Apple please make this in a 5.6" formfactor and much less camera bump call it the iPhone Pro Mini and charge 1.5k for it if you want and I'll buy it. But this things just too damn big, it's a girls phone

The color I want is black around the display (remember the ones with the white front with black off-sensor cutouts for every sensor?) and whatever the natural color of the material is so it doesn't look awful when the tiniest ding reveals a very contrasting color.
Sadly that's not an option right now... my black 13 mini never leaves its case but has a little gash from the lightning connector sometimes missing the port when I plug it in. I'd much rather have a finish like the "silver" MacBooks.
 
It would make sense that the invite features a bronze-colored Apple logo.

Oh no this is just 💩 color. Apple can try and give it a special name, but it forever be known as the color 💩.
 
not sure about that colour choice, wouldn't this potentially wear not too well over time
 
I'd much prefer they focus on new textures and finishes rather than playing around with Midnight Poo.
 
If it really looked like on the pic then I don’t even mind. Much worse is the zero improvement from 15 to 16 lineup. Apple really is one of the laziest companies when it comes to upgrades.

Other companies:
100W super charging
Display coating
100x zoom
50mpx across all lenses
5500mah batteries
Fold/Flip
Matured AI features

Apple:
48 ultrawide lens
 
It’s the same damn colors over and over and over and over.

How about a nice rust color?

Always green or blue white black gold
 
Hmm I’m still 50/50 on this one. The leaked images showed something that looked more brown than gold but who knows how old those cases are. We know Apple messed with the color shades right up to the point of starting mass production. If Apple gives us something closer to the rendered image which appears more like a deep gold, I might actually go for it depending on how it looks in real life.

Their previous gold phones have usually stuck closer to a light champagne color (other than the sides and camera rings) so it might be interesting to see them attempt a deeper gold shade. I won’t knock it til I see the final color but I sure do wish they would try a green shade again.
 
Funny how every year the new iPhone color gets roasted like it's a fashion disaster, but give it a month and those same critics will be lining up to show it off like it's the holy grail of design. Apple’s got everyone on a predictable loop, and we keep falling for it. Lol.

How about an ai-generated case for the new steampunk iPhone?

With functioning tools that you could use to survive in the desert or stranded on a deserted island, that would make a lot of sense:

  • Compass
  • Sun Clock
  • Sextant
  • Sandclock
  • Knife
  • FlintstoneLighter
  • Solar Panel

The color names remind me of those of the Trabbi (car) from the GDR (ex East Germany) and when I searched for the colors of the Trabbi, Google directly found a reference to the iPhone 5c, so nothing new...
 
The deeply disturbing thing is, there will be people who jump in late during pre-orders who will order this Bronzed Turd version because the color they wanted is sold out. Why? Because, they must have their preeeecious. They will justify it by telling themselves that they will be throwing a case on it anyway. Sheep will be sheepin'. Wait for it! Thumbs down for the people who have done this exact thing incoming.
