I went Gold with my Pro 12 Max and will either go Silver (I like the idea of a white back) or Sierra Blue with the 13 Pro Max.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 13 Pro 13 Pro Colors Underwhelming

I went caseless with my 12 and am considering doing the same with my 13.
There is also the clear case option that would show the colors.
Speaking of colours, what is the "Starlight" of the iPhone 13?
I'm trying to decide if it's the same as the "white" iPhone 12. From the official renders, there's not a lot of difference:

There seems to be a slight tinge of gold or champagne based on a few other photos I saw during the keynote.
I was hoping they would tone down the gold/champagneness seeing as there's already a pink/rose gold model.
The iPad mini starlight looks really beige/gold, much more than the iPhone. Their new undefined ‘à la space grey’ colour by the looks of it!
While I was wishing for an actual Black in the Pro, I think I will be going Graphite again. The Blue and Gold don't do it for me and as much as I like the Silver...all of those micro scratches on the bands (even though you can remove most of them) will drive me absolutely insane. I feel like I will spend more time polishing and worrying about it.
I don’t even own a case for my 12 Pro Max. Nor did I own one when I had 11 Pro Max. So to me colors matter, and this year is probably the worst year there has been. Graphite has always been quite ugly shade of gray to me and with the frosted back turning really light gray with any kinda light it gets even worse. Yet this year it’s the only dark(-ish) option there is. Feels really disappointing to give up Pacific Blue which I still enjoy looking at, and replacing it with baby blue or ugly gray.
Pacific Blue does look very different in real life to how it looks in renders though, so maybe hopefully Sierra Blue will end up looking better in real life.

I skipped the 11 pro (from the X) and went with the 12 pro last year. I liked the green a lot but held out another year foolishly thinking the notch / bezels would be smaller. I went with graphite to play it safe but would have went with the green if it was still available.
Color choices now? Underwhelming. I guess they are also playing it safe with these colors as most do go with a case.

I think ALL colors, regular and pro, are underwhelming. There's millions of colors and this is the best they can come up with? Maybe they have defective lighting in their design studios. The last phone that had awesome colors was the 8.
I also find the color choice of iPhone 13 underwhelming.
They look bland and lack personality. For such an expensive device (yes, even the base iPhone 13 is in absolute terms an expensive phone) they don't even look premium.
They just look... generic.

The render looks bad for the 13 blue. But it looked nice in the presentation.
Despite the price and the increase in weight, I would’ve been willing to ignore that if they made that light pink also available in the Pro Max. I literally don’t care about anything else.
wanted to pick up a white/silver phone. will have to see what this starlight looks like. it has a gold/beige look to it and seems meh.
The picture I posted of the 13’s (pro and non-pro) are right off of Apples web site
I go with the clear case my phones so color is important to me. But yeah, If I went with a silicone case….color would be almost irrelevant.
