My last Gold iPhone was the XS Max, and after using Pacific Blue and Deep Purple, I was going to get a Gold 15PM, until I read the rumor that there will be no gold this year. I prefer not to have another blue iPhone, but I have to decide between the silver or blue.
With the original rumors being seriously bright (5c) colors these are barely pastel in brightness, so definitely a let down.
Course most folks won't know what the rumors for bright colors were and probably won't care, but wow they are really light. If I was getting a 15, I'd be back down to white or black which is rather depressing (what a letdown on the blue).
Thanks for posting these TYAL. The fact that MacRumors hasn't spun these colors up in an article, when these seem like the actual genuine colors and such a difference from the original rumors...is not the only time I've noticed we've been missing stuff here. :-(
