My wife and son got the pacific blue, I got graphite. IMO, they're both great colors and both look really classy. I got graphite because I still enjoy the black/close-to-black colors for my electronic devices. My wife/son got blue because they like using different colors.So this is turning out to be a far more difficult decision than i thought. I kinda like both, I am leaning toward blue mainly cause I am so tired of the same old dark gray color. what did you people get? And why
I always was confused between the Pacific blue and the Graphite color.
I can make it simple for you but my opinion is just mine as everyone has different tastes in they way they use their phones.
I normally like to choose a phone color which will allow me to swap cases often. I normally change my cases weekly so that I don’t get bored with just one look for a long time.
I do the same for the dBrand skins. I have not bought any skins yet because I am waiting for the Black Friday deals to start later this month. I am in no rush for the skins because I will use the skins with the Apple leather sleeve later.
Anyway, I find the Graphite color matches most colored cases easier while the Pacific Blue looks best with a blue or a clear case. This is my opinion.
I want to use MagSafe and if I will be stuck using just a blue case or the ugly clear case from Apple for 1 year, then I will be bored of the same look through out the year.
I went with the Graphite color phone because it goes well with various colors and the graphite is not really space gray. For me my previous 3 iPhones were silver and gold so Graphite was just perfect. I got the Cyprus green and Baltic blue cases already and will get a couple of more cases later.
When we look at the skins from dBrand, you can go to their site and compare how the skins will look with a graphite or pacific blue phone. You will realize how nice the skins will look with the graphite phone but not so great with the pacific blue. This is again my opinion only.
If I was to use the Pacific Blue phone I would be stuck with 3 options
1) clear case
2) Baltic blue or navy blue case from Apple
3) get a clear skin for the phone to use with the Apple Sleeve
Now that I have the graphite phone I have more options
1) Cyprus green, plum or black silicon case from Apple
2) Baltic blue, black or brown leather case from Apple
3) clean case
4) 4 to 5 skin options to use with the Apple Leather sleeve.
I am happy with my choice and I know I will not be bored with my phones look until iPhone 13 Pro Max releases next year in September 2021. Yes, this time we have less than a year because next year there will probably not be a delay in production due.
There is one more thing you have to consider when getting the Pacific Blue. Since many people are getting the Pacific Blue then it will look common soon. Lets say in a room full of 15 guys and 13 of them get the Pacific Blue. Then soon you will release that the color you chose is not all that special because many have it. It is not a big deal but just trying to show the special color will soon not feel so special after all.
This is why we use cases and skins to give the phone a special look. It is not so easy to customize with the Pacific Blue.
Have you seen pictures of how the Pacific Blue phones look with scratches on them? It is something to consider.
Is it be or the more I look at the Pacific Blue, the more it makes me remember of the green from the iPhone 11 Pro / Max. In all honesty, the Pacific Blue is actually “Teal”.
No matter what, it is a popular color and this time round even the ladies are choosing the color. If you think you got a unique color, you have to think twice. The chances are that when walking down the street, you could possibly find another person with the IPhone 12 Pro Pacific Blue.
The pacific blue looks awesome it’s a clear case of when carried without a case but once you put a case on it, the camera cut out will start to look odd without a matching case. That Blue green color, doesn’t tho well with many colors.
I feel the opposite. The graphite goes best with all the skins.Thanks for the heads-up on dbrand - those are some nice looking skins. I went to that sight and tried all the skins on Pacific Blue and Graphite. On almost all of them I preferred the blue.
