I think I'm going to have to see this one in person. It's looking periwinkle here, which is not a bad thing. I have to do a pickup in the Apple store tomorrow. If I like her, she'll come home with me.
Ooo. Do let us know!!
 
I'm a massive fan of small phones and am stuck between the purple and the white. I absolutely adore the purple in the ad, and based on that alone was expecting a colour somewhat similar to #AB87C9. Does the phone look blue in certain lighting? It's a gorgeous colour nonetheless!

No. Not blue at all. The phone is unmistakably, purple through and through! 😁
 
New addition to the family today.

New colors months in are simply to get people especially tech reviewers to talk and remind people x device exists. Still gotta love some Thanos colors.

I also got my purple iPhone 12 and the silicon purple case, I quite like them, but damn haha 55 eur for that case? 25 eur would be a decent price, our Timmy has got to eat! :rolleyes:

Periwinkle. Nice. Why is the case so dark?

When we were first looking at the images we thought Purple?, no it's Periwinkle as well. However, in person under normal, say around 2,500 kelvin it looks more of a Lavender in our opinion. It's easy to see the generic references to Purple. I must admit, as a person who only does black or graphite on every iPhone I've owned since 2007 except for one white iPhone 3G (returned for black) this color really made me look twice at it. It was a real attention grabber out of the box. I think a clear case would look nicer, but it's not my phone. I know there is a Spigen Clear Ultra Hybrid that might go on it in the "Apple Accessory Cabinet." Time will tell. I'm still going to wait though as my 11 works just fine. Definitely have a very happy family member though.

It's also nice to see a color more purplish than the 11's so called purple just a few months from the 10yr anniversary of Steve's passing.
This shade is very close to his favorite color from some of the archived articles I've gone back and looked at.

There has been chat on other forums about his phone having both the mid cycle color refresh scheme along with paying a quiet tribute to Steve's 10th anniversary. But that's just speculation on forums and by myself. ;)
 
Oh I’m so envious! I do love my green mini very much. I just want a purple mini to keep with it, too.

I love these mini iphones. That’s what I carry with me all the time now, my green mini. I get some pwm eye strain if I try to do too much on it, but when I’m out doing stuff I shouldn’t be staring at a phone anyway.

Purple and green sound like they’d be great together! :D

I think you should have both the mint green and the purple. It seems like mini phones are your thing, and these colors are just delightful.

Yeah you know me! I am STILL kicking myself for trading up my purple Galaxy S9+. I couldn’t bring myself to part with the purple case I had on it. I can’t really think of any other regrets I’ve had upgrading a phone but that one really sticks out.
