iPhone 11 Pro Anyone exchange/return their Midnight Green iPhone?

I really like MG, always used silver/white in past and was ready for change. As others have said, the 3 cameras stand out a bit too much for my taste on lighter colors.

I never buy the fad colors.

Silver, gray, or gold only. Silver gives the best contrast with the rear cameras.

White was the fad color with the iPhone 4 and is pretty close to silver. Gold was the fad color with the iPhone 6. I get what you’re saying though. Midnight green is a fad color this year but it might be a normal color in a few years.
 
Done space grey, rose gold, matte black, silver, gold & now the green; in that particular order since iPhone 6. I tend to gravitate towards the new colour; hopefully midnight/navy blue will be in the mix next year.

I think we may have different definitions of "fad."

Black and white/silver are universal colors. They can't be fads because they will be popular forever. Gold is a universal metallic color. Who doesn't recognize gold? Most men and women around the world don't mind carrying a gold iPhone or wearing gold jewelry.

Midnight green? I don't think it has any chance of being a long term color.

Tbh... MG seems like some stuff Apple came up with by asking manufacturing "hey what is the easiest way to get a new color out SG"

Then manufacturing told them "oh, just put in a lil green stuff". And everyone has eaten it up accordingly. SMDH.

I originally purchased SG but after doing in store pickup and seeing MG, I decided to exchange for MG. Really like how it looks in person compared to pictures.

I exchanged my Midnight Green 11 Pro Max for a Silver 11 Pro and am very happy with my decision. I like to alternate cases so this was the big part in deciding on the Silver.

I loooooove silver model. It looks more white than silver, IMO, and I think that’s why I like it. It’s just so purrrrty. Ended up getting a clear protective case so I don’t hide the color.

I was on the fence about the green. I have been a gold girl the last few phones. But if I can be honest, the three lens housing triggers my trypophobia (yes it’s an annoyingly real thing) so I opted for a dark color to conceal the way that looks and it’s doing a good job. The green is almost blue to black or dark gray in different lighting so it’s very cool! As far as cases, I’m finding most look fine with it! Then again, I’m a little artsy and don’t mind colors clashing or being off. Here is the case I keep on mine. Shows the green nicely through the clear, has sparkles (of course haha) and cute flowers. But don’t get me wrong, this color is NOT girly. In fact most guys I know also got the same color and they love it. OP, the silver will be amazing so enjoy!

This is how I would dress up the MG iPhone as well. I love clear cases with designs. Bless Amazon.

The huge 3 cameras this year is way too tacky especially on the lighter colors, so I went for the MG color. You get the best of both black color in certain angles along with green. I usually go for the white as it looks best for clear cases that I like, but like I've stated, the 3 cameras are too tacky with the silver & gold this year.

I’m of the opposite opinion to you. I like that the light colours enhance the three camera lenses (but then I’m not someone who hates them).

I think that’s why I dislike the silver: I really don’t like white phones, hated the white bezels on the older iPhones.
 
My history.....

4S white
5 space grey
5s gold (first gold)
6+/6 gold
6s gold
7 gold
X silver
XS Max gold

So with that said...I do love my gold iPhones. Went midnight green with Pro Max. Its a keeper. Done deal. To me this is different.
 
Switched from green to silver for me. Green looked dull and boring after a few days for me. Couldn’t see myself liking the colour long term.

can you take a pic of the silver please? I’m worried it’s a bit feminine/ whitish

It's a very whitish silver. I don't see how that translates to "feminine," but my guess is that it's not what you're after. There are tons of pics in threads on this site.
 
I must say the only thing I really dislike about MG is the great cases that don't fit it as good as the SG (you can always see the green in the camera cutout), since 95% of them did not adapt to the new color this year. IMHO clear cases are the only good solution, as you want to show of that beauty!

Especially Spigen and others got a bit lazy this year.

Other than that, I really like the MG, even though I always bought the SG since my very first iPhone.

Could be that the MG was an unexpected color. I don’t recall any rumors on a new Pro color. They received dimensions, but not colors.

Maybe give it another month. There’s never a huge choice of cases immediately after launch, but I notice over time, more good choices appear.

Wow, trypophobia must be real. I have no problem looking at the iPhone 11 cameras but after google imaging trypophobia, I find some of those images to be a little disturbing.

i remember reading somewhere in the forum that someone who lived/worked nearby apple saw workers with a green phone. this was a month or two before the announcement too. i think there have been whispers around it for a while but nothing made any real noise
 
Have the MG. Love it. Put a super thin smoke case on it and now I have smoke-green.

I believe it. I meant that I didn’t see anything published by Macrumors or any other sites on a new Pro color. My thought is that the case manufacturers were most likely given dimensions, not dimensions and colors.

It’s like last year with the Gold color being different from previous years. Lots of tone mismatches on the Watch and iPhone for a while. Again, just my guess, could be wrong.
