Apple Updates Online Store With New Watch Bands, Silicone Cases for iPhone 11 Pro, and Sony's DualShock 4

Dislcaimer: I side graded from the iPhone XS to the 11. Apple won’t make colorful cases let alone leather products for the iPhone 11 because he 11 is for the “poors” and the poors don’t get colorful things.

Well, except for the actual colors of the phones....

Yeah but also worth noting the 11 only has basic black and white, with the whole palette of Silicone colours and leather cases altogether locked out exclusively for Pro users, which has now received even more choice.

The non-first-year-of-release phones tend to only get a severely limited (and boring) set of colors (and SKUs) - for the iPhone 8 it's Black, White, Pink Sand (not far off white), Midnight Blue (close to black), and Red (I'd argue that Red is the only "real" color there).

Apple seems to think that since the XR and 11 have body colors, nobody will want to put them in cases. Which is why they only belatedly did the clear case for the XR (a neat concept, but substantially different from Apple's silicone cases in grip, potentially protection, and ease of removal). The lack of a silicone case was a big factor for me in getting the 8 instead of the XR. Now, they've at least done silicone cases for the 11 (do they fit the XR as well?). Yes, only in Black and White. It's... progress. I strongly suspect they're not going to do leather cases for the 11. I think they only begrudgingly did any silicone cases.
