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.
Thank you for posting this photo. Thanks to everyone who posted photos on this thread. I think I’ll go ahead and order myself a purple silicone case. I really love the green case that perfectly matches my green mini.

I was going to go order an off brand light purple from Amazon but after taking a look at your photo I decided that deep purple looks good! On Apple’s store it doesn’t look that appealing but in your photo it definitely hits the mark. I don’t know if Apple uses actual photos or some sort of CGI but they never show how pretty the colors of their products really are.

Indoors, the phones go naked! But the weather’s nice so my minis are going to live outdoors a lot.
 
Okay so I played the all black video from the thread about raised blacks on this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/iphone-12-pro-raised-blacks-display.2263200/

My launch day 12 Pro Max and green 12 mini unfortunately still show a glowing greenish white glow that is very bright. I guess none of the updates fixed it. :(

My new purple 12 mini stays black! :)

One thing I have learned this year, between getting faulty displays and seeing a new color released so close to the new model debuts, I’m not going to upgrade at preorder time anymore. At least not for iPhones.
 
Gotta ask, any guys here rocking the purple iPhone 12/12 mini naked? (The phone)

I prefer a much deeper purple if I had the choice, but Blue is my primary goto, matte black 2nd, purple third.

considering this years iPhone colours, and the iMacs in colours, and rumoured MBA in colours - would this be Tim Cook’s personal design choice and send off once the entire Apple product lineup is complete with colours of the rainbow before his retirement? Hmmm.

“we bleed in six colours”.
 
I don’t understand why they introduce a new colour now, when new iPhones will be here in less than 5 months.
Time for a refresh and a chance to push those customers that were on the edge about buying an iPhone 12 into buying one
