Apple Launches New Spring Colors for iPhone Cases and Apple Watch Bands

[Delorean2006]

Ordered both blue cases, silicone and leather, wanna see them in person and return the one I don’t like.

oh man, i was hoping for a more kiwi green, this one is too pastel.

I think it would be more innovative if they would add some emoji's on the watch bands, apple would come full circle with it's innovation.

 

[Halfsnap]

No sense in complaining about it... this has become the norm, and will unfortunately continue as such.

It's still pretty hard for Apple to pass up sales on items with 500% mark up. It's almost like printing your own money.

 

[CmdrLaForge]

I find it strange that there are none for the Xr. Money saved I would say.

Customers like them, and Apple makes money. Why is that unfortunate?

 

[erpetao]

I can't believe they didn't dedicate a whole event to this.

anyone paying apple for bands is crazzzyyy. Chinese knockoffs are identical and a fraction of the price... and really killer looking third party bands can be had to apples prices

None of this is true.

What is the deal with XR cases? The clear plastic looks cheap. I would love a brown leather Apple case.

 

[Arcontia]

Really wish they'd bring the ultra-violet to the new gen. That was definitely my favourite.

Same with me and Electric Blue leather :/ Cornflower looks so dull I even prefer the Cape Cod Blue from fall (and im usually not into fall colours)

I used to get a chuckle out of new watch bands... now this is just ****ing sad.

 

[mrex]

and still no normal leather bands... for men.

 

[cyberlocke]

What kind of world do we live in where “spring colors” for iPhones and Apple watches are considered an important topic of conversation?

I'm sure it makes Apple plenty of money, but it's times like this that I'm a little more than ashamed of the marketing field I work in . . .

 

[danny1305]

Breathtaking innovation.

Who said anything about innovation?? They are simply offering more colors. Smh there is always those lame people that just have to complain about everything

 

[Naraxus]

This is sad

 

[hauntvictim]

Still nothing for XR. Pffffff

NOPE! I highly doubt they will either. Just like as with the Space Grey apple watch they rarely if ever ahd any good matching colors for the longest time. In any case I ended up with third party resellers.

 

[Peperino]

Wow... Apple innovation at its best!

This entire week truly showed how pathetic Apple has become under Tim Cook.

What's next ipod touch and Newton revamp?
No. Wait, they have new Animojis...

I agree there are some great third party bands out there. (Bracelet, leather, etc)

The funny thing is I still haven't found a sport band that comes close to Apple's.
They are either too bulky, thin, sticky.... They fade quickly, etc...

My original sport band is over 3 years old and the thing still looks new and feels like butter.

 

[mac_in_tosh]

I miss the days when Apple Inc. was Apple Computer Inc.

Just a side note: But I think Apple is fairly clever how they choose the naming scheme for the watchbands (i.e Spearmint, Lemondae, Cocoa, etc). The color sells itself, but the name they choose makes it interesting.

Papaya: New innovation from Apple.
Joking aside, they look nice. But I suspect even Apple doesnt know how many colors of wristbands they have made

I thought that and bought some. They fell apart or frayed at the edges. After about 4 I bought an Apple leather one. Has lasted over 2 years now without any scuffing, fraying, color changes, etc. So I don’t think they’re identical at all. Of course everyone has different thresholds for quality. I tend to prefer to buy quality once rather than the false economy of cheap multiple times. Just me, though.

 

[tsarna]

very feminine colors

But there's something about that new blue sport loop. I think the word for that particular shade is Cerulean actually. Cerulean Blue. Cerulean Blue. Cerulean makes me think of a breeze. A gentle breeze. Cerulean is a gentle breeze… Cerulean, a gentle breeze....

 

[QCassidy352]

The retail stores would still have some in stock, other resellers too depending.

For a while, yes. But those classic buckles (which is my all time favorite) are long gone now.
