Would have LOVED this color back in September. Definitely would have chose this over the Sierra Blue.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Unveils New iPhone 13 'Green' and iPhone 13 Pro 'Alpine Green' Colors

NGL that Alpine Green is lush and I’m usually not a fan of green in general.
I miss mine too, Alpine Green would've been my pick over Sierra Blue with 13PM if it had been available.
The occasional trend of Apple releasing new color options for existing phones is honestly a bit annoying. Why add that 6 months into the product’s life cycle when most users who were looking to upgrade already have? A look at the general comments about it shows a lot of folks would have rather had that color all along. It kinda sets a bad precedent to wait to upgrade in case you can get a better color option that should have been available all along.
I’ve wanted another green iPhone since the 11 Pro, but I’m sure they’ll phase it out for a new color with the 14. First world problem, for sure, but still.

It is so annoying that Apple bring a new pretty colour late to the game instead of launch day.
The purple last year was beautiful.
This green is also beautiful.
Perhaps Apple really want us not to buy on launch day? 🤔

I dunno, since I am from Europe and there are war news all around the clock here, the army green seems like an unlucky timing.
I didn't even choose Sierra Blue, went with Graphite. The stock photos is all we had with S.B. and I just didn't like the way it looked. It was MUCH nicer seeing it in person though I admit.
If this Alpine Green was a choice in Sept., no question I would have gone with that color.
Not that they probably care, but I at least went to the Apple feedback page and let them know it was a bit of a slap in the face for early adopters to not have that color available at launch, and could potentially deter people from being an early adopter in the future. Even if there is a production issue to blame (white iPhone 4 flashbacks anyone?) you can at least announce it will be available for order “soon.”
Tim Cook could come to my front door and tell me it was production issues and I wouldn't believe it lol
This is definitely a way to get some new attention to the iPhone 13 line after buzz has faded a bit and other new flagships have arrived. Crazy enough, it works.
I mean, if history repeats itself, we are just 6 months away from both the iPhone 13 Pro's - alpine green included - being discontinued altogether.
It's a really annoying tactic IMO.
Jonny and the design team must’ve really been burning the midnight oil to come up with such an incredible innovation
I still prefer my sierra blue 13 pro, but the new green looks really cool.
I can see people upset about that, at least for the pro line all the colors should be available at day one as the pro line is usually discontinued after 12 months, so only 6 months for this new green. It sucks to have bought another model a few months ago if you're a big fan of green.

Love the ‘forest’ green! ?
Will probably upgrade from my blue 12 mini to the green 13 mini later this year ?

Agreed on wanting them at launch. I can’t see the new color making a significant impact on sales this late in the product cycle though. It seems to just have made a lot of current owners annoyed lol
I think I will buy my next iPhone during the Spring release next time. More fun that way. GOne are the days where I need to have the latest phone release first day.
This trend is reaaaaalllly pissing me off. What I wouldn't do to be able to afford just swapping my Sierra Blue for that beautiful green! I loved my Midnight Green 11 Pro!
Glad my iUP program delays me. I think I’ll get that Alpine Green and watch everyone complain about the “hole + pill” design on the 14.
It’s definitely on the Pro Max too. I’ve saved it to my favorites in the store.
