I’m digging it. It just hits different. But Sierra blue is also very nice. You guys are tempting me to carry 2, 1TB iPhone Pro Max until September.

It’s just a Color. I keep my phone in a case and even forgot what Color it was at one point. Not worth changing phones just for a Color imho.
 
After seeing it in person, I’m not a fan.

You have to say that because you are so deep into Sierra Blue. 🤣
You know it. 🤣

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a ugly color, but it’s got nothing on my sierra blue goddess.

Personally think Alpine Green is by far the nicest iPhone colour from the last 2 years.

Now now, don’t push it. 😆

Think I’m more into my lighter colors when it comes to iPhones, most of my previous iPhones have been silver or white, only the iPhone 4 & 5 were black.

My soul is already dark enough as it is. 😂

You know it’s all about that starlight braided solo loop and sierra blue combo. 😜

I just received my Alpine green iPhone 13 pro max yesterday.
Here are some pictures compared with my graphite and sierra blue iPhone.
The alpine green is a gorgeous color, but I’m still not sure if I like the glossy, very green, camera part. I think I might need a day or two to get used to it.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that it seems to look “dirty” faster than the other two. If you look closely at the phones, there’s a slight ring mark where the MagSafe charger has been. And that’s from just one night of charging. The other two phones have been on my MagSafe charger dozens of times, and there’s not a trace of a mark on them.
Other than that, it looks great, and might end up as my daily driver.
What do you think?

Nice review. Ring marks on Alpine green are strange. Have you tried rubbing them and seeing if it comes off? I'm not seeing any ring marks on mine. Wonder if that's normal or not.

You using the apple MagSafe charger?

My mate charges his Baltic blue iPhone 12 Pro Max with a apple MagSafe charger, the back of his phone looks very bad, a lot worse than the mark on your iPhone, pretty much ruined.

It’s definitely the exposed steel ring that’s causing all these marks, can’t believe apple sells this charger. 🤦‍♂️

Agree with you on the over saturated green camera bump, doesn’t look that great.

If I had to pick,

Sierra Blue.

Alpine Green.

Graphite.

Can’t go wrong with either of them colors.

I wiped the back of the phone with a microfiber cloth and the ring stain came off, but the fact that it was there in the first place was a bit strange to me, as I’ve never seen it on any of my other phones..
The phone wasn’t delivered until around 4 pm yesterday, so today will be the first whole day with the phone. It looks like it will be a nice and sunny day here in Norway (it’s only 8 am, but the sun is already shining in a cloudless sky), so I’m excited to see how I’ll enjoy the color through the day (yes, I know it’s just a color - but colors are important to me) and if I see the glossy green around the camera in a different light (pun intended) today.
And please keep posting your opinions on the Alpine green phone 😎
 
Ditched the sierra blue for alpine green, collecting tomorrow. If I’m honest the blue never felt like the phone I really wanted but I got it because it was the new colour. This alpine green fits much better. And I really like there are cases and MagSafe wallet to match.
If I had money to burn I would too get rid of my Sierra blue for this gorgeous green
 
Mine just arrived. I’m not going to lie. This is a gorgeous iPhone. I have a feeling Apple will only offer it for the next 6 months before they get rid of the color. Thus, making it a seasonal color iPhone.

Congratulations! What a gorgeous colour! As I've always wanted an iPhone mini and with the gorgeous new Green out, I thought I'd get a 13 mini in Green instead. Mine should be arriving next Friday as our pre-orders only started yesterday. Enjoy your new phone. 👍
 
Surely to God people aren’t taking a major hit by selling their current 13PM and buying the new green version to only slap a case on it?😂
The way I run my contract it didn't cost me - the trade in price was £150 more than the settlement on my account. And my bill has gone up £1
 
I went to the Apple Store and saw it in person. Its a slightly darker shade of green in comparison to the iPhone 11 Pro Max I had a few years ago. I'd gotten it if it was dark green like the iPhone 13 - I preferred that green over the 13 Pro/Max. The Apple rep did say a lot of people were coming in exchanging for the green, though.

You are correct, from a sanity perspective, no doubt.

The shareholder in me however strongly disagrees - you should buy every colour if that provides enough meaningful value to your existence. Plus a polishing cloth, for each, of course.
 
I got mine yesterday. It’s an absolutely fantastic phone. Beautiful colour. I will say that this photo seems more representative than a lot of the others in this thread which seem to have been altered with filters.

With a case on the colour is dark and in a dull / darker room the green almost looks black.

This would look fantastic in the Golden Brown leather case I have on my Blue iPhone 13 Mini.

Of course it would have to be stepped up a size, but I feel like this case is made for this color.

You know, Apple didn’t really entice me to upgrade immediately to the 13 Pro at launch, if they had introduced this color right at launch, it would’ve been a ‘day one buy’ for me. This particular green is mature, but also has that ‘tactical style’ that I really like about it with the flat-matte finish. Really good photo here that doesn’t over translate how it looks under certain lighting.

Mine arrived yesterday; very impressed. It's replaced my Sierra Blue IP13PM after a few wifi & 5G connectivity issues

Much prefer the Alpine Green ;)
