Apple Launches New iPhone XS Case and Apple Watch Band Color Options

[M1905]

WTF Apple....

Release the Silicone and Leather Case for the XR and not more for XS and Max...

Take my Money....
We are waiting....

I wonder why the lack of XR cases. Seems like an easy quick buck for Apple, without much effort, especially since the XR is the best selling model this year.

I agree. It's REALLY odd. You have to think that maybe it's some sort of a production issue. Makes no sense not to have cases for it. Wasn't there a rumor about a clear case?

So, anecdote but when first buying (a London store) and then exchanging my XR (Norwich, England) I observed a number (it was 4 or 5) people speak to Apple staff about the XR all of them chose to not buy the device when they learned there was no official case and were instead directed to that train wreck Otterbox case.

Myself, I very nearly didn't purchase the XR due to the lack of official case as was expecting to return it for the final time if the cheap Amazon case I bought was unsatisfactory. Quite happy with the £9 case - more unhappy that if I'd waited a month, you can get the XR in the UK for about £200 less than I paid*).

*Odd topic - but this is why Steve didn't do discounts: buyers' remorse.

from the picture, it looks like my dark teal band. wo0nder what those to side by side would be. I ordered the teal nike band

I can lay it out with Midnight Blue, Cosmo Blue, Blue Horizon, and Black if that helps.

Very off-putting colors. Please just bring Spicy Orange back.

THIS. Almost. Keep new stuff, but bring back Spicy Orange. AND NOTIFY ME SO IT'S NOT SOLD OUT IN LIKE AN HOUR.

I have been wanting pacific green since I got my watch. I will hold out a few weeks to see if it appears on Amazon.

Still holding my breath for an ultraviolet re-release.

Yup.. Spicy Orange and ultraviolet.. 2 best colors in my opinion.

The brown bands look absolutely hideous.

People wondering why the XR isn't getting cases. My guess is because the phone itself is coloured and designed to almost 'look' like a case. Maybe that's why????

Hmm, not a good reason, imho. Regardless of color, I've never been able to use any iPhone w/o a case, one that includes a.) some texture and b.) a lip around the screen edge for setting the phone face down.

(Since Apple doesn't want to sell me one this time, I went with a Nomad leather case. Recommended!)

Love the colors. As with the new gold option with the Apple Watch, it seems Apple finally hired someone who is not color blind and has taste. ...remember the nauseating sherbert color scheme for iOS 7? Bleh. The pink and salmon colors that they called “gold” Bhehh

Good on Apple.

Now i just have to wait until the knock-offs of these colors hit Amazon

I want to see the return of “Dark Olive”. This was easily one of Apple’s most stylish silicone cases for the iPhone X. Please bring it back Apple!

I think its because they knew how big the side bezels would look on it

To say those colors are unappealing is a serious exercise of understatement.

I'll grab an Olive flak sport loop once the knockoffs hit amazon.
