Personally I bought silver and will give no more thought to iPhone color, but there is no getting around my dislike of the bright white ceramic back. I really wish we had a choice for a gray ceramic back.
They matched the ceramic color to the blue and orange aluminum - so I'd love to know why they stopped there. It makes the silver back a bit "busy".

What gets me is that the glass trackpad on a silver macbook is a perfect match for the aluminum surrounding it. They couldn't give the 17 Pro a similar treatment?

Also, isn't it glass?
 
do people really need a buyers guide for *checks notes* colours??

People should pick whichever they like the look of.
 
Yes I've got one of these skins on and works well

Hi, used these guys before for Pixel 8 pro and Google pixel fold because those camera bars scratched if you looked at them wrong. Do you think the camera covering is really doing much in this case though? JerryRigEverything showed that it's the anodization on the very edge where the camera plateau meets the antennae line that comes off quite easily. It looks like that spot is still exposed, going from the silver model they used to display.

I guess there's really not getting around that because you couldn't really design a skin that sits flush with that slope. Dammit Apple!
 
Cosmic Orange is freaking awesome. I've always gotten subtle colors. The best one they ever did was Deep Purple. But now I am happy to have the obnoxiously weird and bright orange. It just looks so cool. I don't know why I like it so much. Lol

I have ordered an Orange 17 Pro Max. Still waiting for it to be delivered. I had no doubt in going with this color. Easy choice for me. Was excited when the rumors in July suggested an Orange colored Pro iPhone. Love the color. Reminds me of the orange Nokia N8.

Have no idea why Apple decided to release a Pro iPhone with bright color this year. Hopefully this will continue and there will be a bright colored iPhone every year.

I haven't seen any of the 17 Pro's in person yet, but looking at the photos I think this is Apple's first genuinely ugly product, probably the worst since the PowerMac G3 All-in-one Molar Mac.
I've seen them in person and I agree, they are ugly!
