If you are someone that puts the phone in a case like the vast majority of people, the colour will quickly become irrelevant to a certain degree. The only part seen usually is the camera module. The silver and gold tend to suit the clear cases with patterns etc.
 
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 🙂
Well I can agree I'm concerned about the silver edges. Not even sure that the case will completely cover them if they turn out to be a problem. Guess I'll finally find out tomorrow one way or the other.

The reviews are out.. still on the fence between silver vs purple. Purple looks seems to be a lot richer in purple, and at different angles can seem more grayish… the silver seems to be more modern and whiter!
 
Any reviews of the gold pro max out there?
It's very subtle Gold. I thought it might look more yellow, but it's not. Similar level of subtlety as the Deep Purple. The last picture is next to a Silver, you can see how the Gold almost pushes the Silver to look blue-ish, but it's not. The Silver is very white.

Very interesting! It does look slightly less intense than last year's gold but it could just be the lighting. Thanks very much.
 
I went from Sierra Blue to Space Black. No regrets. I‘m not a purple fan so happy with my choice.
I think that might be me even more after seeing the black pic on the huge Apple deliveries thread. The purple looked weird again like it will look dark gray/blackish

Anyone feeling remorse or has a desire to flip colors? One of the struggles I am thinking of is Silver vs Purple. I know Silver will definitely look good, but then the purple feels special and hides the cameras better.
Actually this year it was pretty clear to me what I would get: The space black iPhone. It's beautiful and one of the nicest black colors Apple has made.
 
I ordered black, silver and deep purple. I have never owned the silver/white but it's the one I am keeping.

Black - meh
Deep purple - well...it's too purple for me, a bit feminine
Silver - classic look and it's really sharp on the 14P.

I had preordered a space black 14 pro max. However, I have just left the Apple Store and now I have cancelled my order. Of all of the phones on the display the space black ones already had scuffs, especially around the charging port. And this is only after one day!

I don’t see space black holding up well with usage. Not sure what I’m going to do.

I take back my intention to exchange my deep purple for silver. When it was delivered today, I just wanted to look at it. Yeah, I'm keeping the deep purple. What a beautiful color I will never see because I immediately put a case on it.

Deep purple is beautiful but it looks better in photos. TBH, all of the 14 pro colors are lacking. Gold is ugly. Silver is blah. SB is too black. Purple is a bit too feminine.
