I’m one of those that wishes the Blue pro was the colour of the 12 just order that navy/darker blue

But nice to have something different than black which I’ve had every year bar white once

I had a gold and white 6S before I got the black XR. I’m heavily considering the blue 12 or pacific blue 12 pro . You do you and stop worrying about what others think.

Honestly it’s quite silly to be asking if a shade of blue isn’t manly enough.

Pacific Blue is literally the most masculine color I can think of, aside from black/gray.
Black is a color for anyone, not specifically masculine. Most women own a “little black dress” black handbag, black shoes, etc. I think everyone should go with the color that pleases them the most. Anyone that would judge someone based on their choice of phone color has some serious problems imho. I was planning on ordering the Max in black, but then I found out it wasn’t going to be an option this year. 🤨

Blue for this guy! I’ve had white/silver, black, space gray, rose gold, gold, and midnight green, and I don’t cover my phones with cases. My male boss had a lime green 5c, and we’re a bunch of accountants. 😃

I’ve never seen or heard anyone question anyone’s phone color choice in a professional setting (or any setting, for that matter).

Buy what you like and don't worry about what you think others might think.
 
Color isn't/shouldn't be gender specific. I personally ordered pacific blue and didn't think twice about it. My previous phones (and past and current apple watches) have mostly been rose gold and pink. Never bothered me once.
 
I’ve ordered a blue one and it will be my first non-black/grey phone.

Fancied a change and thought the blue looked quite nice. It should match all the blue clothes I wear too 😉
 
Im gonna say this again, I really miss the hands-on pictures that come after the event. I wish Apple had brought in a couple of people to do just that. Or even done it themselves. I think seeing the colors in the media pictures would have been very helpful to a lot of people wondering about the color changes this year. Even the new Geaphite seems to be much different than last year
 
Since when is blue not a color of „guys“? I am getting the blue one but that has nothing to do with gender. In fact pink used to be a color of boys back in the day

Yep. Back in the 1970s I attended my high school prom and my own wedding with a white tux with black piping and a pink shirt. What color do people usually use for male gender reveals before burning down half the forest?
