Interested to see if anyone has decided to return/exchange their green iPhone Pro Max for something different? Still on the fence about green - liked the thought I’d it at first, but a few days later missing traditional SG or silver a tiny bit!

Yeah I’m in the same boat as you. I got the silver/white for the X and XS and decided I wanted to switch it up this year and went for the new “must have” color and now I’m wishing I would’ve gone with white again. The green doesn’t even look green under most lighting. Just looks like a boring gray. You have to be in fluorescent or outdoor lighting to really appreciate its color.

I’m tempted to swap it out but not sure I have the energy or time to go to the Apple Store and deal with that madness. Plus the tedious work of setting up the phone again and having to sync all my stuff to it.

Initially I was excited for green. Then I saw it in person and decided to pass. Once I saw the silver I knew I had to have it. I have always gotten the black or SG. This is the first time I’ve had silver. It looks amazing to me this time around.

I was accusing disappointed I didn’t like the green. I thought for sure I would have.

I’m rocking the midnight green in apples clear case/cover.

Haven’t really checked out the other colours in person so probably the reason why I’m sticking with it

No regrets here on my midnight green Pro Max, but I have to admit the Space Gray on the Pro is equally smashing.

I saw one before mine arrived and I regretted ordering green immediately. Looked dull and boring.

I have always had either white or silver. Once I had gold.

Now I have mine and I put a Spigen clear case on it which gave it a glossy finish. I think I may like it! I definitely don’t hate it.

Is there a restocking fee if you exchange it?

I’m not really sure what to do. I have the midnight green, but I want to swap it out for the silver one. My problem is I don’t live near an Apple store and I bought my phone from Apple on the Verizon installment plan. I don’t want to just return it because I don’t have any other phone to use while I wait on the silver one. Best Buy and target don’t have them in stocks. Verizon does have them, but I’m not sure they would let me buy one since I haven’t returned the one I have now to Apple. I wouldn’t mind buying it outright since I was gonna pay off my installment anyway, but I think they’ll require me to return the one I have now before they can sell me one outright :(

Rocking a naked 11 Pro Max Midnight Green. I still love it.

I imagine that I will still love it 11 months from now when I am drooling over the next release; just like I did the Jet Black.

I initially wanted the green but quickly decided I wanted a red iPhone 11 so preordered that.

When picking up my 11 I only briefly looked at the green but on Sunday night I went to Best Buy and saw the space gray and immediately fell in love I had the SG for my X then got gold for my X🅂 Max but the Pro Max gray reminded me of the slate gray iPhone 5. So immediately that night I started checking the  store app for stock at my local  store.

Tuesday was my day so I left class early and had to miss my second class LOL to exchange my red 11 for my beautiful space gray Pro Max.

I’m glad I didn’t go for midnight green, once the hype wears off you realise it’s a tad dull. I went for gold and my god this thing is pretty 😍 prettiest iPhone I’ve owned!

Love my midnight green Pro Max. Have it in a clear Caudabe case, with a sunflower pop socket.

It's a nice change for me. I've always had either space gray or silver. I do like the green color shift on it. And everyone asks about it since it's a new color.

I loved the color when I first saw it introduced. I wasn't planning on getting the new phone, but the color really drew me in. I had to have it! So i went to the new Apple store at MOA on Saturday and picked it up and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice.

I am loving my MG even more now that it's in a Saddle Brown leather case. In the clear case I returned, it was very hard to see the color. Since the green contrasts so much with the saddle brown, the green color is extremely apparent now and I think the combo is very classy looking. No regrets here.
