I love my purple 14 pro max. Best color I’ve had! I do wish I could get one in product red tho

Can't they make a pride version like the Apple Watch? OK maybe going too far..... Apple is losing it with the colours...they seem to be fading away .... Purple should be much punchier ... the Sierra Blue of IPhone Pro 13 kinda grew on me after a while....seemed to have some silvery grey mixed into the blue to give it a pleasant tone. Who is making decisions with these pastel poopy colours at Apple anyway?
Likely the same crew of misfits who decided that deleting Space Gray from the MacBook Pro was a good idea.
These pastel shades on the regular models are just so dull and make the phones look like toys... Missing the deeper tones which were standard on 12-14 models (the green on the 13 oh my God 🥲)
I reckon I'm gonna nab a champagne gold or whatever it's to be called for the Pro models. I'm tired of having to buy new soft clear cases because they tint yellow after several months and look just awful. This would solve that problem.
Got the white last time because I wanted to be able to find it easier in the dark. It's decent. The iPhone 5s Space Gray is still the best iPhone color for me.
Why the muted pastel shades? Why not some strong vibrant orange, red, yellow...
I personally like the pastels and wish they were available on the Pro model. Not to take anything existing away, just to add some fun.
I smile when I look at my 1TB/16GB RAM MB Air Space Grey machine ..... thx for reminding me how nice it is.
You can have any color you want, so long as it's either (almost) black or white, or barely a color. 🙃
The designers were inspired by some Mentos that one of them spilled on their work desk. Pure genius.
Space Gray is the color of the Gods. Black looks crap after twenty minutes and the silver looks el cheapo on the 16" Pro.
I’m not aware of a red PVD coating that exists. We do PVD coating at work. That’s not to say Apple doesn’t have the budget to will it into existence.
If they do get polished edges this time around, maybe that will help the colors pop more.
They began to look dated so were phased out, as the current group will be when they get long in the tooth. You're basically a dude in 2017 side-eying painted on jeans pining for roomier pants. Well look where we are know. Kids unironically wearing JNCOs. Give it time and they will make a come back, as all things do.
....Just not in the Pro line.
Remember the original iMac colors?
It seems like Tim Cook specifically does not like bold colors at all.
No, that isn’t the issue. The current color schemes for iPhones are FAR more dated looking than the colorful iPods of old. Typically color choices like this are intended to age out and be replaced with a different selection. But Apple isn’t doing anything like that now. Instead they’re iterating variations on the same selection of boring, desaturated hues.
Handling color in a professional way is tricky but it isn’t impossible. The fact that something has saturated colors does not in and of itself suggest that it’s for kids.
Nope.
Muted Pastels are getting long in the tooth but are certainly not dated. Glossy brights are an extremely dated look, especially in tech.
