Given how everyone slaps a case on it first thing, why not cut some colors and simplify? Apparently people love the idea of the color that’s hidden behind a case.
It's actually a shame.
I always bought white iPhones and I have used a case from day one on my 13, but whenever I remove the case from mine for a cleanup, I marvel at ots beauty; I really think the alluminium side rails look much better than the Pro models.
 
I truly do not understand why the more expensive models get less colors.
It’s something that has existed since Jobs and the iPod era.
If you wanted the one with the most storage, that would be the iPod classic, and that came in… stainless steel.
Or nothing.
There was even one year (2006) where the 2GB Nano came in Silver only (makes sense), the 4 GB came with the entire selection (makes sense), and the 8GB came in… black. And later red. Two colors only.
Just strange.
If your favorite color was blue and you wanted the most storage, you were out of luck.
Exactly, I would take any of those regular/+ color except maybe Coral on the Pro. Wish they could at least have actual Black on a Pro and not Gray

Yes, we know; everyone without a case has to chime in.

I think it's silly and I would destroy my phone weekly without a case. They just don't hold up to be banged on things, dropped on tile, thrown in a backpack, etc.

I used to not use a case because I wanted to see the beautiful color of my phone. Then my phone slipped out of my pocket or out of my hands one too many times, and I've never looked back. It is disappointing. I love my Alpine Green 13 Pro, but I can only see the color when I take the case off. A case is a necessary evil. I don't want to have to use it. But it makes so much more sense practically. And for me that does mean I care about these colors less. They're fun to look at in the Apple store, but I know that I won't be seeing the color for the most part.

I use my 13 mini without a case. MagSafe wallet gives me good grip outdoors. If I think back of which iPhones I loved most I list phones I used without a case.

Hmmm… not a fan of the shades in the mockup. I thought the XR colors were pretty terrible

I’d love a saturated shade of cyan, turquoise, teal, something along those lines. Please Apple throw me a bone. I’ll get that Apple tattoo I’ve been talking about!

The colors they pick are so strange to me these days. Their pinks always lean toward orange instead of magenta. Their blues never have enough green to them. Maybe I’m color blind? But I don’t think anyone’s ever told me their favorite color was salmon (no offense salmon lovers)
