This color seriously should have been released back in September 2021 with the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max launch.
Yeah, it would be nice to be able to pick from the full gamut of colors at initial launch. The mid-cycle color bump is kinda weird. I'm sure the bean counters have run all the numbers and doing so must prove ridiculously profitable. It's not like after the Sept. release, the design team was like "Hey, I have an idea. What about green?" Green was ready on day one. 😜
 
Love the Pro Green, would have bought it last year over whatever I got, black or whatever they are calling the gray iPhone color these days. Will I sell it, at a loss, and buy a green 13 half-way through the year? Absolutely not. I'll probably have this phone for 2-3 years. Maybe someone will make a greenish case to match the phone that will look nice on my black/gray phone.
 
i’ll take the sides being covered in fingerprints versus the entire back of the phone
I mention a ‘frameless’ style case as it means the back’s covered, but the sides can still be seen:

My own preference but I find that regular iPhone 13 green absolutely ugly in these pictures.

The 13 pro alpine green is nicer and overall looks good, but still not as nice as the more dark and subdued midnight green of the 11 pro which was just the perfect green metallic colour imo
 
What's the difference between "Alpine Green" and "Midnight Green?" It is a slick color though. Wish my 12 Pro came in it.
 
Do you think no one buys an iPhone from March to September? People buy when they want to buy, most have no idea about launch dates and changing color options.
Of course, this should mainly be to incentivize new purchases. Still, I know there are a few iPhone fans that will upgrade to get a new color at any cost.

Nothing special here, they already done it before with midnight green on the 11 Pro. They should have try something different.
 
i previously owned the 11Max Pro midnight green and found a case to match the colour at that time but when I upgraded to the 13 Max Pro went for the space grey as I was not keen on the blue. This new green look very similar but alas too late fir me .
 
The Blue iPhone 12 Pro is so beautiful, it’s actually the main reason I didn’t buy the iPhone 13 Pro, it was either greyish black or the baby blue and neither was appealing… So I looked at my beautiful 12 Pro and decided not waste the money and keep it another year.

I hope they bring back the 12 Pro’s midnight blue (or whatever it’s called) or a proper black for the iPhone 14 Pro.
