OK, so here is the most first-world-problem post of them all!
Assuming the details of the rumors we've heard so far are true, there's essentially a black, silver and product(RED) version. So WHAT COLOR AM I GOING TO GET????
(1) I am not a fan of the phones with the white fronts. I like that on a black front, when the screen is off it looks like one continuous sheet of glass, and not a screen within a frame. It kind of looks that way when the screen is on, honestly, especially in Dark Mode.
So the silver is probably out. In fact it's almost definitely out. The product(RED) iPhone 8 had a black front, so that's potentially in!
(2) I used to care what color the body was when I didn't use cases. One of the (smaller) reasons I loved my blue iPhone 5c so much (I am catching up on the Netflix show Grace and Frankie, and it's a little thrill each time Jane Fonda picks up her phone). But now that I use a case I generally don't care...
BUT...
The case I am hoping to get is one that looks like a baseball, with stitching and everything. Assuming the SE/9 takes iPhone 8 cases. And this case might expose the sides just a little bit. So any flashes of red would go with the red stitching. To take that to its logical conclusion I should get a white-fronted phone, but rule (1) takes precedence.
(3) Red is not my usual color though. That's blue. My GIRLFRIEND'S color is red. Her iPad has a red cover, mine a blue. Her iPhones traditionally have red-accented cases, mine otherwise. Am I bogarting my partner's color? Hmmm...
So it's down to black (excuse me, "Space Gray" maybe) and product(RED). What to do, what to do, what to do...
I'm an adult, I shouldn't be thinking this hard about this. But I haven't purchased a new phone in four years, and who knows it might be another four years before my next one. Could be my only phone purchase in an eight-year span! I'm allowing myself to be a little giddy.
