I really wanted the Navy blue from the leaks but this just isn't it. The Gold though looks hella sexy so I've pre-ordered the 12 pro in Gold.
I got an 11 pro gold, none of that happens at all. Looks great still a year later and i don't use cases/screen protectors.
I wish Apple would make a true black model that actually looks like it does in the product marketing video below. I have the Space Grey iPhone 11 Pro and I don't really like it. Grant I am severely colorblind, but this frosted grey almost looks brownish to me (same with iPhone 8) and I don' like. The raw silver just scratched so easily that I wanted the PVC coding.
Rather than this:
I still cannot decide between Graphite and Blue.

What I totally expect, perhaps with every phone color, not just Silver & the shiny stainless steel flat sides.
Scratching. (Like the X, like Stainless Steel Apple Watches), I just recall that from this forum back in Nov-Dec 2018.
It's just simply inevitable and unavoidable. Perhaps if you go with the case, maybe find some kind of clear protective "film" for the sides if you want to keep these looking flawless as possible.
As long I don't see a scratch out of the box - like some did when they got the iPhone X - I'm fine.
My silver iPhone XS was horribly scratched within 2 months with a case. My space grey iPhone 11 Pro is near perfect a year later never in a case. the non-natural stainless steels get treated with a special coating that greatly increases hardness. Assuming that process is the same for graphite, pacific blue and gold, it won't be an issue.
I like new colors. Green last year. Pacific Blue this year. Gold on the 6 years ago (new to me). I haven't done Red yet. Though the case on my black 7+ is red.
I suspect since they changed the name, and since they introduced a graphite watch, the graphite, or black model is going to be lighter than the space grey model from last year.
On the 4, I used the free bumper case, so could see the phone. I've had clear cases several times, such as the gold 6, the 11 (green), and now the 12 Pro (PB). Maybe I should have ordered the $49 apple clear case, but I got a $14 clear case on Amazon instead. No magsafe devices.
I ended up going Pacific blue. But I liked them all about the same, except for graphite. I don’t think graphite is bad, but because I would have preferred a deep true black, I worried I might end up dissatisfied with it. I haven’t had a blue iPhone, yet, not even an Xr. So I may as well try something new. I’ve had variations of the other colors already.
It all ended up being a last minute choice because I originally was thinking of getting a mini. I changed that plan for a few reasons. I wish the Pro line offered a Product Red choice.

I decided on Pacific Blue. I went with Midnight Green last year and it was refreshing after having Black phones for the past 11 years, so I decided to do it again.
I have wished this for years. I would love a red phone, but they always limit the fun colours as well as product red to the lower lines.
Same here, the struggle is real!
I'm heading to the Apple store, or maybe Best Buy on Friday to see it in person - both colors. Thankfully I'm waiting for the Pro Max..I'll decide after I see them.
I’m coming from a gold XS which is one of the best looking iPhones I have ever had. I almost went silver but decided on the blue flavored pro.
I wish I could keep the gold XS as a collectible though, that thing is a work of art.

Those stainless-steel scratches are very easy to remove by using a soft buffer machine and some stainless steel polish. I have an old iPhone X lying around, and it looks still like a new and has a scratch-free silver ring.
That's why Silver 12 Pro could be a good choice.
They look pretty much identical to me.
Silver 12 Pro will have PVD coating this year, which means the polishing trick won't work.
I like really bold colors and apple just doesn't seem to do bold for their pro line. The gold this year is rather bold which is why I think I chose it. (That, and I just got a new gold Apple Watch so matchy-matchy)
I really like the Pacific Blue. To me the blue/green mix makes it more interesting. But I’ll likely get the silver. It’s just what I like.
