No black is a travesty, baby ****ing blue? Seriously? No black pro models but you can get black on the base 13. Pathetic.

Edit to add, I don’t mind the blue, the more colors the better! But Black phones have always looked the best, the iPhone 7 was the last true black we had, and people went absolutely bonkers over jet black. Why would they not let us have a black color for the pros? And with all this hullabaloo over “cinematic video”, and portraying this phone as something you can make professional films with, not having a black version is ridiculous. Has anyone ever seen a baby blue camera on a set? I haven’t. On sets you do see a lot of black though, black cameras, black lighting, black everything, black gaffe tape, I’ve never seen a shiny baby blue camera on any set anywhere. It’s almost like Apple lives in a Barbie world.
I’d rather live in a barbie world shooting quick videos with a baby blue phone than on a movie set pretending that a black phone camera is “pro” enough to fit in 😃

“Pro” is just marketing. Katheryn Bigelow must have been short on money for having to endorse a phone camera like she did.
 
if they were really trying to trigger my nostalgia for my 4s, they should have made a glossy black front and back with the silver side rails.

Or they could just make a black phone and also keep the Barbie phone around for people that like that sort of thing. Makes you wonder what Apple has against black phones…
 
Blue might have the BEST resale value, it looks like the most popular.

Why would it have the best resale value? The blue is popular this year because it is a new colour and shows that you have the latest iPhone. The next year, assuming it is discontinued, it will be a dated colour showing people that you have an older iPhone. That hurts resale value. If I were buying a used iPhone, I’d rather buy a timeless colour like silver or graphite that doesn’t advertise the age of the phone.
 
I really like my blue 13 Pro. I chose between the blue or the silver, coming from a gold XS. I enjoy colours to break of from the ordinary drab schemes. Since I keep my phone naked I get to enjoy it all too!
