Anyone else have a hard time deciding on what color they wanted? It was a hard decision for me because we don't have any real life photos/videos of each colors to see what they are actually going to look like. I initially wanted the Pacific blue but played it safe and went with graphite. I woke up this morning thinking I should of went with Pacific Blue. Now I'm thinking about ordering one and wait till I can see them in them in real life or online then return the one I don't like.

I have a (Product)RED iPhone XR and really like it[*]. I was going to go for the (Product)RED iPhone 12 but then I saw the GMA Hands On with the iPhone 12 and realised the Blue is really nice too while the images on the Apple site of the (Product)RED make it seem slightly paler than previously. Swapped my pre-pre-order favourite to blue and then when pre-orders opened snapped up the blue for 23/10 delivery. Hope I don't regret it but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we'll see.

* only reason I am upgrading is because it's a work device and for cost reasons they only got me a 64GB. Fine up to recently but struggling now so jumped to the 128GB iPhone 12.

I went with Blue because I haven't had a Blue iPhone before. Though I've had a blue case :)

I had a gold 6, and my current main phone is the Green 11. I've had silver, white, black through the years.
 
It really sucked not having the hands-on pictures/videos from the media. Sounds like we won’t see reviews posted until Tuesday.

Exactly. They should sent some out for them to review afterwards the live event.

Or had some of their people do some hands on videos. Even the event itself had such little actual footage of the devices. It was mostly specs and super fancy renders. But maybe this is part of their strategy this year to create buzz and build anticipation.

Or they just didn't care, because initial shipments will sell out anyway ;)
