Looking at the phones The purple looks very sexy in person, makes silver look a bit cheaper looking especially the camera bump where it has a plasticky looking bump and the camera accents really accentuate the camera bumps a little too much. Leaning towards purple again…

I was torn between those 2 colors as well. I mostly wanted silver because the case options would be better.

Went for the purple, and I love it. A lot of people complain that it's too gray, but that's exactly why I like it. It's stunning 😍😍

Also, I just don't like the really shiny sides on the silver.

Get the gold, I saw it in person today and it looks more premium and classic. Plus, it is pretty light in color like cream color. Silver looks a bit cheap. I picked up purple today, however.

Now that you mention it if the silver didn’t have the super shiny stainless steel but had the darker stainless steel of the black or purple… I think I would actually prefer silver more. Right now still leaning towards purple for that reason. Darker stainless steel feels more expensive.
 
Was tempted hard by the purple but I went to look at the demo model today and it's way too dark for me. Gorgeous, don't get me wrong but I know I'd be unhappy with it after a while. I change cases a lot and all the cutesy patterned ones I like just wouldn't look good with it. I'm really torn between silver and gold now. I don't plan to actually upgrade for a while yet so at least I have time to obsess over the decision lol

Doesn't 99% of people put their phones in a case anyway? It really doesn't matter what color you get. Unless of course you decide to get a clear case -

Purple is going to be the popular choice, just like Sierra was last year and Pacific the year before that.... The "special" color is always going to get the oooh's and aaah's every year.... And rightfully so since they are usually very nice, with the purple being no exception as it's a beautifully done color..... However the silver is a clean looking timeless classic which you could never go wrong with.

I am going with Silver after agonizing a great deal, including 30 mins spent at the store today with the demo units. The Silver is a beautiful white and even the apple logo just has this almost iridescence to it - have to see it in person. Ultimately between white and black iPhone/iPad I've always preferred the "white" option and the deep purple is not vibrant enough for me. It is a gorgeous color but it's grey/dark in too many angles/lighting. But a Pacific Blue or last year's Pro Green would have been a no brainer pick over Silver.

1. Silver
2. Gold
3. Black or whatever it is called

7. ………… Purple… a very distant last place.

But seems purple is amazingly popular! So definitely a YMMV thing. 🙂



Definitely my first choice (If I were buying, of course!)

Silver has an advantage because it's easier for people to see you have the more expensive Pro (three camera lenses) and not the less expensive non-Pro (two camera lenses).

Yes, all the 2 camera lens peasants should take note of this advantage.
 
I hated the thought of a purple 14PM. Upon reveal and in hand reviews I liked it. Went purple this year. Admired it for a few minutes before it went inside a spigen case. I usually remove my phone from the case once a month. Clean it. Admire color. That’s it. Different angles looks dark grayish. Love the purp. Direct sunlight on this pic you can see purple bumps. Most of time look darker grey mix.

This is such a hard choice. Ended up pre-ordering both and going to return one of them, but I'm split between the two. Both beautiful in their own way.
 
I went with silver and I love it. I normally go with the feature color but i didn’t like the purple. It was too dark for my taste. Very happy with my decision.

Looks like silver is the winner in reality. Most stores can't keep silver in stock for more than a couple minutes.

The clear glass island makes it look especially nice compared to dark colors.

Same. I ordered both. I've always liked the silver. Such a clean look but the purple sure has me tempted! I'm going to the Apple store tomorrow and check them out and will cancel the one I don't like. The purple might be a little too dark for me though given I've always like the cleaner look, So I dunno. I hope it's an instant, "Oh, I don't like this one" so I'm still not un-decided at the store!
