Who hates the gold? Gold is beautiful and popular. Less popular than the purple this year which makes the gold color easier to buy. I’m getting gold, I’m kind of done with dark iPhones, it’s difficult to get a case that looks good with black unless you get a black case, or even the purple. Gold blends well with many colored cases, I like the pink cases a lot with gold. What I mean by not blending well with dark iPhones is that a graphite iPhone mixed with a light colored case just looks took dark around the cameras, I’m just no longer a fan of a dark iPhone. The silver is awesome but the stainless scratches to easily.
The poll, it’s way too low!

I’ll be getting the gold too!

Ohh, ok. I currently have a sierra blue and alpine green iPhone 13 pro max, the alpine green is a nice color. I wonder if Apple decides to release a different color 4-6 months from now like the did with Alpine Green? I’m surprised the green wasn’t part of the lineup this year.

If so many people choose a similar color, then that color could take longer to get because of its popularity. This is why I chose gold. Not only is it awesome looking, but easier to obtain. Since I ordered the 1TB model, I hope Apple made enough gold iPhones with that storage option to where there aren’t any delays.

Would have been cool if they made the front bezel of the silver phone white again, now that there is no notch anymore. Maybe someone can make a mockup…

Did a quick mock. Not for me I don't think!
 
Black. Upgrading from an 11 Pro Max and was hoping to keep green but the green leather case will have to do.
 
I find all the colors somewhat underwhelming. I was hoping for a real black option, but it is still very greyish. The purple is fine, but that particular shade is not really doing it for me. So I end up with a silver phone, which is, as always, actually white. But, as has been pointed out, this year the white is not the off white of past years, but a real polar white. Brings me back to my old 5S.

I pre ordered a purple but the silver is tempting… current phone is gold and I’m ready for a change. Only thing is I prefer clear cases but they all go yellow which will be much more obvious with the silver.

Went Silver for the first time. Nervous about whether I’ll like it or not and find the right cases colors to match. I have been an Otterbox fan for a few years now and gave up Apple cases way too expensive for their quality and drop resistance.
 
If you're like most people, you'll love the color for 1 minute and then put a case on it and never see it again lol.
I don't use cases, I'd rather enjoy the phone along with the color option I chose, just a completely different experience IMO.
 
I know I’m in the extreme minority here but I went with gold. Purple is just not for me and though I think the black is really nice for the 14PM it had longer shipping times than I’d like and also my 7+, X and 11 were black and I didn’t want to go back to that color so soon. So it was between silver and gold, I previously owned a silver 6S+ and a gold 5S and the gold won because I could still get it delivered on Launch Day 👍
 
Saw 3 different pictures online of the purple color from people that attended the event
Each photo showed the purple in a different shade. Have to really see this in real life to make judgement
