Hear me out,

I have a green iPhone 11 Pro Max and it has a sort of cult-like following. I love this color and I think there’s many people who do too.

I know it’s a silly reason not to upgrade, but since Apple hasn’t made another green one I’ve been sticking with it.

I know eventually I will have to upgrade but just want to enjoy the green as long as I can. Maybe in the future they will release green again.
 
I love midnight green, but this sierra blue is the ****!! You need to upgrade!!!

I really liked my Midnight Green 11pro max but as I upgrade every year I ended up going for the Pacific Blue last year. The blue colour really surprised me and it quickly became my “new” favourite colour. This year I was very underwhelmed with the options available so I went for the Silver. The silver does look clean and fresh so I am happy with my choice. Hopefully with the 14promax they will bring back that green! 🙌
 
To the OP, whatever works for you.

I have never been one to pick the trendy Pro model having selected Space Gray for my 12 Pro Max and Graphite for my 13 Pro Max. I realize that that they are just different shades of the same color. Resale or trade-in value came across as a consideration. It may not affect it at all but that's why I chose a neutral color.

yeah I do miss the color of my old green 11 pro Max but as many have said Sierra blue is amazing. Though Green will always be my favorite color

I personally think the sierra blue is the best colour we’ve had so far on an iPhone. It’s stunning.

Neutral colors have often been my go-to as well. I feel like you can't go wrong with gray. It's a great color on a great phone. You take it anywhere and it just works well.

I actually ordered the gray version and paid for it. When I went to go to the store to pick it up, I saw the green and fell in love. I just love this color lol. I thought at the time that green would be a new addition to the lineup and was bummed when they switched to the pacific color.

It's no big deal. These are 1st world problems as they say. I might just stick with the green for now. The phone works great. No issues. Battery isn't AS good as before but that's to be expected. Still works good enough. I also have accessories such as a battery case, so if I upgraded not sure what I'd do with all the cases.
 
That’s how I feel about my 11 Pro Max Graphite…

That is the color I originally ordered. It is lovely. But when I went to the store I saw the green and just fell in love on the spot. The Apple guy knew it and helped me out. He was able to get me the green and they did whatever to switch me out. I'm guessing a return and re-purchase.
 
At first I was giggling about this thread and then I remembered that, oh, yeah, when I got around to buying my iPhone 12 Pro this past May 2021 I went for the Graphite specifically because it matches the new car that I bought in October of 2020..... LOL!!! Whatever tickles your fancy, makes you smile, soothes your soul, eh?
 
I had the 11PM in Midnight Green and TBH the sierra blue color of this year beats it easily for me. I love how depending on certain lighting it could look either silver/blue-ish silver and it’s amazing. Does not look pastel blue like the marketing pics would lead you to believe.
