My iPhone 14 Pro Max leather ink case will arrive on Wednesday. I'm hoping it will look more like the picture you took on the right. The one on the left is more blue than I'd like.
Got a tip for us?

I don’t know I am not seeing much purple in any of the two.
It still looks mostly blue to me with maybe a smidge of purple 😂
I can see what you mean given it’s a brighter colour in sunlight …. But I can only see blue haha.
Really strange that they don't make a color matching leather case. Last year, there were no blue leather case, but a purple one. This year there's no purple leather case, but an ink/blue one? Hmm...
I was thinking the same exact thing! And I bet the dark cherry leather would be a great look with the dark purple imo
They need to update the color profile of the box of the ink leather case…not even close.
Here's my take on it:
It's a very weird color. Not necessarily in a bad way.
Those who say they see navy blue, I can understand the matching, but with my eyes, I see more of a purple tone than blue. On the picture, I have slightly edited it to show what I personally see (the box is not as purple usually).
I think it will make a good match with the iPhone 14 Pro in Deep Purple, if not I will return it. For that same reason I haven't opened the leather wallet yet.

Yours seems to have more purple than blue in it. I'm sure its just lighting but its crazy how different the case looks compared to the box. I have already returned mine. As much as I like the leather cases, I might grab the Elderberry silicone or just use a clear case until we get a Spring refresh.
Well like I said, I modified the picture so the box looks more purple than it does in real life. Actually the two are quite similar, just the case is slightly darker. It's quite tough to make a good picture of it.
But I completely understand your point. I was hesitating with the clear case so I might take it if I decide to return the leather case. I'll give it a chance though!
Edit: Here's how the box looks, kind of.

it seems to depend a lot on the lighting. I feel like the name „Ink“ fits the actual color very well, as you can see in the attached video in various angles. I still like it, despite the fact that I primarily ordered based on the color from the product website, where even the photos (or rendersI of the case) do look a lot more purple.
Not happy with that visible magsafe ring on mine though, didn‘t have that with my 13pro leather case when it was still mint condition.

I've had the MagSafe ring visible on every Leather case I've owned since 12Pro (2 for the 12Pro and 4 for the 13Pro). If it was not visible out of the box, it became visible within minutes of using a MagSafe accessory.
I wouldn't accept it right out of the box with the magsafe ring there but that's me even though it will eventually develop one.
Oh yeah we can see the ring very well. On mine I can't see it, just a few lines.
But as the others say, if you plan to use MagSafe accessories, I wouldn't bother returning it.
The ring only really seems to show up under direct sunlight. I made another video comparing the case with the box, using various temperatures of articifial light:
I shared some photos here:

silly question.. but how on earth do you open the box???
I have mine but cant get into it. i like to keep boxes pristine for resale items....
