Again why did the color matter ? You have a black phone and a small window to remind you it's purple. FFS

iPhone 14 Pro Purple vs Silver.. Now that iPhone 14 Pro is out... what do you prefer?

I remember lusting for the white iPhone 4 when it was first just rumored, and then later announced. It seemed like a unicorn then, with talks about difficulty manufacturing the glass with the white paint. I wanted one so bad.
Now a days, my preference is mainly because the silver is usually the truest finish of the material, with no paint to worry about scratching off. The purple is nice, but I'm just not feeling it. Perhaps, I am locked into silver/white forever
Hope this might help convince a few minds

This is true. When I picked up my preorder iPhone 14 Pro (silver) on launch the Apple specialist said the silver was completely sold out and they only had purple in stock.
You sound like me going in there today to decide between my 14 pro I received Friday, and the pro max I ordered for pickup since they had some available. I spent way too much time in there tormenting myself over that decision. (At least they were both purple and I didn’t have that to throw into the mix - I never choose anything other than silver, but this purple is really pretty).
I Think the middle phone (can’t tell if it’s an 11 pro?) has the prettiest back color of those whites - so creamy. I had the XR, 11, 12, and 13 pro in silver/white - I needed a change. ;-p
So what color did you end up with? When I went to pick up my 14pm/purp apple employee did tell me they had more purple because they received way more purples over the rest. Figures. That's why the majority of other colors are sold out. When I was there I noticed many purples being picked up. Apple knows every new color moves more. That many will keep and not return...who knows.
I got purple. First time I have ever gotten a color.
I love it. Right now it’s in a cheap clear case til my Loopy arrives. Sadly I couldn’t get a clear Loopy because they are back ordered, so it’ll be in a black leopard case, but i think it’ll look sharp with the purple camera area peeking out
Yup, it is the 11 pro! The brighter white on the 14 pro max took me for a surprise. Definitely still prefer 11 pro shade of cream, but this might grow on me. Enjoy the new purple!
My wife has the purple 14 Pro, and even for me—someone who doesn’t like purple anything—it’s a very handsome color. I couldn’t resist the black variant this year, but the silver looks great as well. And those who get the gold option seem to like this year‘s take on it.
Still wish the Pro line had more fun, colorful options, but I think the choices this year are great, given that they‘re ‘boring.‘

I thought it was going to be instant here, and I've always been white clean hardware (except for my 12Pro Blue). This is definitely not cut and dry as a choice. In so many situations the Purple looks almost navy blue, or silver. It's rare to seem purple.
The silver also feels like a VERY light cool white with some iridescent blue tint to it.
I'm leaning ever so slightly to purple, and know I'd be happy with either of them now.
From the pics posted on this thread, I am debating getting the silver over the space black now. I looked at the purple in store yesterday and while I loved the purple color on the back of the phone, I wasn’t crazy about the purple around the edges.
I made up my mind at that point I would go for the space black however I am now wanting to go back to the Apple Store and look at the silver before making my final decision.

I have to say I do agree with you about the colored stainless. I guess I feel like it cheapens it slightly since stainless doesn't come in colors - lol.
That being said, I'm gonna have a case on mine, so it was really almost unnecessary to get a color at all.
You are right, it does somewhat cheapen the look of the phone. I think the band would look more premium in a matte purple color like the non pro line finishes, but yes, I will also put mine in a case so any color will do!
Exactly my thought. My 14PM went inside a case within 1-2 minutes.
Going for purple. I always go for the new color. Currently have 13 Pro Sierra blu, had green before. This year, going with purple!
I picked up my gold iPhone 14 promax on Saturday. No regrets. Love it. My second choice would have been silver, but it’s a shaky 2nd choice because of the micro scratch prone sides
My wife and I ordered both of these colors. I like silver a lot, even though I was torn between space black and the latter. Though now that I have it in hand, I'm glad I went with silver. Deep purple is really nice from when I looked at my wife's, but certainly not for me. Though I do wish Apple released a blue color too.
I got a purple. Going to return it. Not a great color. Going black or white, but don't love the pearl on the silver
I’m really impressed that the vote is so close. I voted purple. After seeing it in more reviews the color has grown on me.
Gold is personally working really well for me on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I find you always have to take into account the type of case you prefer. I like translucent cases and a translucent case on a white phone will look dirty pretty quickly. With gold (or purple) it stays looking like new much longer.

I went Purple and absolutely love it. It has a kameleon type of effect to it. Gray in some light then in some other light it pops purple. Very nice color.
Love the Purple. What I like most is its seldom Purple. More often than not its grey/blue color.
