Just consider it one person's humble opinion put into the ether, like most the posts here. There was a time when I had the black iPhone 5, so take it with a grain of salt. No rainy days, just sunshine come Friday no matter what color --- really. Sometimes it rains on parades, and the skies turn graphite like that iPhone color. What color are you getting?

Graphite (same as my 12P). I wouldn't touch one of those wretched Sierra Blue iPhones with a 10 foot selfie stick :p

Lol, yess. Once you go black, you know the rest. Hopefully the Sequoia Green leather case will make Sierra Blue palatable. I'd consider keeping my Pacific Blue PM if it wasn't throwing errors about its display not being a genuine Apple display despite being wholly original from Apple on last year's launch day 🤷‍♂️. Oh well, makes a fine enough excuse to move on to the next without trying to restore the OS.
 
Wow wished I see this before I preordered my sierra blue. It’s almost matte black like.
 
I'm also glad I went with the graphite - although I can't decide which color leather case to match with it, black or golden brown?
 
You cannot go wrong with this neutral choice. Great option if you don't want a "look at me" phone color, or for professionals who don't want to be distracted with bright colors. Pro Max is a big phone; if I were getting one, this is the stealth tone I want for the phone.

I like the Sierra blue color this year but as usual I'm sticking with the sleek Graphite. Absolutely gorgeous.
And for those who say it's boring, I guess you can spice things up with a nice silicone case when you do get bored (I know I won't)
 
I almost don't care about color as I will be using a case immediately. I avoided the Sierra Blue because I figured it would be the hot color and be harder to get. Graphite seemed like a safe choice. All my previous iPhones were Space Gray or Silver until the 11 Pro Max which I got in Midnight Green.
 
Classy then, still classy now…

I can’t decide if I want to go graphite or Sierra Blue. I’ll have to see them in person.

Me too. I always get the black/space gray/graphite iPhone. I was feeling risky and was leaning toward at the Sierra Blue… and then I saw the reviews on YouTube. For me, it was underwhelming.

the green and light blue together is hideous!
 
Pre-ordered the graphite on 17th but have been debating for days now whether to return it for the sierra blue (that I'm still not sold on) or not. After seeing these pics, no question, graphite was the right choice for me so thank you for putting that to rest. Can't wait till I get the phone tomorrow. It looks great!
