I’ve only had my iPhone 11 Pro Max phone since this past Tuesday afternoon. Every day since, I’ve been asked by at least one person who sees me on my phone some version of “Is that the new iPhone? Oh wow! How do you like it? Is it really good?” First off, I don’t have the Midnight Green version. Mine is Silver (the best color). I’m 100% certain that the contrast between the camera lenses and the pearl white back are the key differentiator that is catching people’s eye.

So for those of you who are wrapped up making sure people notice your new iPhone, well, you should have bought the Silver, or maybe even the Gold... Personally, I’ve started hiding my phone. I’m a bit of an introvert (more like an ambivert actually) and the attention is concerning to me. Feeling like I should be on my guard or something. Maybe I should book a talk session about this...

Okay, so all jokes aside, anyone else experiencing this? Kind of funny and very unexpected, because I’ve already received more asks in the past few days then for the full time I owned the XS Max, and it was the new Gold. It’s routinely posted here that no one notices new iPhones in the wild. I would have agreed before, but this year with the “weird” camera block and lens set up, the 11 Pro/Max is definitely getting noticed.

I usually get space gray, but I just got the silver 11 pro since it looks sooooo good this time around. I'm the same as you, kinda introverted and don't want the attention. Maybe I should have got space gray again 😂

Haha! Yes, Space Grey is low key, but also mysterious in its own way. A Dark Knight or vampire vibe. Take your pic.
 
I have the gold 11 Pro, and I think it’ll be recognisable ‘in the wild’ because of the cameras. They sure do stand out more on the gold and silver phones :D

Good choice. I almost got my XS Max in gold last year, but I changed my mind last minute because I usually always get black/space gray and I was afraid I’d get sick of the gold color after the novelty wore off. I was wrong. A year later and that’s still my only regret about buying the phone: not getting the gorgeous gold.
 
I got the space grey pro max and nobody has noticed it but i am also introverted a bit so happier not to be noticed
 
I've been asked about ten times in the past week, including gate staff at three airports both in Japan and the US, co-workers and family, etc. Silver iPhone 11 Pro Max here, caseless.
