It is my second favorite color after the Pacific Blue.
That’s the exact reason I’m not upgrading this year, unless Apple came out with a Rose Gold or pink iPhone.
I would love to see a picture of it after you get it. I’m considering getting one, but wanted to see some real-life photos of it first.
I would have chosen red 12 Mini for myself for the same reason: It looks like coral. 👍👍
I use an XR. It’s yellow. I really like it, but I had actually walked into the Apple Store believing coral was my favourite. Not sure why I changed my mind.
I sort of wish I got the coral. Getting a red mini would have been given me “closure”. 😂
I’ll probably buy a 13 Mini in either purple or red/coral if one of these is available. Wouldn’t mind a dark purple either, like on the new iMacs. Actually, I’m hoping Apple releases the iPhone 13 and matches all the new iMac colours. 🤯
Will post a photo after I get it which hopefully will be sometime this week.
Oh I had the yellow XR! I’d really wanted the coral, too, but that year one of my girls was upgrading from an SE to an XR and also had her heart set on coral. My next choice was red but my sister-in-law had her heart set on that color. So I then decided to get yellow to be different. I liked the yellow but always sort of regretted not getting the coral. But at least I got to see it every day. And still do. It’s taken a tumble down a flight of concrete stairs but thanks to the clear Caudabe case it was in, still looks new and is still gorgeous. It will be in the family until it no longer works.
I hope your wish for the iPhone 13 comes true. The iMac colors look fantastic. We need more colors from Apple. I wish the Pro iPhones were a bit more brightly colored.
The case came today. It's dark but very pretty. In daylight it looks more purple. In indoor lighting it could almost pass for dark blue. The first photo has the Baltic blue case beside it. It looks great with the Apple wallpaper. Hope this helps with your decision.
Oh wow it actually looks blue! Kinda like a navy blue! I wonder why apple didn't make a lighter shade to better match the purple phone 12
I really love the color, and not going to lie, it did make me think about upgrading. Thankfully, I stayed rational and decided not to since I still feel like the 12 series isn’t enough hardware/feature wise for me to be excited and guilt-free about upgrading.
I really hope this color sticks around for next year’s iPhones, though I’m sure it probably won’t. I think this color, along with the gold 12 Pros, are the best iPhone colors of all time.
I will say that the purple iPhone 12 inspired me to get a purple case about the same shade of purple for my XS Max to make me feel better about not being able to have the actual purple 12 😜

The purple mini looks nice, but I’m not tempted. I’m good with my 12 pro max.
Thanks for posting. Was wondering what the leather case would look like in pereson. I think I will still buy it. Man I wish they would have brought back that Aubergine from a couple of years ago. I think that was the perfect deep purple.
I had to suffer through (yes, I'm being extremely dramatic) how many iterations of their pink iPhones and we only get 2 purple iPhones. They better bring it back for the 13's. #JusticeforPurple
Thanks! That does really help. I love it. I’m going to order one.

I had and loved that Aubergine case too. I think the deep purple case would like nice on the new purple iPhone, but with a case on you really don't see much of the phone. I'm very happy with the case. It almost feels like having a new phone.
It does look dark blue in some lighting but in daylight you can see that it is purple, albeit a dark shade of purple.
I never bought one of Apple’s leather cases (don’t like open bottom cases) so this will be my first purchase. It seems like my local Apple Store finally has stock so I’m just going to do a store pickup on Friday.
Edit: I’ll do the pickup on Saturday. Forgot my statement closes on Friday. Yes, I’m one of those people.
I really like this year's leather case. The camera and bottom of the phone are well protected and the leather is not as slippery as last year's leather case.
We’ll put and spot on
Apple livening up the iPhone 12 with a refresh to attract attention
Just realized that case on the picture is the leather case, I wonder how does the silicone case look like since that is the one I'll be getting 🧐
Purple silicone compared to purple leather. Purple leather looks very navy bluish indoors. First photo taken near a window, cloudy day. 2nd photo in not as much light.

Had anyone’s order from Verizon shipped?
I ordered my wife hers on Friday first thing and paid for the early upgrade with my debit card. A few days later a new debit card showed up and I activated it. Last night I get a email about a failed payment because of it. I quickly updated the Info within minutes of receiving the email and it’s fine now. But now it doesn’t show 4/30 for delivery, it’s just blank now.

Thank you! I much prefer the color on the silicone case
She's here. And she's beautiful.
It's a Mini too, btw.
