This is the video we've been waiting for regarding the PURPS!


And now I'm kind of wishing I got Space Black instead. AAARGH.

I keep jumping back and forth what seems like every hour between Black, Purple, and Silver.

Black = Looks stealth and is classic!

Purple = I’ve always loved the color purple, and in certain lights this looks amazing.

Silver = All my Apple devices are Silver so would match, although this edition looks almost white.

Any help would be appreciated- should I just flip a 3 sided coin or go with what I can get in store on Friday?!

And funnily enough, it solidifies my choice of purple. It's such a beautiful, inky metallic tone. Love it.

Ok, now I'm feeling better about purple after your comments. I'll just wait 'til I have it in hand. The agony! LOL
 
For the first time in a few years I’m actually not torn! I’ve always been white or silver since the iPhone 3G. However, blue is my favorite color so I went to the pacific blue in 2020 and then Sierra blue in 2021. Happy to finally be going back to silver, I’ve actually missed the clean, simplistic look of it.

Am a purple fan, but also glad that it’s subtle and not in your face, so I shouldn’t tire of it. No regrets choosing Deep Purple, but the second choice would’ve EASILY been the Space Black with orange leather case combo… wanted an orange leather case for a long time and this year’s looks killer.
 
After seeing these videos of Space Black I’m having second thoughts about going with White/Silver. I knew this would happen lol.

Space Black is very dark. Graphite is lighter on all surfaces including the bezel.

Not enthused about the colours for the 14 this year. The 12 & 13 had much better lineups in contrast. It doesn’t matter much to me anyway as I would use a case and only the camera module would be visible.
 
I've had moments of wishing I got the purple, but I don't think I'll be unhappy with the black. I always use a case, and it will be easier to match in the blue/green/teal color tones I tend to prefer. I've been rocking pacific blue the last two years and never once regretted it.

For me, if there was iPhone 14 Pro Max in blue, there is no doubt that I would have gone for the blue. I went with Space Black this time. Purple for me is "meh" at this point.

After watching that video I think both those colors look great in their own way.

Yeah this video confirms everything I was worried about when it came to Deep Purple. It looks washed out and doesn't remotely resemble any of the Purple/Indigo things he compares it to. The camera bump also doesn't look like it matches the rest of the phone either.

My lilac silicone case arrived in the mail yesterday and the color is so beautiful - even better than the web site makes it out to look. I think it's the nicest purple I've ever seen. But it's a pastel color so it only really looks good with a white camera bump I think, so I'm glad I got the silver phone to go with it. I think this is a much nicer looking way to have a purple phone.

This actually makes me glad I went with purple. I love the grayish purple tone. Was thinking I should have gone with silver, but not now. I don't think I'd like the shiny silver sides on it, an ex this shade of purple is VERY BEAUTIFUL TO ME 🙂
