Other After seeing pics, I regret getting Midnight Green. The more I see it in photos and videos, the more I ha*e it.

Even worse, there's people dying without having anything to eat and you cry over a colour you choose for your $1.200 phone.
You are absolutely correct! The green will be almost indistinguishable from the space grey from a distance and even up closer with any sort of case on it. Worse, the three identifying cameras will most certainly blend into the background of the camera bump at a distance. You will find yourself with a phone that most might mistake for for an Xs, or gasp, an X.
In summary:
In summary:
Make up your own mind. You shouldn't need to ask the internet for what color you prefer. Can no one think for themselves anymore?!
He did. The OP is asking if he should stick with MG or go with Silver.
Not sure you did, actually
. He clearly asks whether or not he should keep the green or switch.
I don’t think he is though. I think the thread is simply bemoaning his/her regret—not asking for input on which to choose.
Not sure you did, actually
Where?

The purpose of this thread is to express regret and help others avoid making the same mistake.
And also, like I said earlier, now I can’t decide whether I should order my all-time favorite Silver and accept the fact that I’ll have to wait longer or just live with Dull Green.

I’m not going to criticize you because my God there are enough people doing that already.
If I were you, I’d get the silver. I totally get what you are saying about having given into the hype, and regardless of what people say, there are definitely people who chose green just to be noticed as having the latest phone (even though the cameras should be enough for that, but whatever). Obviously there are plenty who genuinely like the color, too.
Just do what makes you happy.
All joking aside, given you do not live near an Apple store which rules out the chance of getting a launch-day phone in store, you have the following considerations:
- Look at the green once you have it in hand to see if your opinion changes. Stressing now about it won't help. You could see it in person and love it. It is by FAR the most popular color of the launch and will absolutely garner the attention you are seeking.
- If you hate the green, and knowing only white/silver will make you happy, you can ship back the green phone (or even refuse delivery) and order the color you want. But this will require patience as the ship date has slipped to the week of 10/8 - 10/15.
- If you live near a carrier store, you could go to the carrier store on Friday and try to get one before they sell out.
Those are your options. If it was me? I would do what I had to do to get the color that made me the happiest. Even if that meant having to wait. 2-3 weeks is nothing when compared to 12-36 months of hating the phone I was using.
What's with the massive font? I quoted the post where he asks it below. Can't figure out how to multi-quote post or what not.
plot twist.. he actually wants the midnight green and by complaining that it doesn't have the appeal then he can have it all to himself...lol
Not sure.
Looks like we’re both “right” about the OP though. I’m not sure we can know what he wants because even he doesn’t know!!!
They are not criticizing him for choosing a colour based on hype, but due to the fact that the OP wrote and I quote "how am I supposed to show off that I have the newest iPhone if the colour looks dull and unrecognizable".
He edited it afterwards.
Billions of people have prayed today that they would have food to eat for their children and themselves, sorry but I cannot sympathize with your "dilemma"
The OP does know. He wants whatever attracts the most attention and helps people notice he has the 'latest and greatest' gadget.
Midnight green would actually accomplish that, ironically.
Ahh, yes, the internet, when it comes down to debating the most minuscule things between ‘Dull green v.s. midnight green.’
Here’s a reality check:
If Someone can’t even properly/appropriately address the name of the iPhone color as Apple intended it, but yet they call it ‘Dull-green’, how does anyone take this thread seriously?

The problem with Green is that it hardly looks Green. The three cameras are far more likely to get noticed than the Dull Green.
How about you just get green shirts and hats screen printed that tell everyone you have and are using the newest iPhone?
Do they sell stickers you could attach to the back of the phone? For example, a huge sticker that says 11 Pro, or something? That could attract some eyes to let people know you've got the latest phone. Or are you wanting to keep it in stock condition?
