iPhone 14 Pro Max Deep Purple regret

[DotCom2]

I really liked the light purple from the leaks/renders but the dark purple was a hard pass for me! Stuck with silver.

Same! I think they did name it right though cuz you do have to look “Deep” to find the purple !

I think that Apple should only exchange faulty items and not pander to the colour change crowd....

Then maybe they should have the real models of their phones they are releasing in their stores before people can online order...

Excellent idea!

I have to wonder about the lightings that you guys have because my sister bought a purple. It’s a lovely colour, and you definitely see that it’s purple, whatever time of day. Lighting or weaker eyes or colour blindness, perhaps? LOL 🤣😜

I have waited forever for  to release a purple pro and am really enjoying my 14 Pro. Wouldn’t switch to any other color this year. The Deep Purple is beautiful.

I love my PURP, no regrets!!! Best color iPhone since Jet Black.

Space black isn’t really black anyway, in the light it’s space charcoal

💯

I admit I was disappointed with how dark the deep purple is. I decided to keep my purple 14pro max because I don’t prefer any other color and I hated the notch. Dynamic island all the way!

I ordered the Samsung Z Fold 4 in green/grey and had to go on YouTube videos and photos without having seen one in the flesh. It's not the greatest colour in the world but it isn't horrendous either. All of the iPhone colours are liveable with too IMO.

Receiving a fault-free device is the main concern.

Anybody got Deep Purple and returned? for me looking with a distance it don't look that different from space black or space gray, is not like the Sierra Blue from last year that had some impact... deep purple feels boring

The blue of the iPhone 12 Pro is absolutely gorgeous. I had zero doubts that was the color to pick, and pick it I did. When I saw the purple of the 14 Pro, I hesitated. I didn’t like the other colors except the space black, but the space black is not that different from any of the typical colors that Apple uses, so it’s rather blah.

Purple probably the worst color

 

[msackey]

To me, Apple products are either black or white traditionally. Other colours are fun to have, but IMHO they don't look like Apple products when you do that. This year I've gone with White/Silver. Zero regrets.

Isn’t their real traditional Apple color “boxy beige” 😂. Not white. Not black, but beige.

Exactly MG and PB were the same. In indoor light they always look black or dark gray.

I LOVED the Midnight Green because it was so dark and subtle but all the colors since then I have gotten sick of quickly…if they had brought back the MG I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Instead I got Space Black, which as another commenter said, is timeless.

 

[msackey]

They should do a dark but more vibrant purple like Egg Plant.

Oh that would be a gorgeous color!!!

I think they have a 14 day return/exchange policy as long as so the boxes and inserts are there and the phone is in like-new condition.

I put mine in a case and now I have no idea what color it is

MG was my favorite of the 11 series. I really considered getting a MG 13 PM a few months ago instead of waiting for the 14 PM. I got the SB 14 PM.

This is why I went with Gold again. It's the only actual color on sale (the rest being various shades of grey).

 

[pw5a29]

Loving this purple.

Shades of purple, blue and grey in different lightings. Great

 

[MrMacintoshIII]

Honestly feels like someone in their 50s is picking these colours from the archive room folders that hold old correspondence.

Like Burt G. from Severance!

 

[MacCurry]

I love my Deep Purple. Smoke on the water..Fire in the sky....

 

[sparksd]

I like it, zero regrets.

 

[FunkyTang]

Apple should have named Deep Purple as Lingerie Gray

 

[NM08SRT8]

But did you buy the color for you to enjoy or for others? “From far away…” who cares. Lol. You’re the one who should be enjoying your color, not others.

You think you’ll land a mate by showing off you have a purple phone?

I don’t get it.

Sold my sierra 13pm which I loved and got the deep purple. While it looks black is most lightning I do like how it can look dark blue/grey.

As much as I thought about silver when I saw it in store I am good with my choice. My phone is case less 95% of the time as well.

I do have a space black but the black stainless steel sides do make the bezels look thicker than they are. Thinking of returning mine for perhaps a silver or a purple.

You mean when looking at the phone from the front or the sides?
