Yeah the toy looking blue on the left - thats the one I already saw on display, not for me.
That matte PB on the right, it's really nice.
No idea how I missed it, I actually didn't notice the darker blue lens area until now!

This is why I really have to see it in person before I decide when going with Pro Max.It’s nice for sure... just too green for my liking.
Where has this description ‘toy blue’ come from? I’ve seen about 4 people use it on here now. It’s just a shade of blue, why ‘toy’? I haven’t heard the other blue referred to as ‘Nissan blue’ or some other random description.Yeah the toy looking blue on the left - thats the one I already saw on display, not for me.

I get the impression because it’s so popular but not available on the Pro, some feel they have to make a derogatory comment to make others feel crap about having it.They must be upset they didn’t purchase the toy blue iPhone once they’ve seen proper photos of it or seen it in person, happy it’s not Everton blue
Can’t wait for my toy blue iPhone arrive.
On a serious note, just about every YouTuber who has seen it in person says it’s a dark rich navy color, most of them say it’s the color to get.

Nice baseball! Game used?It is deeper than blue used on toys. It is more like Polo blue.

No team in Portland...Nice baseball! Game used?
Aaaah one of the places I wish would get a baseball team so I can watch a game there. I’ve been to a Timbers game tho.No team in Portland...
I bought it new. ⚾
It somehow looks plastic-y. Don't know why. The aluminium sides look great. Wish they used the same as a back.It is deeper than blue used on toys. It is more like Polo blue.

Wow, well I apologize. Simply put that brighter blue is not for me.Where has this description ‘toy blue’ come from? I’ve seen about 4 people use it on here now. It’s just a shade of blue, why ‘toy’? I haven’t heard the other blue referred to as ‘Nissan blue’ or some other random description.
Have a look at it in person because it’s not bright at all. Under most lights it’s quite dark and when it’s put in a clear case it’s darker again. I’d say it’s more teal in most lights I’ve viewed it under. The photos posted online, even the ones I’ve shared don’t show an accurate image of the colour. It’s worth having a proper look at it as it’s a beautiful looking phone.Wow, well I apologize. Simply put that brighter blue is not for me.
Ok, using the term "Toy" was harsh and stupid, but it was my immediate impression. I take it back...not ripping anyone who has this. EVERYONE has a taste..that bright blue - many will and do love..thats cool with me.
Heck if it makes anyone feel better (who knows) I saw the PRO in gold and immediately thought "C3PO" gold sides.
Anyway, I guess my preferred taste are darker tones, that's all. But with the 12, yes..it is cool ...the more colors the better for everyone.
Sorry if I offended anyone.
It’s very strange, it pops more in pictures. I took a photo of mine the other day from my 8+ and it made it look like a more purply blue. I look at the phone under my kitchen light and it looks teal. Very odd.Will definitely have to check it out in real life. Looks different in every video/picture
I’d 100% buy 12 Pro just for the Midnight Green I missed with 11. All 12 Pro colours look premium but it’s no MG. Can’t help myself, but the new 12 colors look “cheap”. Even the Black I’m going for looks strangely “plastic” in some photos.I recall how people went nuts for the midnight green last year when it first came out, also gold for the iphone XS. The hype dies so fast.
The blue doesn’t look cheap when you see it in person, I can confirm. Apple are very good with their aesthetics and have never produced a cheap looking iPhone. This year is no exception gladly.I’d 100% buy 12 Pro just for the Midnight Green I missed with 11. All 12 Pro colours look premium but it’s no MG.

I have to agree, after seeing the video below, I don't think any of the colors look cheap, just not my style.The blue doesn’t look cheap when you see it in person, I can confirm.

Looks pretty fresh in Cyprus Green silicone caseAnother blue 12 owner here. Was a little concerned (‘tech world’ concerned, not ‘real life’ concerned) at first when I saw some of the photos of it coming out before I got mine, but in the flesh it’s definitely a dark, nicer shade of blue then the ‘toy’ blue that seemed to appear in a few reviews. Very happy with the colour...
More the wireless charging. iPhone 6/6S/7 had NFC with the aluminum backs.Ever since NFC and wireless charging all phones have had glass back, IIRC.
