Pacific Blue looks more of a futuristic color to me.


I agree. Was expecting a different blue. Will go GOLD with 12 Pro Max. This year gold looks awesome. Went green for 11 Pro Max. Didn't really like it but with life being busy and what not just kept it. At 38 with a business to run and kids priorities change LoL.

Silver again this year, disappointed with blue colour on the pro models, was expecting it to be a sexy dark blue like the Apple Watch, plus them stainless steel rings around the camera rings on the silver iPhone look sexy AF.

Long story short. Silver was THE color I wanted. But, went to the store. Looked at the options. Came back confused. Ordered Pacific Blue.
But, had a feeling I will get bored with it. Cancelled order. Back to silver. No regrets. Silver in its two tone front and back looks timeless.
Bonus: I can get it immediately instead of waiting for 3 weeks. Maybe, I’m in the minority ?

The Pacific Blue is underwhelming compared to the hype and blue is one of my favourite colours! It was disappointing. The Silver is nothing, but I get the timeless aspect. If I was a Pro person, which I'm not, it would absolutely be the Graphite. It looks very cool. Gold is the runner-up.

Colour is the most subjective thing.

I'm concerned about any color other than silver, because the others don't have a pure stainless steel finish along the edges and my midnight green iPhone 11 Pro suffers from knicks in the corners now where the original green has been chipped away to reveal a black base. Since I don't use a cover, preferring to retain the iPhone as-is with its color scheme (and not liking any of the transparent covers I've yet seen), any paint chipping is annoying.
It’s black underneath? Gross. If that’s true you just decided for me

Wish the silver was more silver on the back tbh. It should really be called arctic white or something in its current state; yes the sides are silver but the back is more white than the white on the 12.

After seeing the pacific blue pro max in person I had to have it, the blue stainless steel frame is a work of art ? I still want a silver pro max as well. ??‍♂️?

Decisions decisions. Buy both if you can XD I have the Pacific Blue Pro max and I really love this color. I'm glad I got this one over space gray (Graphite if that's what Apple calls them for the 12 Pro and 12 PM).

Don’t think that would be the smartest to do. ? I’ll be keeping this pacific blue bad boy until the apple foldable iPhone hits the market ???

I know this is going to sound strange but I thought the Pacific Blue was too much blue. I really liked the colors where there is some differentiation of the back and sides colors. This is why I really like the Silver and Gold colors over the Pacific Blue. My wife has a Pro Max and it looks stunning in the Gold color.

I'm going with the silver option, for sure. I've had white/silver for the majority of my iPhones but last year I was wowed by the new midnight green color and that didn't last very long. I started hating it almost right away because it looks gray/black 98% of the time. Every time I see a silver 11 Pro I instantly regret my decision from a year ago.

I actually tried exchanging it at the Apple Store but for some bizarre reason they were unable to retrieve my order (even though I bought directly from them). The girl helping me at the store tried calling a bunch of people and after close to an hour I told her to never mind. She was nice enough and got a manager to comp me a free leather case for the inconvenience, however.
I absolutely loved my 6s in Rose Gold - had it for 3 years - non-gendered as my friends - male/female like it. Sooo, I decided to go with silver/white for my 8s ans 11 and got totally bored. Now I'm taking a chance on Pacific Blue - I can always get a case. NOW - as far as that 'notch' goes - waiting for it to disappear?
