The Note 9 and S9 come in pink and blue?
Unless your Samsung’s are both black I’m not sure why you’d think the XR is difficult to take seriously?
You could have bought a black XR?
Yellow is really bold and beautiful, go for it
Oh I did.
I pre-ordered it and have had it over a week now.
Had a chance to see all the others this morning.
Went into Apple and had a hands on.
My thoughts and rankings haha.
1. Yellow
Love it. Definitely (for my taste) the nicest, boldest colour. And the most different.
2. Blue
Love the shade of blue. Think it looks great. Would happily take the blue too.
3. Black
I actually really liked the sleek feel of the black. Looked so much better in person. With that pre-installed black wallpaper, I felt it. Will also look great with whatever case you chuck on it.
4. Coral
Liked but didn't love in the flesh. In real like there's no hint of orange on it anywhere for me. Verges too pink, but it's still a nice colour.
5. White
This didn't translate as well in real life as it does in pics for me. It was nice, and I would happily own one, but I just wasn't as impressed as I expected.
6. Red
This one just isn't my taste at all.
Really nice to see them all in person. So many people were flocking round them and commenting on their favourites.
Made me want to buy them all haha. (I don't have that kind of money lol).

I have coral, I was hoping it would be more orange, looks a lot more pinker in person
The blue fits really well with the rest of my fleet
Before you go 'you so rich'
Gold 64 SE 10.2 (jailbroken) I paid full retail for $499 in 2016 (but longest Ive owned an iPhone, so got my $$) and it has served as the loyalist of backup devices when selling others and having downtime/ tinkering as well
SE 32 12.0.1 I paid $80 with a $30 prepaid required so effectively a $50 SE (clearance before XS event/EOL for SE) recently bc SE has my heart
X 64 11.3.1 (jailbroken) I got subsidized with a contract for service I'm not switching in the next year now that I'm a year in, plan un changed, for $549
XR 128 I traded my 7+ 128 to apple for a bit of a rip but convenience and paid like $560 out of pocket after tax last week
---
~$1700 net for 4 phones, over the past several couple years and could flip at least like the last two and get good return and believe it or not I usually am playing around with a rotation of 2-3 of them while at home connected to wifi. its not like they just collect dust, even without a SIM in em. I seen people get close to that amount with (1) XS MAX
so not as bad a blow to the wallet as one might expect. The SE's I'd get nothing for, but I also paid almost nothing for one of them brand new with a great screen
BUT, ANYWAYS, I LOVE MAH BLUE

Great collection!!
...and shouldn't have to explain yourself to anyone. If you want to buy 10 XR's, more power to you! Anyone who makes comments about spending is just jealous or insecure about their own life.
Apple representative,"Why are you returning your phone,sir"? PCMacUser,"Because my phone isn't serious enough".

Actual coral is more pink than orange.But still not coral so I opted for red.
My friend bought coral, but it was more pink than coral, lucky for him Apple let him swap it for black
Myself, I have a black one. I'm boring.

Ended up going black and I'm really happy with it. It looks so sleek, it's a great base for any color case, and it hides the bezels well.....when you're looking at the screen, having the whole edge of the phone being black helps because it doesn't "outline" the screen. You aren't noticing the sides at all out the corner of your eye. That was what kinda changed my mind from white to black....the bright silver border that the white has really "outlines" the bezels and emphasizes them. Still looked really nice, but I just preferred the black. It's also a bit of a nice change since I've had a white/silver 7 (and 6 before that).
I kinda wanted to get something different and was leaning towards blue....but I'm scared I'll get tired of the color after a while, and with cases that expose a bit of the back by the camera, getting certain colors will clash. I wish the blue was a bit darker, it's pretty but very "Disney". Just not my thing.

Our white and red.
She wanted yellow because she is a Steelers fan. Out of stock until the end of November so she went with red. She chose it after I explained what the Product program was. Being in the medical field it was an easy choice for her. She actually loves her decision.
I wanted blue because I have always had black phones and wanted something different. And I am a Carolina Panthers fan. Could not see one in person so I didn't want to chance it. All the pictures and videos made it look very baby/sky/pastel/easter egg blue. So I went with white and made it my Stormtrooper.

I have red, and exchanged for the white after seeing this picture the other day. Have since had a little remorse for switching out the red for the white, but I’ll keep the white - as I feel that for me it’s the overall better choice. This has been my go to case for my last few iPhones, but compared to my Xs Max, this case seems to enhance the black bezel of the Xr, so I may pick up another case. It could also be my screen protector which I noticed has a very wide black border - I’m still waiting for a completely clear one to arrive in the mail.
Well actually made it to the Apple store today. I was able to finally see the blue in person. And as I feared it is a blue I could have lived with. It is light but not as light as I expected. So now I have a little regret with not going with the blue. But I'll live with my decision to get white. At least I am 100% sure I won't get sick of white six months down the line.
I recently got a white XR, my wife got a red XR, I’m envious, I would have gotten a yellow one, but they (T-Mobile) were out. With iPhone 6 trade-ins, we got theses for $500 each, not a bad deal. I love the face recognition and the swiping minus a home button. It is superior. My only concern is when I get kidnapoed, they will be able to open my phone with my face, and unlock all of my secrets!
That's funny. That is exactly the reason I didn't select Yellow (I'm a Browns fan........please help......). I ended up going with Blue.

I have spent way too much time on this.
To me, the images on Apple’s website, commercials, or even tech review videos don’t give a true color representation. You have to see these phones for yourself.
After visiting the Apple Store, I must say these phones are gorgeous! Here’s my review after seeing the colors in person:
Black: I think the black on the XR looks nice and blends right into the larger bezel around the LCD display. You probably can’t go wrong with black, but I find the other colors more appealing. I’ve always had black iPhones because they seem the most sleek and minimal, but there’s just something about the brighter XR colors that call to me.
White: Very clean. It’s a really nice “true white” phone with a silver bezel. Like black, you can’t go wrong if you want a color that is both low profile and professional.
Product Red: That ruby red aluminum around the edges gives this phone the best looking edges IMO. The red phone reminds me of a 1960’s sports car. I am not surprised this color is winning the poll.
Coral: The color you have to see in person! Some say this phone is peach, others say it is salmon. Either way it’s beautiful and I would not call it pink as it is a bit too orange at certain angles. However, the aluminum edges do seem to lean more “rose gold.” This is the color my fiancé plans to buy when she’s ready to upgrade. I think this phone would look great in a clear case with black accents like the Otterbox Statement. Apple hit it out of the park with this one.
Yellow: I almost went with yellow since I think it looks the best on Apple’s website. I also think this phone comes in the nicest looking box — those yellow and gold accents look really nice against the white. Seeing the phone in person though, it didn’t live up to my expectations. It’s a little more taxi yellow where I would have preferred a “softer” yellow. I still think it’s a great looking phone that will definitely stand out, but I felt I might get bored with this color after a while. Many people don’t like the gold aluminum edges on it, but I think it classes the phone up.
Blue: I ended up going with blue because I think it splits the difference between low-profile and standing out. It has more personality than black or white, but it’s not to the far side of the spectrum that we see with Coral or Yellow. I would call this shade “electric blue.” I don’t think it’s sky blue (although the aluminum edges are) —it’s a bit deeper and bolder — almost like Twitter homepage blue. It’s calming and satisfying yet still has a point of view. Looks great in my Otterbox Statement case.
You can’t go wrong with these colors, and at one point or another I ended up considering each one. My advice is to go with the one you find the most fun with a clear case. If the novelty wears off, you can always throw a black or colored case on it to change it up.
I wish Apple would release Apple-brand cases for these gorgeous devices!
