New Photos Offer Better Look at iPhone 12 Color Options

Wow, I'm really unhappy with the regular iPhone 12 blue colour. Apple's renderings are WAY OFF. Mine arrives on Friday and I really don't want it anymore. Apple renders look navy matt but the hands on shots look like bright blue plastic!

Yep, definitely going for the black or even white version.

They outdid themselves this year with the cheapness of the color palette of the cheaper iPhones :-\

Totally agree. That why I going with the default color Black for my iPhone 12 Mini!

Ok guys, so I picked up my 12 Pro Pacific Blue yesterday, and it’s beautiful. However, the colour / color of the band on the graphite does look lighter and I much prefer it. In most light, the band on the pacific blue looks kind of black


I’ve just reserved the graphite today so I can make my mind up over a few days.

The blue camera part matches the blue silicone case nicely, but I like the contrast of the graphite lens, in the blue MagSafe case.

Iphone 12 in blue does look much better in person... I actually like the matte sides...

I don't understand why Apple cannot (or will not) deliver a satisfyingly piano black Pro device and instead make these washed out grey-ish variations each year. Be it "space grey" or "graphite" or "Federighi hair" or whatnot, they keep getting lighter instead of darker. I'd just love to have a Darth Vadery black Pro phone, like the space black stainless steel Watch (that they bafflingly killed too except for the Hermes option). I don't think I'm the only one.

As for the 12 phones, they look like Lego bricks.

I'm not sure why Apple can't (or won't) produce a satisfyingly piano black Pro device every year, choosing instead for these washed-out grey-ish versions. Whether it's "space grey" or "graphite" or "Federighi hair" or whatever, they keep getting lighter instead of darker. I'd love a black Pro phone inspired by Darth Vader, comparable to the space black stainless steel Watch (that they bafflingly killed too except for the Hermes option). I don't think I'm the only one that feels this way.

Glossy piano-black is a fingerprint and smudge magnet. It's true on phones, car dashboards, and Darth Vader's helmet.
