I’m happy with it. Really like the color of the aluminum sides; the back can be a little intense, but not like a lot of the photos. Blue can be a hard color to capture on camera, especially a highly saturated blue like this. Overall, all good. A nice break from the black of all my previous iPhones.

The pics in reviews don't do it justice, in person it is incredible on the 12.
It's definitely a rich blue, it almost reminds me of the richness of the red XR. I do kind of wish it was more of a dark teal, but I'm happy it's not what it looked like in some of those unboxing/review pics.
I can’t wait to exchange mine for a white one. I don’t have the blue but I don’t love it either.
I’m so glad I went with blue. I thought I’d be sad giving up my purple but I’m so glad I upgraded.
I have the midnight green 11 Pro. What drew me to it was they finally released a dark iPhone that wasn’t black. Every other color besides black or gray has been light or bright. Finally the green was on the darker side. Blue has always been my favorite color but to your point I think the Pro stying is better, looks less like a toy/plastic. I’m debating the new blue or pacific green phones vs keeping the 11 Pro a good long while.
Loving that blue... hoping mine finally comes tomorrow.
Also the plastic toy comments are getting so played out ha

All these big YouTubers have extremely bright spotlights that manage to blow up any color. It’s a shame, because in reality these colors are more subtle than the videos make it seem.
I've upgraded to the Blue iPhone 12 from the (PRODUCT)Red iPhone XR and I love the new blue. The red of the XR was deep, rich and lovely and initially I planned to go to a (PRODUCT)Red 12 but when I saw the GMA hands on with the blue model and compared it to the online photos of the (PRODUCT)Red 12 I decided to switch and I don't regret it at all. Not seen a (PRODUCT)Red 12 yet but I'm not expecting for it to sway me. I've put mine in a JETech clear case, initially I had an Apple MagSafe Clear Case but it was just too slippy for me so I've returned it. For the first time in a long time I think I could probably get away without a case (it's not that slippy really), but after dropping so much money on the phone I'd rather have a little protection for now at least.
It’s definitely a stunning colour and a favourite with more likes.
Here’s a poll and as you can see, blue is a leading favourite.
I originally had the 12 Pro Pacific Blue on order but decided to just get the 12 regular instead after I saw the color in person (was on the fence with my need for the pro anyway) and realized that it was much nicer than the online video or pics. Mind you, I am not a 'blue' person, but I really like this color.
I have the white one thinking in replacing it now by the blue. I saw today the blue in person and looks so great!!
One question to everybody here:
Why did you go for the regular 12 instead of the pro?!?
My reason is I really hated the steel mirror frames of the pro.

because of the weight.
Pro is heavier than my previous phone Xs.
12 is lighter than Xs.
If Pro and 12 weighed the same, I would have bought a pro in white.
Ha I kept seeing pics of my friends 12 Pro and caved LOL.
I was all set on the mini but after I kept seeing it I couldn’t resist.
The Blue looks pretty sharp in person. It's exactly the same shade as the Apple Watch. I like it, but I prefer more neutral colors.
My answer is the Pro didn’t offer anything I wanted that the 12 didn’t already have. I feel the 12 is a better phone for the money.
Germao, I won't be using my phone in any professional way, so more storage, telephoto and more ram weren't necessary for me. My last phone was a Samsung Note 5 with 32 gigs of storage which I only backed up and cleaned out once in 5 years because I was close to storage capacity. I think the 12 regular is a very nice upgrade for me. Very happy with my decision and very happy I finally went to iPhone. I've been missing out all these years!
Thanks, just ordered mine! First one I’ve seen that I actually think I’ll love. Clear with black band for the silver Pro Max.
