Purple is nice but I was dead set on silver for my next phone even before they announced. Got midnight green for 11pro. No regrets but thought it would be nice to have a silver phone since it matches well with any cases.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 14 Pro Max Deep Purple regret

I think if I liked the Deep Purple more, that would have tipped me enough to buy on impulse the two times I went in store to look aha. I loved my blue 12 Pro and the pink 13 isn't pink enough.
No regrets here. Pacific Blue is still my all time favourite, but really liking the Deep Purple. I like how the edges of the stainless steel around the screen reflect the light and look almost silver.
Oh yes sorry I meant from the front. Personally it would be good to have a reflective colour to kind of show the reduced bezels from the front.
I kinda noticed that but I don't find it annoying. The thing that bothers me the most, if I have to find one, is the weight of the phone, especially with a case on. But that might be because I came from a mini..
I regret not going seeing them in 74 when they were in a city close to me.
It's one of the better colors they have today. If you didn't look at the images right and people said it looked like black. You should have not wasted time. Me its what I wanted.
It's a bit like buying a purple car. It might look great the first day in the show room but 6 months later you wonder what you were thinking.
Re: impulse and going to the store two times.
Oh? You mean I'm not the only one that does that? Ahahaha. I live very near an Apple Store — just 10 minutes drive from my home and a lovely Apple Store it is in a pretty neat mall
So I've gone to the Apple Store to look at the clear case for the iPhone 12 Pro (God knows how many times and I still haven't made that purchase). Then I went maybe 2 times to look at the iPhone 14 Pro. I was going to go yesterday to check out the AirPods Pro and Ultra but didn't realize the store closes at 8pm instead of 9pm, so by the time I was ready the store had JUST closed.
Ahahah. Oh, not to forget to mention that we've been to the Apple Store a few times to look at the latest iPad Pro.
Did I purchase anything (yet)?
No.
I hear ya. The good thing about Apple's return policy is that you have 14 days and can return/exchange it as long as you have all the boxes, inserts, and the phone is in like-new condition. It's even better if you have an Apple Store close by because you can easily make the exchange/return.
Yeah, the Pacific Blue of the iPhone 12 Pro was the first time I immediately knew that that was the color I wanted. I don't care for shiny so the silver and gold options for any of Apple's products is something I've never desired. When they came out with Midnight Green on the iPhone 13 Pro I was like, wow that's an ugly colour.
With the purple for the iPhone 14 Pro, I am fence sitting. Definitely don't care for the gold or silver versions. The space black is ok but it is so "boring" though fully acceptable and nice. Purple is the only colour they offer that's different and it's eh...iffy. If I got for the 14 Pro, not sure if I'll lean to Purple or Space Black.
The purple Chrysler muscle cars of the 1960s/1970s are still attractive to collect. Not sure of a purple Gremlin of the same era - old man post for those who don’t know
what I’m talking about.
I get white and pure naked stainless steel. Never any regrets.
No regrets. Purple is my favorite color. I just wish the purple iPad matched, but oh well.
Love this. I hear you— I was sorely tempted to buy a 13 Pro in green. I believe they call it “Alpine Green” and it’s slightly lighter but I do hope they eventually go back to that Midnight shade because it was so perfect.
They should at least have restock fees for opened items that aren't defective
The space black is just SUCH a boring color imo. White/silver is the clear winner this year.
This is so much a matter of personal taste & preferences, every proponent/opponent of a particular color will be preaching to a choir.
