I really wish that show didn’t exist 🤦🏻♂️
No, orange is not the new black.
Apple design team are just morons and figured they’d give their customers an annoyance that they’ll “correct” next year (for more $$$ via upgrade) 🙄
Ridiculous that both the Air and base 17 have a professional color option while the pros don’t 👎🏻
Not everyone uses a case, and not everyone wants to stare at some flashy / ugly phone color the next 1-4 years until they upgrade.

The silver just looks rather cheap, especially when compared to the titanium color from previous gens. The orange is SO bright. I don't really hate it, but it would just be too much for me. The blue will probably be what most people go with since there isn't a black. I had a blue 12PM. I thought it was a good color.
What's unprofessional about the color orange?
I can only assume a last minute production problem prevented them from having a black/dark grey colourway.
It’ll be back, probably next year I reckon!

If you spend your time staring at other people’s phones, just to find a color you dislike, you have no one but yourself to blame.
space gray or black... they could have done it yesterday, but they purposely did not do it.
The only reason I could think of why Apple didn't make a pro variation in black is to drive sales to the AIR.
We use / look at our own phones for hours per day, and not everyone wants to use a case to cover these flashy / ugly colors up.

I've always gotten the black or gray versions of phones. Setting up my preorder, I was VERY tempted to go orange. I already ordered cases, and with the larger bump prominently displaying the color of the phone, I ultimately decided to go blue as I always prefer darker colors. I really wish they stuck with a gray variant. All good for a year until that Fold model arrives!
I like your new phone and case. Enjoy.
You are free to take your bright orange cellphone into the boardroom if you consider it to be a prof
Yes if one is lost at sea or in space bright orange is great. Also on a busy construction jobsite.
Color is least of the problem in that pic.Yeah, I don’t understand, it’s perfectly professional.
Is it me or is apple starting to really get annoying with their reservation in trying new colors aka the Baltic sea color and the Sierra blue one. It's getting old and I'm sick of these colors already. As for "This orange color" lets be real and stop being yes men and state the TRUTH. HIDEOUS. If we wanted to make a mock phone based on the Ultra iWatch which I'm hoping this was about. Because if it wasnt? Then LAWD Jesus we have issues up in Apple. The color design department that is. Where are the Browns the Bronze metallics? The Champagnes? The mulberry ideology becoming of a pro phone? Idk? Maybe just not ORANGE?? The hell. I found a mock up of a yellow which looks a million times better than this. And an ultra i watch fusion. Don't get me wrong I'm thankful. But I've been a customer idk my whole life? And it's getting old the color choices. Stop please. (I'll be sticking to white as always 🫥) side note I loved the green 11 pro and the titanium in the 15.) Also I was thinking about this for a long time and I now know the answer. Apple only released the orange color and reduced the lineup to 3 choices in color to sicken off pro users into buying the Air???

I read from reddit (I know... take it with a grain of salt) that someone who's familiar with manufacturing said the move to India presented some challenges regarding the black color?
I wonder if they will release a new color or two in the spring when things stabilize? I venture a guess that this is all bull crap but would be nice to get black and maybe a jungle green of some sort.

Ok.....thanks for ruining my joke by taking it way too seriously. 😐
The 5s didn’t come in Slate Black, that was the iPhone 5. I agree that it was the best color and I still have mine (nostalgia)
