iPhone 13 Said to Offer Fewer Storage Options and New Pink Color, iPhone 13 Pro Adds Black and Bronze Colors

Kinda sad to see the Pacific Blue go, but kinda expected. They have somewhat started to add a 4th color rotation to the Pro models with Green being the 11 Pro, Pacific Blue being the 12 Pro and now apparently Bronze being the 13 Pro.

that being said, bring on that all black model.

Yeah that black will be nice, but this is exactly why I won't be trading in my Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max.

Ok Apple, this is really stupid.
I can’t believe there isn’t anymore a “gold 2018” iPhone for years.
Every f*****g Apple devices or accessories (for example the iPhone dock) is avalaible in this color, and the last iPhone with that color is 8/8 Plus, btw iMac M1 with keyboard, mouse, trackpad, also cords(!) has it.
Hey, there’s anyone here?!
Big babol color, Milka color, mint color, also a pissed bronze/yellow and coral (wtf?) on Xr and 11! C’mon, be serious.
And 128 Gb, really?! In 2022?! Maybe 256 Gb mini/12 aren’t selling well because the price is higher than expected?? Here we are again, years from the gorgeous 4Gb iPhone?!
Unbelievable, it’s better spend money in Apple stock options than in Apple devices and services.

This right here. Except for the price part. The mini was the lowest price iPhone 12.

It really is starting to look like intentional sabotage. They don't want the mini to succeed, and just like the omission of the telephoto lens and stainless steel last year, they're going to make an even more gimped "mini" option this year before putting it fully out to pasture next year. They just want everyone to begrudgingly lug around a 2.5 lb brick the size of a school bus in their pockets.

It's absolutely infuriating.

I disagree about the price. The 12 mini was $100 cheaper.

The SE was essentially a smaller 6S, but the 6S was $649, and the SE was $399. Massive price difference.

Can APPLE donate a portion of the sales from the PINK iPhone For Cancer?

I have Cancer.

STEVE JOBS would LOVE this.

I don’t know why some people are laughing at your comment, I think it is a brilliant idea. Raising funds to help cancer research would be really awesome.

On the other hand, I’m happy there’s a pink option this year, because hopefully the Product(RED) this year will be bolder, darker maybe. The shade of red I really liked from the iPhone 8 and XR era.

Exactly. The 12 mini was $100 cheaper than the regular 12, and no one complained about the regular 12's price.

So why would a device $100 less with the exact same hardware and capabilities as another device with an accepted price be too expensive? It logically makes no sense.

If you're expecting something in the realm of $399-649, there is a budget iPhone option that covers that too. The 12 mini isn't supposed to be the "cheap phone," that's what the SE is. The 12 mini was supposed to be the regular 12 with all of its latest and greatest hardware, just in a more reasonably-sized package.

The 12 mini was $100 cheaper than the regular iPhone 12. However, the iPhone 12 was $100 more expensive than the iPhone 11. Actually what happened here is that the iPhone 12 had a price increase, and the mini filled the gap of the iPhone 11 price.

You’re absolutely right. I’ve had several discussions with people who don‘t understand that the iPhone 12 cannot have an SE price, because it is a whole new design. However, due to the low sales, I’m seeing the iPhone 12 mini discounted on many retailers, starting at 650€... (original price of the iPhone mini was 809€)

The bronze... is not for me. I love last year's blue, hopefully that option is still available for the 13!

Bronze is a tough color to do, especially on any non-metallic finish, given that it can veer into brown or green pretty easily.

I imagine it'll look nicer than Macrumor's mockup, though :)

The Pro really needs to start at 512 storage option.

Edit: I don't understand all the disagreements. I'm just wishing here, its like saying "I hope to win $10 million dollars" and someone disagreeing and saying thats too much for me. You don't have to spend it.

yea, but since we're likely not getting a 2gb option — we'd end up with only 2 size options.
