When buying the 13 pro max this year, I found it hard to decide between the graphite and the sierra blue, so I ended up buying both, with the intention of selling one of them, once I had made up my mind.
But, here I am, almost two months later, and still undecided.
I know that the choice of color is a personal thing, and that people on a forum message board, can’t decide for me.
Still, I would like to hear your opinions about these two colors.
To me, the graphite is the timeless, classic color, that matches all my other Apple accessories, such as my MacBook, iPad and Apple Watch.
Still, as the graphite color is exactly like last year’s graphite, it doesn’t have that “new phone feeling” to it.
The sierra blue, however, screams “iPhone 13 pro max” and brings something new to the table. A unique color. It’s a brighter, yet elegant look.
In some light, it looks steel, or icey, gray, almost like something taken from the movie “Frozen”.
While other times it has a nice blue tone to it. Before it changes into an almost feminine lavender kind of color.
Some times I find the color so fresh and great, while other times it looks dull and boring (not quite silver, not quite blue).
I should mention that I use the phone at least 50/50 with/without a case, so yes, the color does matter to me.
I thought that the sierra blue would soon look boring and old, but with the color of the graphite 12 and 13, I think the graphite looks more dated and old - though I think it matches my style and my other equipment the best in the long run…
Never thought it would be this hard to choose a color.
