I'm seriously considering skipping this year if I don't like the Pro colors. So far I'm not that impressed with what I've seen of dark blue (ugh more blue) or orange (cool in theory but I don't feel like this is a good phone color). I'm tired of upgrading the year right before or after they introduce a nice color. I'll just wait for purple and/or green to come back. It has to happen eventually, right?!
My gold iPhone 13 Pro Max in its purple translucent case is aesthetically perfect. I don't need this exact color combo again, but I don't want a downgrade.
(Yes this is stupid. I realize that.)
