iPhone XR Successor Could Replace Coral and Blue Options With Green and Lavender

So XR will come with a 6 pack of crayons, so you can color it in with the color of your choice?
The kids will love that!! :p

I guess one day someone will invent the technology to be able to change the color of your device with the click of a button or whatever.

I bought the legit silicon case a few months ago for my XS Max and it is already chipping on the edges down to the plastic. Meanwhile my 2,99€ copy from Ali still looks new on my 7 Plus. Pathetic for its price

Hey that's exactly my situation! I have had all the iPhones, never had case, dropped them several times each, all fine, except the 6 that once shattered. #TeamNoCase

I always buy a transparent gel case. They are really cheap. You can see the phone in all its beauty. You can grip the phone without fear of dropping it. The back is completely protected, the front is a bit protected because the case extends over the glass. So it's safe to lay the phone face down, and it will survive a drop unless you drop it face down on rough concrete (even a marble floor should be fine).

Since there’s not much else than the extra camera lens to differentiate this year’s iPhone 11/11 Max, more colors would make sense and would probably be a big factor in people’s decision to purchase one.

I think it’s not possible to achieve multi colours with the stainless steel frame on the top range models.It’ll probably be the same three colours again.

I just don't get all the color schemes. If you value your iDevice, the first thing you do after unwrapping it is put a shatter-proof case on it, thereby hiding all that glorious "color" (and hopefully the Apple logo on the back, too). Unless, of course,you get your jollies with scratches and cracked screens.

Clear case.

I've used iPhones for over 10 years, I only ever had trouble with the iPhone 6 (whose screen I had replace once due to it getting shattered in an accidental drop). No other repairs ever needed, and I never used a case. Buying five cases might have easily cost me more than it cost me to replace the screen once.

So, no, you don't have buy a case if you value your iOS device. You just have to treat it right.

The glass backed phones need a case IMO, due to the costs involved in replacing.
 
I assume with the dual lens setup on the next XR it gets full portrait mode abilities, so I also assume any hope of a software patch for current XR users getting a more usable portrait mode is out the window.
[doublepost=1557612691][/doublepost]To those talking about colors, I went with black, but honestly, I would have done blue or coral after seeing both out in the wild. I love the color options. The gold XS models do look expensive but the XR looks more interesting. Obviously biased here, but I think the XR is one of the best looking iPhone models since the Jet Black 7 Plus

Color finish of White, Blue, Yellow and Coral XR are really subpar. They lacks depth and richness.

agree.

its not only about colour.

it is about depth. etc.

its about what the blues in the BMW colour do to "blue".
its about what the red in the Product Red iPhone Xr draws us into.
its why iPhone c was, to me, a "fun" phone, but if apple wanted to make it into a serious phone with appeal for more than its price and size, it would have had a more serious marketing strategy.
its why iPhone Xr appeals for price and size.
 
When I started using Apple in the 80's it was called Apple Computers I think. Now it might be Shallow Apple.

I'd rather it cost $500 or less rather than have any special set of colors.

Indeed.
Other manufacturers have edge-to-edge displays that cost much less than the XR.
Meanwhile, if you want a $500 iPhone, you're looking at a 3 year old bezelled iPhone 7.

I think you'll find most of the opposition to having colour choices on these boards are just underhanded jabs at Tim Cook for.. reasons.

Anyone on these boards probably knows I don't think he's a great CEO. But attacking him over colour choices is just low. We know why they're doing it, and its stinks

Anyone speaking ill on colour choices ignores the realtiy that

Apple has a long history of colour choices.
Mr Cook is not likely seriously involved in the colour choice, other than likely a final approval over "yes or NO' for specific colours (and probably based more on costs, than colours themselves)

Bring on more colours. Bring on the whole rainbow.

I'll still by black phones myself, cause that MY thing, but, I love seeing all the colourful devices in the wild

No idea what this would have to do with Tim Cook. Jobs was dancing through chromatic fields while Cook was still counting beans.

I'm just sad that Apple's recent choices aren't this vibrant. It's like the set of Star Trek: The Motion Picture over there now.

I doubt they’d get rid of blue. It seems to be one of the more popular colors.

Came here to say this. I actually liked the Coral color too, as salmon and pinky as it was, it was also strangely orange and red in its own way, a unique color. And blue is universally most people’s favorite color, and happens to be the color of the 5C I chose when I had that model back in the day.

I detest green and lavender is basically just a pastel purple, another color I don’t like.

#firstworldproblems but I don’t see how this makes much sense. I’d replace yellow and add in green. Add no purple.

Only if the frequency of the user damaging the glass back is higher than maybe once every five years. Incidentally, the glass back also makes the phone less slippery (compared to phones with an aluminium back), thus reducing the frequency of drops at the same time as it increases the cost that a 'fatal' drop incurs.

BTW, do expensive camera lenses ($1000+) also need a protective case while being used? And how many people actually use their cameras (whether fixed-lens or interchangeable lens ones) with a protective case?

a purplish iPhone ? yuk.. The green doesn't sound any better either. Give me the Blue one anyday
 
I always get the white version for everything, or the space grey version for pro machines.

Using phone in a case is like kissing through glass.
