Went with the Deep Purple PM, and I think it’s great. Yeah the back is muted due to the frosted glass, but the SS antenna band and camera bump are both very purple.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 14 Pro Max Deep Purple regret

Were any of you who returned it using the iPhone Upgrade Program? I am not a big fan of the purple either and want to swap to a different color but I don't know if the Apple Store will do a swap, and if they do how big of a pain in the butt it is going to be. Thanks!
I don't get it. If it doesn't look any different, why return it?
I agree but people still think so, so you can never get the newest thing for a while.
Yea I want Black or Purple, but if there is no stock in store soon, color would be the first thing I would bend on.
Going the same route! I’ll miss the 14 PM though as I need to wait 2 weeks for my Space Black.

This is your problem right here. You got a color you didn't like solely to impress strangers, who more than likely, wouldn't notice or care at all.
After reading your initial post, I was going to ask the obvious question of why not just put a case on the phone. However, after seeing your rationale for the purchase, it's obvious that wouldn't have allowed you to get your gratification from strangers.
You are wrong, that is not why I returned purple and got the Silver got a good impression about the color at first like i had with Sierra Blue then realized how boring deep purple is.. some want the new color and to be able to show to others is the main reason - maybe we are not like that but there is a lot of people who think like that and Apple and their marketing dpt knows this very well… like I said for me Sierra Blue was the best color on an iPhone ever… Deep Purple is the worst
You literally said that people choose the newest color so others know you have the latest and greatest:
Your motivation for getting a purple phone is awfully clear.
I personally think the purple is great, and I don’t care what anyone else thinks because it’s my phone.
And that’s exactly what I love about it—although they had better called it “Subtle Purple”..
They should do a dark but more vibrant purple like Egg Plant.
Loved the blue on my 12PM and love the purple in my 14PM.
Purple not as flashy as the blues but phones in elderberry case. I’m happy.

Yes. The bright vibrant colours are gone. I hate the pastels.
I love my 13 mini blue though. Best colour they’ve done in years.
Can we also comment on the silicone case and Watch band colors?
We've had some standout colors in the past but they've all been so uninspiring lately. How many years in a row are we going to get a pale pink, a pale blue-green, a dull navy blue, and a pale yellow-orange?
Where are the bright blues, the bright greens, the hot pinks? Or heck, any proper purple?

That’s why I picked it. I like purple—more so royal purple. This is closer to a muted lavender. However, paired with the ink leather, it’s dark enough to not look so far off from a black or dark blue at a quick glance. I’m usually a space grey or nothing kind of guy. So, this is a nice change without being too drastic.
I love my deep purple iPhone. The loveliest colour ever for an iPhone. No regret, would buy it again.

I think that Apple should only exchange faulty items and not pander to the colour change crowd....
It’s a legal right in most countries having a return period so it’s usually out of their control.
