The silver actually looks good here. Nice duo! My wife went with silver on her 17 Pro Max, I went with Deep Blue on mine. Can't wait for today!
Got a tip for us?

I would have gone with the Pro Space Black, if there was one, if nothing else because I have a MacBook Pro of that colour and they would have looked good together.
I was keen on the "copper" orange, as it was called in the rumors, but it turned out to be not the tone I was expecting (in fact even the name is different). So I went for the Blue, the darkest of the 3 and the closest thing to the Space Black.
During the presentation I was actually almost drawn to go with the Air, indisputably the most stylish one, quite premium specs (apart from the camera, but more than good enough for what I do). I wanted more reassurance about the battery life, though. Shame, because it has the space black version...
Truth is, I should have waited a couple of weeks until all models will be thoroughly reviewed by many tech websites and then decide if and what model to buy.
That would have been rational. But there's little rational in buying an Apple product. I was convinced of this long before joining the club... and I still think the same 🙂
I wasn’t due to receive it until the 29th. I was 100% able to cancel with Verizon.
The OP posted an actual real life shot without studio lighting or anything and that’s what did it for me. And how am I making a scene? I made a simple post…
It’s shocking how bad they scratch and it doesn’t come out, stupid for them to use metal on the MagSafe in the stores. Silver looks like a kids toy, these do not look like pro phones
Same. I’d have been interested in this black one if it was available.
Not a fan of the two tone colours though the blue hides it quite well.
Ouch, sorry for touching a nerve, but I agree, people clearly do like it, I just think it looks pants. Having said that, it doesn't matter what others think as long as you like it, enjoy your new phone 👍
I love the orange myself but would probably run the deep blue in an orange case.
I preordered Orange, then regretted it so ordered a blue aswell. In store though now and Orange looks so nice. So Orange will definitely be my keeper.
Don’t forget, that 99.9% of the time you will be looking at it from the front. And that orange bezel pops so hard versus the blue!

I went to the local store today to check them out - the blue seems to be the one with the most scratches actually. None I could tell on silver and less visible on the orange
I am coming from a iPhone 12 pro max gold, first and foremost the orange colour does not bother me it reminds me of a bronze.
It also does a better job in showing the new two tone design when compared to the deep blue.
The phone feels much more comfortable and lighter in hand with a less sharper feel than the older phones.
In terms of performance i can instantly feel it. But I have not used it much so I am keeping it brief.
I believe i upgraded at the right time.

I will skip the 17 PM alltogether. They don’t look anywhere premium with the cheap ass aluminum and weird design.
Sadly the next gen will most probably stick with aluminum...
And the iPhone 20, its just a better material for phones tbh.
Now if they do a jet black like the iPhone 7 or Apple Watch, then the game is on.
Stone and wood would be a deadly combo.
Well I'm torn. I think orange looks better as I'm not a big fan of the difference between the colour of the alu and the ceramic shield. Certain light seems to make it much more obvious but I think the difference on the silver makes it look a bit cheap. Personal preference of course.
I've got the silver and wife has orange. Haven't really done anything with either phone yet though.

My Orange won't be here for another two weeks at least. Saw it in store. Very nice color. Love it. Bright orange and finally a bright shade for the Pro iPhone.
Lets be real...none of them look good. If you plan to use a case, then Silver is the best option and the most versatile with case colors etc. If going caseless, its a crapshoot. I feel like the non-Silver colors are going to be showing wear very easy (especially the blue).Well I'm torn.

The “cheap ass aluminum” that they use on all their iPads and Macs?
There is farrrr too much orange in my life, these days. lol
I honestly think it’s because it gives off a bead blasted look the silver. Makes it look like a pot metal. The random white glass on the back isn’t helping it either.
They look fine to me. If they didn't tell you what it was made out of...

Silver it is since I want a white phone and this is what we have to choose from haha. Orange is cool, I just don't want to see that color 24/7. I'll just have to pretend the air doesn't exist when I go pick my pro.
