I was going to go silver again this year (went space gray last year after several years of white/silver), but when they announced the blue I had to go that direction. It does feel like everyone and their brother ordered blue though, but that's all right. I just got mine and I love it. No remorse here. And I don't use a case, so I'll be enjoying the blue daily for the next year!
 
I guess you could say I had remorse. I pre-ordered a silver Pro to pick up at my local Apple Store. Once I saw all the colours in person, I found I liked the blue much more than the silver. The white back of the silver Pro just looks a bit plain to me. Luckily they had blue available, so I swapped to that. After nearly 24 hours with it, I’m very happy with my decision.

I’m waiting for pro max preorders, but I initially had my eye on the blue and can’t decide between the silver or gold now. I went to a Best Buy this afternoon to hopefully see them in person to help me choose, but they did not have the phones on display yet. I’ll have to try again later this week.
 
I am sitting here with the Pacific Blue and the Graphite and can't decide which one I am keeping.

I've got the Pacific blue and thinking I want the Graphite so thinking of going all in and getting the iPhone pro max in graphite.

I got 2 weeks to decide.

Anybody get a Silver 12 Pro that had a silver XS that can tell me the color difference?

I have a silver X, and I like the white back on it. I think it might be the matte finish that made me not like the white back on the silver 12 Pro. It just didn’t “wow” me like the pacific blue and graphite did.

So you bought both and opened them up just to decide which color you wanted? Just curious.

Nope. I bought them both and only opened the pacific blue because that was my first choice. I liked it so much that I never opened the graphite one and will be returning it tomorrow.
 
Just finished setting up my graphite 12 pro. My delivery was set for 11/12 - 11/19 and I woke up crazy early for some reason so I decided I’d go check out the Verizon store up the street. Got there 2 minutes before the doors opened and was third in line.

My top choice was split between blue and graphite and when I walked in they said they had blue and graphite in stock. Great. Their phones are so locked down that you basically have to turn your head and slide up underneath the three inches of give on the security cables so I couldn’t get a great angle on either of them.

I was trading in a gray 11 Pro so I figured I’d just play it safe and go with the graphite to avoid the possibility of regretting the blue choice and having to pay the $50 restocking fee (on top of their “upgrade fee” which covers the labors of me moving my SIM into the new phone).

Overall impression is that it’s a very sharp looking device. I definitely feel the size increase coming from the 11 Pro but I’m sure I’ll get used to that soon. As long as I focus on the screen the fingerprints shouldn’t bother me but there is an ever so slight chance I’ll end up getting a case for it *shudders*.

So what difference do you notice v your 11 pro, same weight just bit taller? Screen bigger? etc..
 
I was a hair close to pulling the trigger on the Pacific Blue. I forced myself to go in person and wound up getting the graphite.

While the PB is nice, it’s just too much color for the size. What I like about the graphite is that it’s almost in between the old space gray and new silver. Can’t go wrong.

I know I’ll get sick of the PB after the novelty wears off. Almost like a “gotcha” color.

I wanted the pacific blue at first but since there was no real life photos before pre order I played it safe and got the graphite. It came today and couldn't be happier. It was the look I was hoping for. Like a matte grey Mercedes.

I went with the gold on my 12 Pro and am absolutely amazed with it. Much like someone else commented, it’s a shame I have it covered up with a case. I’m looking at picking up either a clear bumper or a case so I can show it off.

I got the silver pro. I used to get silver/white until I switched to red with the X. But now I’m thinking I should have went with graphite. The white back of the silver just looks kinda plain. You can’t really see the Apple logo, so it doesnt really break up the mass of white.
 
I got Pacific Blue and I have absolutely no regrets. I thought I might not like it as much as the regular 12 blue but seeing it in person, I love it. Throwing a clear case on it tomorrow (which is when the case is supposed to show up) and calling it done.
