iPhone 11 Pro Please help me decide - Silver or Midnight Green 11 Pro Max?

Go with whatever you like more. Don't follow trends and get the other color just because everyone else is getting the new one.

Midnight Green is fresh and new, Silver is classy and can be polished (if you have scratches).

I had the same dilemma between these 2 same colours. I ended up going with Midnight Green as it’s a nice change from my usual Gold and Silver devices. All colours look fantastic IMO. I will get the Silver for my wife in the near future 😜. I didn’t want to worry about buffing out the scratches with a Cape Cod Cloth on the SS borders of the silver. My son has the Silver iPhone X in a case from day one and has tons of micro scratches on the SS borders which annoys the heck out of my OCD 🤷🏻‍♂️.

thanks for the thread OP, really enjoyed other peoples perspective and opinions 👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻

I was waiting for a reply like this, I'm actually quite surprised it took this long.

If you took a minute to read my replies you would have seen that I said I've gone to see them in person several times. I just wanted some unbiased opinions from a forum of members who's opinions I respect.

To be honest it was the replies on this forum that made me choose Silver (accessorizing cases will be easier).
I guess a better question would be the subject was pretty clear, why did you open the thread in the first place? You clearly didn't want to contribute positively to the conversation so why bother joining it in the first place? I don't understand people like you, but maybe that's a good thing.

Anyways, maybe you need some fresh air or a nice long walk to gain some perspective. Life's too short to be spewing negativity on an online forum for Apple enthusiasts who like to chat about their affection for Apple products.

To the rest of you, thanks for your kind words and helpful advice. Very much appreciated.

My point still stands. It’s only your choice that matters as you are the one using your phone.

Update: I went with Silver! 😃

Congrats & enjoy.

No choice is a wrong choice. Glad we helped narrow that down.

There’s nothing wrong with asking for opinions because sometimes light is shed on something you were not aware of, if you had not asked.

The 11 Pro Max is my first large display and I love it.

How long have you had it for? Unless you’ve got huge hands, it becomes a right pain. I couldn’t handle the size anymore and went with the normal size this time around.

I have a medium to slightly larger hands. The first week there was a little bit discomfort. I do feel the extra width, it’s not unwieldy as it was before, in 2 weeks I’m used to it.

A few times when I looked at the phone, it looked like my X....I’m starting to get used to this being the size of a display.

When I see my sons 11 Pro in his hands it looks too small now. I’ll deal with the Max IF the Nightingale affect goes away. Don’t plan on that happening anytime soon as it’s ok in my pocket too.

What I felt unsure about at first, I am now confident I won’t be having a problem with the Max’s width now.

i have small hands, and I’ve had large phones since the 6 Plus with no discomfort. I know that some people do have pain or just don’t like it, but you don’t have to have huge hands to use and enjoy the Max without discomfort.

Yeah, I never quite understand why some people want to be rude.

How hard can it be? They don’t have anything useful to contribute, so they just leave it alone.

They could have done something absolutely mental and climbed down off their high horse. I know that sounds ridiculous though.

I’m glad you like the silver: it’s beautiful.

yup. Also want to chip in. It’s what you like and want. There was someone in another thread saying how they got the midnight green and looked forward to flexing it in public despite the fact they didn't even like green.

I'll admit the glamour of Midnight Green and how new/fresh it was, caught my eye at the start myself. But deep down I knew I wasn't a 'green' person (just never been particularly fond of the colour green, unlike say blue) and that I might possibly have regrets some time down the line when the novelty wears off. So I went with the Space Grey as it's not only 'safe' but also, I absolutely love how it matches my MacBook Pro Space Grey! And how otherwise, how sleek and smart it looks. I know I'll still be happy with it in 2 years, just as I'm still happy with my 2 year old SG MacBook Pro. And I can always just 'visit' a Midnight Green iPhone at the Apple Store to have a look at whenever I feel like.

Basically, tl;dr, get the one you like Only you know deep down which one you prefer. I read your earlier update you got Silver - congrats, enjoy!

I have gone Space Grey 6, 6s plus, matte black 7 plus, space grey X, space grey Xs Max, but decided to go midnight green 11 Pro Max. I wasn't sure if I'd regret it, have been very happy with it. It looks grey at times and green depending on light and angle.

Late to the party, I was going to say flip a coin and you feel like retrying get the other

Fair enough if it works for you. I gave it a go with the 8 plus and Xs Max but could never get used to the size, so back to the normal size 11 Pro now. Much better in hand feeling for me.

Midnight green. It's a really unusual colour and looks more black in real life. And also it shows that you have the latest and greatest (if that's important).

Silver is great too, though I think you notice the body of the phone more with lighter colours than you do with the darker ones.

yep, gotta go with what fits you. I’m glad you like the Pro
