For people who prefer not to let other people notice
the three big lenses on the back of Pro & Pro Max,
which color will make the lenses least noticeable?

Well, you won't notice the back cameras if you're actually using the phone's screen. But if you have to choose, the darkest colour will hide those dark lenses the best. Same could be said for hiding the bezel, if you care about that.

Graphite is the only one that hides them at all really.

Graphite phone with a black Incipio Grip for MagSafe case does quite a good job…

Have the silver. Use a full piece glass camera lens protector to cover it. Helps if the lens protector has black rings around each lens. Makes it somewhat hidden, especially if silver white gold Color surrounds the lens.

I would think a simple eye test is all it would take to tell. Does it really take a poll and a thread when you can visually see each colored camera bump?

there are no Apple Stores around me. The Best Buy and Verizon corporate stores did have display units, but strangely all were silver. :(

The very title of the post has me curious. I ask this question in all seriousness. Why would one care if others saw the camera bumps on their phone? Personally, I couldn't give a rat's behind if someone else saw the camera bump on my phone. Please explain the thinking here? I could assume vanity, but I'm not because I cannot see why it would matter.

Then I’d say definitely graphite like most others mentioned. I got the silver because I was impatient and the white around the lenses shows just how large they are. Gold would be similar.

The question doesn’t make any sense. The iPhone 12 pro camera is slightly smaller than the 13 but who really cares. Not that much of a difference. I guess the question is just like a few years back that people thought the rose gold color was a girly phone and posted a concern.
