Other If so many of yall put your iPhone in a case, why does iPhone color choice matter? Sometimes I wish Apple gave us no choice at all.

I don’t use a case! Haven’t done since the 5s. 30 mins left for me to decide on which colour to go for..
I need/want a case with a kickstand so I have only found black cases with stands that I like. So colors don’t really matter to me. I am jealous of those who don’t use cases and keep their phones in great condition. That ain’t me!
I leave my phone naked! Cases make the phone thicker, heavier, and hides the beauty. So I wish there were more color choices in the higher end phones. In fact, that’s the one time I’m different - I put a skin on the phone if I’m stuck with a boring color. My old iPhone Xs has a fake wood grain back.
Since the invention of the iphone you mean ?? This is literally the point at which the game changed in the mobile space. You went from Nokias and ericssons that had durable plastic and rubber. nokia build quality is literally a meme. Need ed charged once a week. Apple gambled on punters will to sacrifice this for a device you had to charge at least once a day, and would smash if you dropped it .... And punters couldn't wait to throw their money at this, henceforth 95% of every phone made since that point is a daily charging required, glass fronted fragile faberge egg device. And people lap it up. for the most part. Remember X-press on covers ??
Same here. I haven't bothered with one for many years, and aside from the occasional scratch on a corner I haven't had any issues.
I rocked my 4S and 5 sans case and had zero issues. Granted I'm not particularly hard on my devices, but still. A couple drops on carpet from 2-3 ft up but no glass damage, no scratches on any surface. I only started using a case when Apple went with the rounded sides, which made it harder for my fat meat hooks to pick up the phone one-handed and sure-handedly. For me it was about grip, not protection, per se. The 12 Pro will go naked as well unless the stainless bands on the side prove too slick to grip.
Clear Cases suck. You can see all the dirt and grit that gets trapped in there...
I use a clear case but I’d love to go without a case. When I do though, my XS Max is like the slipperiest bar of soap ever and doesn’t stay where I put it, so case it is.
Planning on the semi ugly MagSafe clear case this year with the wallet for the 12 Pro Max until some better third party cases with MagSafe arrive. Unless it’s not bar of soap slippery like my XS Max then maybe no case.

I bought my iPhone X used and got a killer deal even though it was white which I hate.
My rationale was that I always use a case and after a while I actually forgot the phone was white.
I removed the case one day to clean the phone and was actually surprised.

The sharp edges of the 12 series will help. I remember using my iPhone 4 without a case. Very comfortable.
ESL has clear cases with kickstands.
I wish I could find a black case with a kickstand I like.
The Apple Clear Case usually don’t yellow too bad.
You can buy about a dozen of other clear cases for that price and just swap them out every 6 months.
Hybrid clear case, Ringke fusion-x camo. Great protection and don't turn yellow. Color became a thing with the iPhone 5s gold, I remember that color sold out fast.
