It's a "grass is always greener" thing for me. Whatever color I decide on, it's not long before I wish I had gotten one of the other colors. Right now I'm happy with deep purple though.
Got a tip for us?

I always switched from white/silver to black/space grey, and I'll continue doing that. My favorite color is blue, but I never liked the blue of the 12 Pro or the 13 Pro. The regular 12 in blue was gorgeous tho.
Currently using a 13 Pro in silver coming from a X in space grey so the next one will be graphite/space black. Like this I'm never really tired of the color!

Instantly regretted the 14PM in silver last Friday. It doesn’t look bad at all, but I couldn’t get past the stainless bezels—just too blingy for me. I managed to track down a space black about 2 hours away, so I drove there the next day and grabbed it.
Truthfully I probably wouldn’t have upgraded this year, but I also grew to not love sierra blue lol.

I wanted the new Space Black color but was too late on pre order day to get one on launch so I had to settle on gold. But I will say that it looks great with the Storm Blue case on it so it’s growing on me lol.
I think I can manage 🤣

I’ve regretted getting gold on my 13 Pro a max mostly because of sierra blue.
Didn’t like sierra blue when it launched. thought it was like a steel blue / faded blue / baby blue so i went with gold. (silver scratches too easily, graphite is boring, so gold is the easiest choice for me)
Now that i’ve seen the sierra blue in the wild, I am having massive regrets. Such a nice color. Oh well.

My wife likes to get the colorful ones. She got the Pro in purple this year. I'm boring. I always get Space Grey or Space Black. I once bought an iPad in white/silver (and slightly regretted it) but that was it. I always put a case on anyway so it hardly matters.
I regret buying a blue iPhone Mini 13. I wish Apple had green on release instead of releasing it during spring.
I regretted getting the Sierra Blue. I wanted the silver but got drawn into the halo colour hype. This year I said to myself I'm only getting the halo colour if I love it 100%. Hence my iPhone 14 Pro Max in Deep Purple
Only one time I was ever regretting the color choice and that being the rose gold iphone 7 plus, that my co-workers kept giving me crap for.
Backstory: ATT royally screwed up on the order when we went to actually order the phones, due to a system crash. They had 2 128GB 7 plus phones in rose gold meant for escalations. Going with any other color would have been weeks before they arrived, so I bit the bullet; haha.

No. I just upgraded my (Product) Red iPhone XR to a 14 Pro Max. None of the colors wowed me (I love blue), but I was leaning toward the purple. The only color not on backorder was black, so I ordered it on Sunday, and it arrived yesterday. It looks classy. Then I ordered a black UAG case (I’ve used UAG cases for my last two iPhones), which will cover my iPhone, anyway.
I always hate the color I get because apple showcases a completely different color for their ads that always hypes it up completely different, for example I thought the gold on the pro this year was more yellow gold, but when I opened it at the store I was gutted and crushed because in person it legit looked silver under the lamps of the Apple Store, when you stick it out in the sun it’s more champagne than anything 😒
But I don’t really care because the case usually makes me forget about the color and life goes on
The only time I ever had buyers remorse was with the iPhone 7 Plus black, once I saw the jet black in person I wanted it more than ever but I remember it was impossible to get back then

yeah, but I just paid off my 12 Pro. I wish I had got it in red. so much easier to see that on my desk. If I ever get a new iwatch it will be red too. What I wish is that some year they would do something about the phone it self, the ear piece sucks, and sound quality sucks too. I mean am I the only one who make calls on it?
I usually get the new color but I hate any form of purple so I got space black and it’s amazing
I've always been a gold guy since the 5S, simply because it's my favorite color overall, which makes it easy since, unless there's a limitation with my preferred color not being available, like with the Apple Watch Ultra, or not being what I think it's supposed to look like (like how the XS Max and the 11 Pro/Max looked bronze), I'll simply refer to my hierarchy of top favorites and go down the list of what I like and see what's available against it. Simple and makes the decision process easy!
I always get silver. I’ve gotten gold and space gray and never really cared for it. Silver I never regret! I liked the space black on the 14 pro max and my husband got it so we have it here in the house but for me personally i know id get over it because it’s not really “me” so I stayed silver and don’t regret it at all! It’s a gorgeous white this year!!
Not regret. However one day I will get a space grey iPhone. I want all my devices to be the same colour. I have a space grey iPad mini, iPad Pro and MacBook Air. The thing that holds me back from getting a space grey iPhone is that I don’t want a space grey/ black Apple Watch. I prefer gold/starlight and I want my iPhone and watch to match which is why I usually get a gold iPhone. I also have pink AirPods Max which whilst not gold, fit in better with my iphone and watch colour. So it’s not regret, I have a rational for my choice. It’s just that I have another route that I don’t go.
I got Space black before and gold color before but I never think about it just give me that phone. My current is a 14 Pro in space black as it was available in the cell store with the storage I wanted. It immediately went in a Otterbox Defender case and so I have no regrets on colors. The only color I will never buy is the green I saw a while back as it look like goose crap green
I’m a pretty good decision maker to be honest so I don’t overthink things like colours. I prefer a black/grey iPhone as it’s sleek and less obvious to others on first glance what it is.
