Holding off judgement until tomorrow - my graphite 12 pro looks as dark as this in certain lighting as well, but most of time is the usual grey, almost brown, appearance.

Silver is what I'm really waiting to see though. Ready to switch it up from years of dark colors.
 
I'm going to miss my Midnight Green 11 pro. Would have loved the pacific blue 12 pro, but there was no way I was buying it when the 12 Pro Max had a better camera(so did not give them monies that year).

Glad I got the graphite cause I already owned one shiny, powder-blue box in my life, I will never need another one:

I got the Sierra Blue because I already had one shiny, green box in my life.

If I don't like this Sierra Blue within the few first days, then I'll be back on Team Graphite. I'm normally not a big "Baby Blue" fan, but wanted to give it a fair try.
 
The only legend on YouTube that probably bought his own iPhone and didn't use Sierra Blue. 👍🏼 For his review.

Hate to tell you, but none of the reviewers have bought their own phones. They were all provided by Apple.
 
Go ask him. He gets own devices. Unlike the popular American YouTubers that are given it to them.
Anyone reviewing an iPhone that early before the official launch day is using units directly on loan from Apple for marketing or review purposes. It's a global company, meaning they'll give out review units even if you're not based in the USA. He didn't pay for anything, but Apple is not dumb and knows foreign and domestic exposure leads to more sales. While the guy may purchase some products he reviews, the unreleased iPhone 13 is not one of them. He's basically iJustine or insert another similar YouTuber that got an early review unit. Apple lets them release videos once the embargo is lifted.

Dont you ever compare him to the likes of iJustine, thank you.
 
According to someone who has both the 13 Pro and 12 Pro in graphite, the 13 Pro is slightly darker so it’s not the same as the 12 Pro.

 
Team graphite checking in but as posted in the other thread, yes it is a tad bit darker than the 12.

Yes I thought they’d be the same but side by side 13 looks darker.

Here’s a side profile.

Yep, it's a win for team Graphite 👍

No wonder it was such a popular choice this year...

I think it’s the way the lighting is hitting the phone on the right. I’d imagine they’re identical. Id like to see another comparison.
 
Just been in the apple store and compared them and I swear to you they are identical, pictures to not show it right as at a slight angle they change shade, but having spent 20min comparing them they are the same
