I thought it looked ugly online and during the keynote. Then I saw it in person. The best part is the stainless steel sides. I wouldn’t worry about the professional perception. It looks great.
what do you mean stainless steel sides>

How are people still feeling about the Green? I am still on the fence to be honest, one minute I love it one minute I miss space gray or silver LOL!

Love mine. I think all of the pro colors look great, but I don’t find myself wishing I had “something else” at all.

I feel the Green doesn't look professional for meetings etc...

I work as a data professional for a large commercial bank. No one has said anything about my phone. It’s such a muted, subtle color that I don’t really think it would catch anyone’s eye. IMO, that’s the best characteristic for a “professional“ accessory to have.

Yeah the sides are the part of the phone that stand out the most for me (even though the whole thing is very subtle, almost indistinguishable from grey in low light). The steel almost has copper undertones and glints a very pretty green in brighter light. Happy with my decision.

I love this color. I really like every color on every 11 series phone this year. But this and mint green and the lavender are my standout favorites. I like that they haven’t been done before.

The green is a future classic that people will inevitably feel guilty about for not buying. Paired with a black leather Apple case - sheer elegance. I believe people who fret over it are just hung up on wanting to be part of the iPhone ‘norm’.

I was actually thinking about getting the Black because I thought it would look slick. I have the Saddle Brown and love it too.

I returned mine yesterday. Waiting for my silver iPhone 11 pro max. I just didn’t love the green color.

I still have my original launch day iPhone 11 Pro Max in Midnight Green.

No regrets, never wanted to exchange, 100% satisfied still!

Midnight green is gorgeous, but I return it and bought a silver. The silver is just stunning, the matte white back it’s the best white they have ever released. I’m happy with my final decision.

I agree, the silver/white back is so well done that it makes the X/XS 'silver' models look dull on the back. The 11 Pro in silver has a true silver finish to the rear glass.

Hello there

I am planning to buy an iPhone 11 Pro before Christmas. I was going for the midnight green. Then, I read on this forum about Apple Watch. I’ve never been interested by it...but I saw pictures about the ceramic and it looks lovely. So now I’m considering getting the Silver iPhone, which is white, right?

I think it would pair nicely with the watch.

I have yet to go to the Store to see both IRL. Hard to choose. Also, it seems that half of the 11 Pro sold are green!!

I don’t really see the point of matching your watch and phone. Just get what colors you want for each.

I've decided midnight green isn't for me. I feel almost foolish for returning a device because of the color but I am going thru with it. The silver was available and I can pick it up today at 2 pm. The return of midnight green I did after ordering the silver, and I have until the 20th to return it. That cancels the trade-in and the original Citizens loan too. So easy. Thanks Apple. Can't wait to get my silver back.

I think they're different enough that it wouldn't obviously match. The silver Pro also isn't white on the back - it's still most definitely silver. I read lots of people calling it white - it might be lighter than the X, but compared to something actually white, it still looks more dull.

The 'silver' iPhone is still definitely the usual stainless steel frame (identical to the stainless steel Watch) and the rear is a silver-ish matte glass. It does look white, but the second you put it next to a white XR or white 11, it absolutely looks silver and not white.

The white ceramic watch is gorgeous in person. If you really wanted to match with it, the white 11 might be best but it'll still have an aluminum frame that's more silver than white.

What I like about the green is that when you’re looking at the front of the phone, the sides look black, and then when looking at the back, it all depends on the lighting.
