I'm getting a Pro Max tomorrow and I'm still struggling on what colour to get. I'm usually a Space Grey guy but this year I've narrowed it down to the Silver or Midnight Green. Any thoughts? I know it's personal preference, but I'm so on the fence about it.

Thanks!

I vote Silver because A) it is sleek, clean, the camera lenses are striking, and the contrast to the black screen is crisp B) everyone and their brother's dog raced to get midnight green because it was the new color. Be different, stand out, etc. Either way, at the end of the day, you are going to own an amazing piece of tech. Best wishes.

I’m going to vote for silver if you use a case, IMO it has the nicest looking camera cut out. If naked I’d go midnight green.

I wanted MG too. My favorite case is black. I thought the green camera showing on back would clash too much, so I went SG.

So if your OCD about things like that, it’s something to think about.

If I didn’t want the specific case with 2 plastic card holder in the Spigen CS Slim Armour I would have went MG with matching case like the Totalle.

I've previously owned space grey iPhones. Went with the silver 11 pro this time because it's just so damn beautiful.

Get the silver if you want a nice clean and classic look. Midnight green if you're bolder.

If you haven’t done so, go to the store and check it out yourself prior to making decisions.

My iPhone X was silver, but I decided not to get one this time because if you use a case the camera module will stand out too much.

Plus if you use it to take pictures, it can be too reflective in some situations (like shooting through the window).

I looked at MG - it’s a nice color, but I liked SG better. I didn’t like SG on X because it was a fingerprint magnet, but matte finish makes a difference this year.

Go Silver. Midnight Green is so underated everyone is taking it. There was a survey here showing that more than 50% chose the Green! Don't be like them, be different and better.

I have owned a lot of iPhones (this is my 9th). I have always had black or silver iPhones. For the 11 Pro Max I went midnight green and a clear case. I love it! Go green

Had owned silver iPhones for years so decided to try MG. Happy I did, it's a really pretty colour and I like the feeling of the PVD coated band vs the plain stainless on the silver, makes the phone a bit grippier. I use it caseless, I think the green camera is more difficult to match with a case if you do use one.

I was on the same boat. Got both silver and MG initially and ended up keeping the MG. I honestly prefer the silver color and the feeling of raw stainless steel. However, since I use my phone naked, I already got bunch of micro scratches on the silver band during the one week of ownership. I know you can buff them out but I don’t feel like going through the hassle on an on-going basis. I owned the XS in SG and know the coating on the band is pretty durable. At the end, they are both great colors, it just depends on your preference and usage.

I originally went with MG pro max, it was too dull for me, changed to a silver pro max. Couldn't be happier. Love it with my saddle brown leather case.

I haven't went yet. They are both in stock at my local store. I'm leaning towards Silver though. I have went several times to see them in person and both are great. I've been using a Space Grey for the 8 Plus, X, XS Max so I think a more drastic change will be nice for me.

If you're buying a Pro the correct answer is a non-max silver with brown leather case. Thread closed. You're welcome.
