The picture I posted of the 13’s (pro and non-pro) are right off of Apples web site:)
I think those are still computer generated images and not actual photos. Because it’s kind of rare for the iPhones photographed out in the real world to look like they do on Apple’s site. They look pretty flat on Apple’s own store.
 
I like the new blue
Was hoping for a change from the space grey/graphite hue

All I hope is less finger print magnet on side

I’m a “clear case” guy. To my eye the 13 pro (blue) is a winner in the clear case. The 13 non-pro in blue is just not doing it for me. In the 13 non-pro, the only color option for me is starlight in a clear case. If I go that route, it will be the 13 mini. Else, I’m going for the 13 pro which I think looks terrific in a clear case in either graphite, silver or blue.

Thinking of sticking with Graphite for the pro max. The blue is bit too light for me.
I am leaning the same way. I just hate getting Graphite too many times in a row need to switch it up once and awhile. I guess that’s what cases are for. I was hoping for an actual black pro. While I like the Silver, the raw polished stainless are a no go for me. It really only leaves Graphite.

Pastel Blue sounds like a real throwback. Apple sticking with the same old is new theme introduced with the M1 iMacs. I'll probably just get Space Gray though (oops I meant Graphite, didn't realize they did a throwback on that too).

I agree, I was super disappointed with the new blue color. It’s not horrible and I’m sure those who get the color won’t be disappointed, but for me it’s too pastel. It rememinds me of the pale colors that the non-pros get. I’ve never been a fan of those pastel Easter looking colors.

I ended up going with the gold this year, just wish the rear glass was a little darker shade of gold. Still wish I could get gold with a black rear glass though.
 
My phone lives in a case every day of its life, yet I still agree with you. I would’ve liked the Starlight color of the non-Pro model.

Are you going to use a case?
Still don't understand why product red is never in the pro models....
Because it’s ugly and not premium looking enough.
 
Is the silver a nude finish ? Meaning like my silver XS max was, one easily polish out minor abrasion swirls or mark from it. And do they scratch easier than coated ones ? I think they do as my gold 12PM didn't have any minor marks on it all but the XS max showed micro scratches. Cheers.
 
For the pro price and no ability to open it up or change anything substantial post purchase, how about custom colors? Take a bite in profit to be the “fun” company again
 
The phone colors are awful, I agree.

The silicone cases, silicone watch bands, and leather cases introduced today however... I love the color palette of those, no tacky ultra bright colors. Everything is subdued and pastel, like the colors came from somewhere on Earth and not a color dyeing facility.
 
Does anyone know if the gold is similar than last year? This years renders the back looks more gold’ish than the white we saw last year.
