I have a feeling the green one is going to be first to sell out on pre-order day. I’m torn between the green and gray personally. I’ve had the gold XSM for the past year and loved the accent with the TOZO gray case but I’m ready for a change this year. I love the gold because it doesn’t show as many fingerprints and dust around the camera/volume buttons not as many scratches around the lightning port. But the space gray matte has such a nice tone to it in the photos. Literally torn. #firstworldproblems

I bet that hurt :)

What color did you get?

Not sure why Apple didn't photograph it right. Looks so much better in person.

This. Online it looks ugly. In person, it looks really cool. The stainless steel looks almost chrome like. The back changes depending on lighting which is really cool and keeps it fresh.

ba-dum Ching!! lol

I went with the gold and don’t regret it (except for the screen always seems to have a different calibration tone than the other colors). I‘m not that in love with the green and the Space Gray is better looking than the green IMO. But I love the gold accents showing thru the cases that i use.
 
That was a big decision back in the day. The silver iPad had those giant white bezels. I made the same realization eventually.

The white bezels on the older devices are so damn ugly. I always went with the black/space grey option simply because I couldn’t stand the way the white bezels contrasted with the screen.

Another gold owner! I get the impression we’re quite rare across these parts :p

There is something so beautiful about the iPhone Pro Midnight Green finish. To me its so organic, earthy and elemental. When I first heard the rumors of this color - I was a bit skeptical. Now that I have seen Apples promo shots and hands on videos - I think its gorgeous.

Akin to Green Sea Glass.

Change my mind.

Midnight Green is not the color you're looking for
 
Silver is the best. It’s beautiful, classy, sleek, and sophisticated. Bonus is that it pairs well with many cases, no worries on color combinations.

But enjoy the MG if that is the color you love. If green was a favorite color, I would have gone for it. Whenever a deep/midnight/indigo blue is introduced, I will be all over it.

Midnight Green was the no brainer colour option for me because green is my favourite colour and I will always go for it when it’s a possibility.

But I can’t for the life of me understand why so many people bought it just because it was the new colour. Surely everybody knows in their own minds whether green is their thing? Furthermore, I don’t understand the regret & return threads.

This. I bought it because I liked how the color looks on the phone, you know, like a normal person. If you bought MG just because it's the new thing and ended up not liking it, that's all on you.
 
If I was going to buy an iPhone 11, I probably would get the Midnight Green version but that’s only because we don’t get iPhone 5 space grey anymore. That looked great, very classy too.

I’d say more grippy than slippery. I can lay it flat in my hand and turn my hand upwards quite a bit before it begins to slip.

Can I assume that you turn your hand upwards in 45-degree angle? Which one more grippy, this one or apple silicone case?
 
Must people put their iPhone in a case so nobody can really appreciate the color of the phone.
It’s unfortunate that the iPhone is not made more durable so that we don’t need a case

Then the phone case industry would have to go out of business, and that will never happen.
 
It looks like someone handled a Spacey Grey phone with dirty hands. It's pretty disgusting looking.
