I have to say from the photos and videos I’ve watched I think the green looks a bit yuck, but it’s best to see it in the flesh. I certainly wouldn’t pre-order a coloured device I hadn’t experienced first hand.
Seriously? Who cares what someone else thinks? God forbid you're not using "this year's" iPhone, you'll be banished from society.
Yeah I read that and thought it was rather sad. Fashion victim lead by peer pressure maybe lol.

I always get he black/space grey phone. Last year I bought the black XR and was upset I didn’t get the white.

Now here I am torn between the space grey or silver 11 pro.

To all the people bullying me what’s wrong with you? I believe the iPhone is also a fashion accessory and statement so I like people to notice that I have the latest one everywhere I go. Anyway, I ordered an AWS5 in silver, not sure if it goes well with the green. I may end up getting the silver finish after all (perfect match) but I’m afraid that I regret it afterwards because midnight green is the new color that everyone’s gonna want.

Me too, I'm undecided this year between the two myself. I'd love to see a space grey/black version with the unfinished stainless steel frame of the silver model.

Annnnnndddddddd..... there we go.... no one is BULLYING you. It's so disgusting the way people OVERUSE that term to mean anytime someone contradicts your own thoughts or beliefs or points out a flaw.

SMDH.... bullying... UGH UGH UGH! NO. That's so NOT what's happening here.... You don't know or understand bullying if you think people telling you like it is, is bullying. No self-respecting adult would consider any post in this thread as bullying.

Based on your apparent definition of bullying... you are now bullying all of US who disagreed with you.

Maybe avoid the use of caps to avoid people taking things in ways you didn’t intend.
 
I’m torn between the new color and the gold finish. Even though I don’t like green, everyone will know you have the latest and greatest iPhone just by looking at it. That may be one reason to choose it over previous years gold. What will be your choice and why?

Umm, wouldn't the 3 camera setup be a dead giveaway no matter what color anyone chooses? Probably even more than the green color since in reality it is very close to the black.

I'm torn on how the green looks... in some pics it looks more like the current model's green case (which I love..) but in some pictures it looks more "tactical" green... which I also love! lol! Camo is so in right now (SO shocked in macy*s last weekend that the whole danged store was various patterns and colors of CAMO! I'm in heaven fashion wise right now!)

not to mention if it's in a case other than clear.... that small area around the camera is all the green you'll see (and from any distance is going to look black, as you said)

If you mean using caps to emphasize a point... I did intend that just as I intended the italics. Unless you meant the capitalization of us... meaning us posters....

I just find it sad that you can't say ANYTHING these days without being accused of... something.....
 
UGH! So you're one of those kinds of people that have to show off "look what I've got!? UGH! Just UGH!

WHO CARES if others know you have the latest and greatest phone! Not to mention... how DUMB is it to buy a color yout don't even like just to SHOW OFF!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

With the exception of the pink phone I've always bought black... because I LIKE BLACK PHONES. And I usually put a pink case or polka dots. Last year I actually bought the GREEN leather case BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE COLOR WAS HOT!

This year I'm ordering the GREEN phone BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY. I don't GAF if people know or realize I have a brand new model phone...

UGH.... GROW UP.

Apple's Saddle case will compliment the green nicely. All the others (blue, black, red.... etc....) notsomuch.

The juxtaposition of these two posts in the same thread HAS ME USING CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!

In actual practice, though, and this is just out of curiosity, not judgement, do you find that people even notice if you have the newest phone?

I like getting the the newest colors I've never had or seen before, too. But I do genuinely have to like them for their own sake, not just because they're new or would be in demand. I'm the one who will ge looking at it all the time after all, not people in passing.

I'm having a hard time telling from the photos and videos if green would be a color I'd like or not. I think I'd also have a hard time getting it to go nicely with accessories I already own.

I am not even sure I'll be able to use one. Apple OLED displays have been triggering migraines in me for a couple of years now. I've read rumors they're using the Note display without any alterations but so far most of the rumors that preceded this phone's debut have been false except for the camera bump and a few other things.

ya... I can see that... but the second comment you quoted was based on the guy that said the green was yuck... I was defending the green for those that LIKE the green. gosh... did he bully me by calling the color I like yuck? lol! J/K!

OP, your post states that you do not like green, but you'd buy one just to fit in. Folks here responded to your question and right away you come back with you're being bullied? Seriously, you're on a tech forum, not Vogue's forums. Folks here don't feel the need to keep up with the Kardashians

I only buy the newest colors when they are colors that I, personally, like. I've never bought a gold phone because i'm more of a platinum/white gold kind of person. I bought rose gold because I adore pink. I usually get black or grey because I wear a lot of black and grey and when I add a pink case it looks good. Last year I fell in love with the green case. Still love my green case. I never bought gold just so I could say "hey look at me... I've got the newest color iPhone."

Yeah I'd think that would get old fast, getting a color that you're not invested in, personally.

Though I did get a yellow Xr and even though I loved the color at first, unfortunately the novelty has worn off. I like the back panel well enough, but I don't like how the sides look, sort of a messed up gold than a yellow.

I can't be sure from the photos, but i think they did a nicer job on the yellow iPhone 11 on all sides this year.

100% right, I don't gave a flying f*** what others think, I do what's best for me. While I like that there's a new color introduced, it's just not for me. Why not the color assortment the XR and now the 11 for the "premium" eh Pro models? Looks like Space Gray again for me, LOL. Sorry that was capitalized, I was emotional.

If the phone is dark green like last year's case... i'll look like I still have last year's phone (the horrors! haha!) if it's more like a military camo green... i'll be right in style at the range! win win!

Uh, why is this important to you?
[doublepost=1568226731][/doublepost]
Space Gray. I'm boring. I wouldn't be surprised if there are shipping delays of the green because it'll be so popular.
You aren't boring! Shut up. Its timeless and it goes with everything! Which is why I always go with black. Not that it really matters at the end of the day since I always have a case on.

Same here. Would love to see that option!

I have a feeling I’m going to do the same thing as usual. Tell myself I should try the white/silver and end up ordering the space grey. Haha

Anyone know where I can find some high res/quality photos of the midnight green iPhone? I'm having a tough time getting a feel for the color by the pics on Apple's site.

All of the videos/photos are taken in a room with artificial lighting. We have to wait and see people actually reviewing it to better judge the color, but I think it will be pretty similar like the one on the site.
 
I can't believe I selected a green phone in my pre-approval but the green on the 11 Pro looks slick.
 
You don’t like the green, but want it because everyone know you’ll have the latest. Can we say clout chaser.
Not to mention who gives a crap! This isn’t 2007 anymore...:rolleyes:

Ha! Can’t wait to see the pics of the first %#$! ... camping at the store! Sheesh!
