I think people underestimate how close to last year’s graphite model the deep purple is. Tonally is really close but with a hint of purple when the light hits it a certain way.

Space black is probably the phone with the biggest change since it’s notably darker than last year, let alone with the blacked out frame and camera bump.

it reminds me of mini 1 in space grey or whatever they called that one and iPhone 5 slate sorta, and dare I say the sides 7 jet black

While the Black is tempting, I really believe a Jet Black ala iPhone 7 or a finish like the Galaxy S21 Ultra would be much better.

So I'm going with my original plan of Silver.
This. That color was the perfect one. Gosh, how I miss it. Sometimes I wish I kept it longer, it was taken from us too soon.

Getting the silver because it’s basically the white iPhone. And I like the white aesthetic of apple products. Now only if that purple was more grape and vibrant, I woulda jumped all over that.

I have to say none of the colours are particularly exciting this year. I think the blues they did with the iPhone 12 model launch were the best.

Deciding between black and purple. In this light the purple looks interesting, gives me a Batman vibe..

I had a purple prepped for preorder and reading this put what I couldn’t figure out the words for into perspective. If the deep purple had literally any more purple in it I would be going purple, but as it is it looks barely purple in darker lighting and nearly grey in bright. I cancelled and put in for space black. Best of luck to all.

I tried cancelling but the store is down. Same thing here. I had the 13 pm silver, I wanted a change. Gold is not for me, and purple looks appealing but it looks more like grayish like you said. I def don't dig that. Well I wonder what happens now since my preorder is for the purple already.
 
Its always been what apple call it silver is actually white in person.

I know.. just still want to see some hands on.. I don't think I've had a silver iPhone since the iPhone 6s+.. I've been an iPhone lifer.. Since Day 1/OG iPhone
 
I usually get the new colors and after the announcement it was more of the same. I wanted purple. Last night I decided I wanted to go with black this year. When I preordered I had black selected, but for some reason went back and changed it to silver lol
 
I got the Space Black 14 PM model to try out. Will be returning it for sure.

Yea I really hope :apple: bring back a true silver color like the 6.
 
I’d like to see a comparison between iPhone X space grey and 14 pro space black. Something tells me X space grey is still darker.
 
Decided right before pre orders went live went with purple.
I missed it. But I’ll survive. Gives me time to play with them in the stores and see the color in person, and then I’ll order..l probably will have to wait til October for delivery but oh well

Lol I did the same thing. I'm coming from Sierra Blue 13Pro and flip flopped between black and silver - just ended up going with purple at the last minute. Not a fan of the glossy black frame on space black and the white looks like every other year's phone with a minor change in hue. Purple will be a pretty safe choice while not sticking to the same black / white colors that are out every year.
