I went into the Apple store today and was kinda impressed with Pacific Blue. The Gold and band is the nicest looking but with a case on, does it really matter?! i guess that can be said for all colors. But i think i am going back to Space Gray/Graphite, that looked so good! Anybody changed your mind after actually seeing them in hand? It makes a big differnce, i would go see them in hand before making your decision!
Got a tip for us?

My pacific blue was delivered by FedEx within the past 30 minutes. It is as awesome as I expected. Transfer from Baby Blue XR is in progress.
My pacific blue 12 Pro changes colors depending on the light. It can look teal to pure blue. I like it a lot but I think all the colors have something going for them this year. I didn’t feel that way looking at leaked renders, but real photographs have been more flattering and informative.
The blue on the 12 is also capable of showing a range of different looks from what I’ve seen of photos so far.
I was very excited about the gold but after I seeing them in person at the apple store, the gold looks almost copper in certain lights. It’s gorgeous don’t get me wrong, if I didn’t have options I’d get it no questions. The pacific blue is blah, I have nothing to say about it. The graphite is sharp and edgy, you can’t go wrong with it, but too dark for me
I’m going to order the silver Max. I couldn’t stop looking at it as soon as i walked in. The white just pops. I’ve made my decision.
And I think the reviews saying that side bands are fingerprint magnets are a little exaggeration. The iphones at rhe apple store didn’t show them too much, I had to actually look for the fingerprints, and are easily wiped off.

I’m getting the silver max. First max iPhone for me. My significant other got the Pacific Blue. I think it’s really sharp! Silver just always looks futuristic to me. I think of it as the color Captain Picard would have 🙄

i think pacific blue is only on the Pro models.The regular 12 is more of a blue blue, but i do think the regualr 12 blue is better!My pacific blue was delivered by FedEx within the past 30 minutes. It is as awesome as I expected. Transfer from Baby Blue XR is in progress.
so i got silver on the 10s max and 10. This year looks great with the band but the back looked more white. I didnt see any silver to it, except the band. But they all look really good. If the back of the Gold wasn't to blah i would be more inclinded to getting it. Never had a Gold before.
Pictures or videos don’t really tell the real story of the color. You have to see it in person to really get it.
I think the blue is hideous, but it’s the new color so people will talk themselves into it similar to the midnight green last year. I mean that’s the only way people know you have the new iPhone lol.
Thankfully Midnight Green went away and im sure the blue will go away next year as well.

I liked the green, I actually have the 11pm in that color, just different after so many years of space gray and silver.
I agree with Renho that the blue looks better in person. Less green than online. Will win over a lot of people who see it in person. But I still think it goes the way of midnight green, just a passing fad.
So people can’t disagree with you and have their own opinion. They can only talk themselves into it.
Got it. 👍🏼🙄🙄
I would have preferred the 12 shade of blue in the 12 Pro. After seeing it in person this past weekend, it’s not as bad as some online videos made it to be. However Pacific Blue isn’t too shabby either. I’ll stick with my Pacific Blue 12 Pro.
So, the sides of the phone have a greenish tint, and the glass on the camera bump has a greenish, teal-ish look. But the frosted glass on the back of the phone just looks blue. I think it is a really nice combo. I hated the Midnight Green last year, but this is very attractive...

i mean if a color changes after a year, i would assume this is the color they play with year to year.....
what do you think it will be next? would love a win red maybe
I am ordering a Pacific Blue and Gold 128GB iPhone 12 Pro Max. I am planning on putting a clear film on the Pacific Blue. This will keep the phone from getting scratched up while not showing finger prints. Looking forward to ordering both phones on 11/6.
I know me too. I can’t decide. I haven’t had a dark colored iPhone really in a long time. Current phone is a gold xs max. iPhone 8, & 7 were white. I don’t remember what color I got the 6 and 6 Los. Probably dark silver. Ugh I didn’t get the black 7 which was neat at the time. The blue 12 pro max would look unique and Apple will likely discontinue the color next year.
The silver iPhone 12 max looks great, so does the graphite and blue. All look very classy. It’s a phone I’ll keep for two years so it’s like buying a car with a nor color you’ll stick with. Hmmmmm
This blue is my favorite color. It probably will go away, but I’m not getting the Pro Max in Pacific blue just for the color, lol.
Time for a change. Just remember, you won’t ever see the color just the color of the case! Hahs
