I’d say it’s a “Papaya Orange” but some of you have come with a better name, such as “Dusty Pumpkin”. Anyways, not my cup of tea, personally.

But not that many people is talking about that dark blue. It is gorgeous and it would be my absolute choice.

I always go "pure" with whites/creams etc.

This year I think I'll go with black, for a change.

I'll be putting a clear, Apple silicon case on it, so it will be protected against chips/scratches.
 
It won't be that orange, nor should it be. It will have a deep, metallic orange color (similar to the AWU Action Button, but much deeper). Bet on it.
The aluminum part will be metallic, but not the glass part. And the exact Pantone color for the non-aluminum part was already leaked earlier.

Aluminum color left (from the camera rings), Pantone color right:

I see we’re back to super boring low saturation colors on the Regular and now Air. Better grab a second 16 in amazing Ultramarine post-launch in case mine breaks.
 
Apple has released some really odd iPhone color lineups in the past decade (though the 16 was probably the best). It’s so out of left field, contrasting with the pastels of the other lines. How about some primary colors?

Also if I don’t get a natural/grey I will RIOT.

Yup, exactly. It takes on a deeper, metallic tone than displayed on the dummy models, which is what I was referencing. The dummy models don't do it justice. Simply looking at the Pantone color doesn't give you a sense of what it will look like either.

My 13 mini is small enough and fine for now.
Not excited at all about Apple's AI for that matter.
But pls surprice me, but it won't happen until Siri is stone-dead.

I'm the more excitd for Sam Altman and Joni's coming AI device.
See how things and how phones changes when AI takes next step. Apple with Tim Cook are just repeating themselves.
Yeah, I'm not either

I don't have a phone or iPad that support it, and my one device that does (M2 MacBook Air) I hardly even use it because of how half-baked it is

Unless Apple can really get the ball rolling on this, they may as well throw the towel in where they are now for it and just let Siri talk to other models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Sonnet, etc etc

It also depends on which parts will be aluminum and which will be glass. There is contradictory information for example regarding the camera bump.

However, the ring color looks less saturated to me than a deep orange would. So I wouldn’t expect a saturated orange look overall. The choice of Pantone color indicates that they are going for a paler, slightly salmon-y orange.
