Brown?!? No - I'm thinking there's going to be a black with gold/copper around the edge, similar to the announcement. That's why the sim tray would be that copper-ish color.
Nothing wrong with brown. Brown > white in my opinion.

Brown? Hopefully it's at least more of a copper?

What fun is that? ;)
Copper is tacky. Brown has more of a homely natural feel to it. Like leather boots and tabletops.

Brown?

Either fake rumor, or Tim Cooke’s Apple is beginning to suck beyond recognition. What would be next, even thinner and crappies keyboards?

My guess is it’s fake. Apple isn’t going to Zune Country.

It will be brown, but maybe called "Space Bronze" which sells better ;)

They may call it Copper if it has a metallic shine, but brown is more popular than most people think. But it is the word brown which easily is associated with poop. So marketers usually call it or qualify it coffee, chocolate, leather, nut, coconut, chestnut, honey, clay, whisky, cognac, fawn, ochre, mahogany, terra etc. depending on the shade.
A dark brown color could look great together with a leather case as an example.

To heck with these colors. Apple needs to rock Blue Dalmatian and Flower Power again. Wouldn't mind the candy colors too. Apple's gotten stuck in a rut with the minimalist look.

i think a glossy brown colour would look pretty cool and different. brown is one of the few colours you don't see very often on tech
 
Very uninspiring color options. New Sony XZ3 has drooling petroleum/green, purple and pearl white.

Brown will probably just be a tweaked golf variant (like copper/rust) and quite honestly it might be the sleekest aside from space grey.

Still probably will sit this cycle out but the gold in the past has just been *too* vibrant so a toned down/deeper color might be the sweet spot.

*remember the initial X leaks with that “copper” version; sounds like Apple finally reached the color they were looking for so interested to see :)
 
The colours of the iPhones will be those of the cases you have to put these damn fragile things in anyway.

Apple would never name an iPhone Xs Max. :rolleyes:

Since anodizing is a relatively simple process these days, I am amazed Apple hasn't cashed in and offered BTO color options similar to some premium automakers. You have a color code, they make it that color, and you can choose from a more limited screen border color selection that could easily be pre-made.
