iPhone 18 Pro May Drop Rear Two-Tone Appearance for a Unified Look

[LionTeeth]

It's so easy to make a good looking phone all Apple needs is a good design team. I can hardly believe the same team that designed the Air also designed the ugly 17 pro.

I don't think it was the same team. They clearly put their A players on the Air dev team. Interns and leftovers ran the Pro.

I don't know about that frankly. Your sig is funny because it's true btw. I will say no more.

I don't believe the 17 Pro two-tone look is related to some of QC issues (such as pink-ification), but rather it was a conscious aesthetic choice to highlight the change in material, like white plastic selected to compliment silver aluminium instead of silver plastic trying to hide it. Apple will sometimes compliment adjacent material colours (white with silver), they can contrast (black with silver) and other times they will chose to blend (grey with silver).

Seems like you replied to the wrong person. My comment was about the frame structure.

For sure the near future lineup was already planned (and approved) by Jobs.

He might have indeed approved them, but at the same time he might have not. We would never know for sure now. 😅

Nobody knows for sure, but considering how a control maniac he was, it is hard to believe he did not 😅

LOL, the case on my 17PM covers this perfectly, so don't give a rats ...

Or he may have rejected it and the design team decided to move forward with him gone from this world. Who knows. 😅
One thing for sure is that design is definitely questionable.

The two tone looks silly imo. Reminds me of adding a race stripe to a prius to make it look faster. The 17Pro is just not appealing to me i suppose. Feels like the perfect iPhone if you have a cyber truck.

you’re probably right, I will be deleting nothing lol

It makes it look cheap but cases cover it anyway.

A case... for the iMac? And uh, I haven't used a case on my iPhone in many years.

makes the pro look cheap. I mac looked interesting when it was new, but the pastel worked better in some hues than others.

I always put my phones in cases, and now without bezels or a home button, I can’t really see the color of mine. I believe my 15MAX is a dark blue, but I have the denim blue case so it makes the camera bump look black anyway.

My wife has a magenta case with a pink 16 and they match perfectly.
