As you mature in life, travel more, get the degree and meet people that touch your soul, you soon realise that it's only sad, insignificant, shallow people that need materialism i.e. stuff made in factories in order to make them feel important.
Don't forget, this years iPhone will be truly forgotten about this time next year!

To be fair, I travel abroad quite often. I meet many people who touch my soul. But I still love my iPhones.

In fact, a big part of the reason why I can travel is because I can work remotely. I can get half the work done from my iPhone without needing a laptop.

So while I didn’t buy my 11 Pro to show off, I did want the latest and greatest, which allows me to work from my phone more often than I would have otherwise.
 
Maybe someone needs to make a case with flashing RGB lights that read "SEE MY NEW PHONE... LOOK LOOK LOOK". This would be perfect for all those that buy phones to show off how much money they can spend :)

I didn't buy my phone to show it off. I was just joking in my post. My friends make fun of me for loving Apple products and wouldn't know one phone from another or care for that matter. I usually put my phones in leather cases but got the Apple clear case so I could enjoy the new gold color for awhile.
 
I enjoy this color, it's nice change. The matte back finish is really what I love the most.
 
you sir are correct. Cubs lost recently 5 games in a row by 1 run. I'm annoyed.
You and I both. I could talk this team with you all night long but I’ve hijacked the thread badly enough lol. Between Kimbrel serving up bombs and the way they lost Saturday’s game and then Yu imploding yesterday, ugh. Well, the winter meetings should be interesting. Have a great night!!

Oh, for everyone else lol, I like how the midnight green can color shift from almost space grey to the military green. It’s subtle but implemented well.
 
The purpose of this thread is to express regret and help others avoid making the same mistake.

What mistake are you helping people avoid? You think that everyone is going to hate the green? I love it. It’s sort of a muted hunter green and it suits me perfectly.

Now please just don’t show up with your silver phone in one of those, “What color case should I put on my new iPhone?” Threads.

People show off their jewelry, gadgets, cars in order to make them feel important all the time.
Those people have a total lack of identity and are trying to define their identity through material possessions.

There’s nothing wrong with it, and certainly doesn’t warrant professional’s advice.
That is known as denial and is used to avoid the work required for change.

Please don't stay in that place for long.. growth and maturity cannot happen there.

I got the green and really like it. Downside is the case i put it in obscures all traces of the color so anything would have been the same.
 
That's a pretty color. I haven't liked any of Apple's color offerings besides the product red, but they never release it for the top-end phones.
I was disappointed that the Cosmic Blue rumor was untrue. Green looks like dark gray to me unless there is low light.
 
I like Silver. Get Silver! You can't get it wrong with Silver. It's the original iPhone's color.

However I'm more intrigued as to why OP chose to censor "hate". There are much more eloquent words to describe it, such as ****ing ****, ************, ****, ********, *******.
 
I love my green iPhone, but my partner now calls it GreyanGreen. I do regret buying the clear case though, I much prefer the apple black leather one. Leather feels so much better than plastic.
