I’m thinking gold this time around. Never had before? Anyone with a gold iPhone recommend? If not, probably silver.

I had planned to go for the silver but then they had to go and introduce a space BLACK to the mix. :rolleyes: Now I'm going to have to wait for the hands-on videos to see just how black this really is...
Same for me. I just knew I was gonna switch to silver this year. I currently have a graphite 13 pro.
 
Looks like graphite in all the pics so far on the apple site.
Putting graphite 13 Pro and space black 14 Pro next to each other in the store, the space black looks a tad darker than the graphite. Though still muuuuch lighter than the midnight 14. Really curious to see how it looks in real life.

I wasn’t upgrading this year at all because of how much I love my sierra blue. And then they brought out my favourite shade of my favourite colour and now I’m gonna be buying a deep purple iPhone on Friday.

It’s the colour I’ve been waiting for for YEARS.

Dammit.
 
The green colors were so beautiful, wish those had come back. I was excited for purple but it's pretty dark - something a little more bright would have been my choice. In person silver always draws me in so may have to stick with that.
 
My wife wants purple so I’m trying to decide if I should get the same as her or do black. It’s probably going in a case anyway so maybe it doesn’t matter.
 
Silver scratches too easily. I'm not a fan of purple. For the first time in a while I'll go with the black option. In the past I stayed away because the Space Grey/Graphite looked "brown" to my color-blind eyes. I'm hoping this new "space black" is closer to a true matte black option.

Found this space black and graphite comparison

I am torn between Silver (white) and Space Black. I pre-registered for Space Black, but the more I see the shiny rim, the less I like it, but the shiny silver doesn't bother me as much, but I like the rest of the black.

Edit: I think I figured it out, the Space Black reminds me of the old 3G and 3Gs phones and the black was so shiny and glossy and plasticky looking.

My 12 Pro Max is Pacific Blue is likely going to get replaced with Space Black or whatever they call it. Not purple. The elimination of a decent blue makes it so that there is really one choice for most men. I suppose you could go white/silver. But We'll see.
I've had the blue 12 Pro for nearly 2 years, kept in a clear case. I'm not super enthused with the color choices this year, so if I bought one it probably wouldn't matter. Get a non-clear case.

The lack of a SIM slot makes the decision harder. So I may just wait, and get the first watch in 4 years.

Let's go space truckin' with some deep purple!

Maybe.

The other three options bore me to tears. My current XsMax (probably a dinosaur to you people) is silver so sticking with that seems meh. Black I've had and it's meh. And I don't really think I like gold much.

I really can't tell if I like the purple or not. Seems to vary quite a bit depending on lighting. Is it more lavender or bluish? I can't really tell.
