Other iPhone 13/Mini: Which Color Will You Get?

Right, I just realized that lolI was actually agreeing with your original post.
You know what? As long as their products keep delivering the bleeding edge technology and performance, I don’t care if fashion is a factor. Actually, I do like having colorful options and good looking design. I wouldn’t make it a priority, but it’s a welcome change each year.
This strikes me quite much. That they even don’t bother to match screws at the bottom with the color of the phone. ?
It is so hard for me to decide which color to get this year, deciding between pink and red.
I own a white 12 Mini and as much as I love the white 12 Mini, the 13 Mini is similar enough to the 12 Mini that I don't want the same color again. And I want to use the device for many years to come as it will be the last Mini for a while. A bright color wasn't an option because of that. So I decided for the pink one as it is a very light pink with a shade of white in some lighting. But I really do love this cherry red color though. Always wanted a cherry red iPhone, never owned one. But I used my phone naked or in an ultra thin transparent case. The two things I am most afraid of, I will get sick of the very bright color and you will see every case of usage. Fingerprints, scratches, discoloration of the aluminium sides like on the 12 Mini etc.
Then again I am afraid the pink 13 Mini will be to close to my white 12 Mini.

I am on the same position. I’m testing a starlight iPhone 13 mini, but I’m not sure if I’ll return it for a cherry red iPhone. This year’s Product(RED) is truly gorgeous.
However, after using this starlight iPhone I’m realizing how gorgeous this iPhone is. Although the bezels can be a bit distracting (and I have a silver iPad Pro, mind you), and I’d really like to try the midnight. Anyways I plan to use it with a case so the bezels shouldn’t bother me too much, and the red is really really gorgeous.
Oh man, even after buying it, I can’t decide...
At least you both are deciding just colors. I’m on the verge of buying 13 or 13 mini all thr time. ?
MINI EVERY DAY!!!!!!
Otherwise YOU WILL REGRET IT!Yeah, maybe a specific color on sale will do it for me. I am leaning towards pink because it is so light, would never choose a bright pink color. Red is so nice, but you see fingerprints and, red 12 line had discolored aluminum from the sun or heat. So this could happen to the 13 too. White also would have been my color of choice if I wouldn't have owned the white 12 Mini already.
Why do you think that? I just don’t want to be feared of battery anymore and that’s why I’m scared to go for a mini again. ?MINI EVERY DAY!!!!!!

About colors: I think that on 12/13 series are lighter colors better because of fingerprints on the back. Despite I like the new blue one, if I upgrade, it will be white, as Starlights is the new name for white this year. But pink has something in it truly, to be sure. I feel it just too ‘girlish’ for me. ?
Yeah, I personally don’t like pink color, but this year’s pink iPhone is really nice. Not for me, but Apple did a good job with colores this year. I just miss the midnight was a bit less black, and a bit more blue
I didn’t know about this discoloration issue! Wow, that’s something to keep in mind, for sure. Still, I love the red one.MINI EVERY DAY!!!!!!

The blue this year is the less risky opinion after the black one, it is nice, but I cannot find anything special on it
I’m resurrecting this thread, just to share that, after having tried the starlight color (which I liked) I think it’s not quite for me, not sure why. And, for the record, the aluminum is champagne color, definitely, almost 5S gold. Not for me.
That leaves me with just 2 options: Midnight (which is essentially black) and Product(RED), which currently is my favorite, but I’m not sure if I could get tired of it over time.
Do you think I will be more confortable with Midnight than Red after a couple of years?
On the other hand, I wanted to guess which could be the spring colors… maybe some shade of green and an orange color? Maybe brown?

Hi! I finally purchased my 13 mini.
I’m resurrecting this thread because I think it is better to use the unofficial thread about iPhone 13 colors, instead of just opening a random topic about it.
I was undecided between the red and the midnight 13 mini. Both are gorgeous, I had both under my roof because of circumstances (I’m returning one), and even though my favorite color was the midnight, which I thought it was plain black and, spoiler: It is NOT, the red one was gorgeous as well.
Before I explain which one I kept, let me tell you why midnight is -for me- the best looking color on an iPhone EVER. It may look like black on the store, and as you can see on my last post above, I was convinced that midnight was black. But it is not! From the moment I saw it under my room’s light, or under the sunlight (ironic, isn’t it?), I realized that it is a gorgeous deepest darkest blue. I love it!
So, whilst this year’s product(RED) is one of the best looking, a deep intense red, I’ve decided that I actually prefer the midnight color, especially if I’m keeping this iPhone for many years.
