I have seen many people say the new graphite is slightly darker than last years this is not true, I compared them and it’s exactly the same, some photos show one darker as taking a shot of it changes hue at a slight angle, but anyone else who has both hold them over the top of each other it’s not hard to see they are the exactly the same, why people on here seem to think it’s darker is beyond me
The reason why you care is beyond me…
First world problems, I guess ….🥸
 
Definitely 100% the same. I co
Pared with my 12PM and 13PM absolutely no difference. Swapped to the SB today in London as I love the grey tint in certain conditions.
 
Just a few things here from my experience.
Last year i scratched my sim card tray by accident. I couldnt stand looking it scratched so i ordered a new sim card tray from the official apple distributor in my country. When i received it the new sim card tray was slightly lighter in colour than the one i had and when i used it on the phone you could easily see the variation with the rest of the phone.

I called them and they said to me that this is totally normal. Its the same colour but on different angles you could see the variation!

In addition to that for some reason this years finish on the ss frame of the phone doesnt collect smudges as easy as last year and also for some reason they wipe off easier.
