It means a specific combination of colors and while the term isn't an Apple creation it is about as pretentious sounding as a flavor profile in foods.
Oh, I know what it means. Your point that it sounds pretentious is about how I feel towards it. It's kind of like when the term "synergy" was being thrown around in every other middle management meeting I had to attend several years back. Someone hears it and wants to sound important so they have to squeeze it in every chance they get.

Getting back to the point of the thread though, I tend to get a blue phone if it's available when I buy. I currently have a 16 in ultramarine, but the iPhone 12 blue was my all time favorite color on a phone. Oddly enough for me though, I've thought about getting whatever color is closest to just plain silver when the time comes for a new phone. Probably around the iPhone 19 or 20 release. Doesn't matter much when they're in a case though. I'm not brave enough to go without a case on anything but my work phone.
 
Wish they would do red, that’s my favourite colour. They have only ever done red on the SE models I believe, never on the Pros.

Please bring back the green.

Agreed x1000! Why they don’t bring back the midnight green color of the iPhone Pro 11 is beyond me. It was the best color they’ve ever done on a pro device.
 
Am I the only one that cares that the data in the article doesn't match the headline claim that there are 15 colors?

Depends on whether the whites and blacks will be the same. The source already states that the light blues are different, and that the Air white will be colder than the regular white. At least the regular black is usually also different from the Pro black.

Between the 17, Air, and Pro there are 15 colors. Even though they list the same color between models, it looks like each will have a different shade (making 15).

The article indicates that the Pro and Pro Max have the exact identical colors.
 
but the iPhone 12 blue was my all time favorite color on a phone.

Typing this on a 12 Mini in blue and it’s a beautiful phone. Probably my fave Apple design ever.

The 13 lineup had some standouts too. They kinda lost me with the aesthetic choices on the 14/15/16.

A very vocal minority has been demanding more colors for the iPhone Pro models. It kind of reminds me of a grandma complaining that a young man’s pants are too wrinkled because they’re not ironed flat like in the 1950s. Sure, let’s listen to them and bring candy colors to the iPhone Pro lineup. A foldable iPhone, Apple Intelligence that will never be finished, iOS 26, and now this.
I am not sure how long you have been following Apple but there is a 0.000000000001% chance that Apple is listening to a "vocal minority" when it comes to color selection. Apple is a TRILLION dollar company and have one of the most, if not THE most valuable brand on the planet. They make choices in the direction they think best suites the brand using millions of data points and teams of design, marketing, medical staff, and psychologists weighing in. They may make a wrong choice, but it certainly isn't because of a vocal minority.
 
I'm not even sure why we care about colors at all? From the front you don't see it, if you have a case you don't see it. So who is looking at the back of their naked phone?
I am sure I am in the minority, but I don't put a case on my phones. So I would constantly see it. I also have a lot of friends who have a range of cases that go from showing a good chunk of the phone due to their design or shows the entire thing because they are clear.

We are finally getting some color back in the pro line. I really dislike the 15-16 series. They are sooo incredibly boring.

Ah, I stand corrected.
LOL, you actually had me nodding my head for a moment but then I was like "wait, I just ordered an Air for my sister and we debated between the two colors"

🤦🏻‍♂️ I mean WTF though right??? What is the point of having both?!?!??


EDIT: For clarity we were NOT debating between silver and starlight 🤣, it was between starlight and sky blue, and she went with the blue
