Close? Sure. But it’s still not Black. LolI think the “there’s no Black” crowd are being a bit silly. We’ve had weird greys and near blacks before, and the new “Blue” looks close to iPhone 5 Slate. It will look cool Black in most scenarios:

In the past black when there was the forehead and chin on the front display black was always more ideal because it would be less distracting when viewing. Even now, with a full screen, the edges of light color bother me, which is why I always go black still.
Yet I'm Dutch and love that orange (see how nationality doesn't have anything to do with it)
Sorry, didn't know I wasn't allowed to have a different opinion from yours. How bad of me, please accept my apologies.
I don't think that's a viable alternative for people that have been getting the Pro's for the past few years. Only one camera, smaller battery. And it might get pretty hot as well with everything crammed in there and the titanium edge.
maybe I just missed people saying “there’s no black” during the years we had Midnight and Grey schemes that were arguably a further percentage away from Black on a spectrum scale than this year’s darkest color
Just shame that the silver had a stupid white back. If they made that glass darker it would have fitted in, the lighter version is horrendous in my opinion.Based on what I’ve seen, the Deep Blue model—the darkest color in the lineup—scratches up quite easily, even from day one. I can only imagine how much worse it would look over time if they made the Pros in black. That’s why I’m going with the Silver this year
Many people would argue that black makes a device look clean, professional, and not like a toy. I personally find this to be a really dumb argument, but some men even feel that lighter colours like white or more vibrant colours are less masculine.
The Pro phones have always been without a true black model compared to the others. Every Pro's "black" has always actually been various shades of dark gray.
Damn. It's like iphone 5 anodized issues all over again. Yeah that chipping gonna be annoying.Based on what I’ve seen, the Deep Blue model—the darkest color in the lineup—gets chipped quite easily, even from day one. I can only imagine how much worse it would look over time if they made the Pros in black. That’s why I’m going with the Silver this year
Same for me, always black. We will go silver PM this year. I case it anyway. iPhones are too slippery without a case for grip.I was ready to move from mini to 17 pro but where the heck is the black color? I never choose any other color than black for my phones. I guess I am stuck with 13 mini for now then
Have you considered those Nomad Magnetic Back Case? I wonder if they improve the grip.
Just received my Apple clear case and it is NICE. Many of today’s cases make it hard to push the home and volume buttons and Apple did it right. Even the camera buttons is handled well. It is lite as a feather and very thin. It will show off my Silver 17 PM.
