Usually Silver is the one you can get. Guess they finally revolved supply around that but went too low. Wish they could get the balance right on regular vs Pro already. 14s galore in store but barely any PM and barely any normal Pros
Maybe they did get it right. Plenty of 14s for most people, while the 14 Pro maintains its high margin, premium, and rare image. Anyone who really needed a phone can grab one of the 14s, and they may still be an upgrade candidate.

I suspect the Pros are manufactured at just the right amount to create scarcity.

I've never understood that logic. No one can buy something that isn't available. Eventually they will go with something lower, or even worse, another manufacturer. At least with Apple they eventually stabilize. I still couldn't find a Wii after two years, so eventually just got an XBox.
 
Not sure if I should pick Deep Purple or Space Black or Silver? Those 3 look amazing. I am really torn right now.
  • Do you prefer Light or Dark phones?
  • If you will use a case, what colour? and do you want the camera bump to contrast?
  • Do you want the camera lenses to be prominent (Silver/Gold), or blending into the background (Black/Purple)?

I really can’t tell whether I like the lighter or darker phone colors. I had the iPhone 11 in White/Silver, 12 pro max in Graphite, and 13 in Pink. I mean, I like them all the same, but when it comes to cases, it’s really easy to clothe the lighter color iPhones. So I think that’s one of the advantages that I am looking at.

As for the camera lenses, I kind of want them to be blending on the background. 😅

The sad part is that, I still won’t be able see the new iPhone line ups in person until next month as they are set to be officially released in my country most probably by the 3rd week of October. 🥺
 
I am so indecisive. Would love to switch to a new lighter color after my iPhone X and 12 in black. However I like the Apple Watch in starlight best (stainless steel is too expensive for me for a Watch) and my wedding ring is gold 😅 so which Pro color would look best with Watch and ring? I would use the phone without a case but with apple care+
 
Returned Deep Purple and got the Silver.

Silver all the way for me, this is what I'm using now, with Elderberry Case looks better than with Deep Purple, gives a House of the Dragon Vibe. 🤌
