have stock today.
 
I got the midnight green 256 GB yesterday. And while I think the color looks good, a part of me thinks that I should have gone with the white/silver instead.
 
the green an grey look awfully close in person. I went with gray as it will work well with case matching. Plus preferred the sides of the gray better. Cant go wrong with any color. They all look good.

But for those picking green because it will "stand out", I wouldnt be so sure since you can only really tell up close.
 
Is it wrong that I am interested to see how OP feels about it, once he/she actually has the phone?
 
What a fantastic morning read. Very entertaining.

I, on the other hand, want to make sweet and passionate love to my Midnight Green. Even went with a Pro MAX because size matters and I want to feel all of it’s midnight green-ness. ;)

Me too. It’s just beautiful.
