iPhone 12 Pro So what color have you decided on for your 12 Pro Max?

Won’t have that issue if screen protector and casing are applied immediately outta box. Feel sorry that you are triggered for other’s personal preference.

I’m not triggered 😤 I’m trying to warn people that the silver sides are a scratch fest. Saving people one return/exchange cycle.

I was being sarcastic.

I think it is interesting why someone would tell people that they feel sorry for their choice of color. I don’t choose a color based on anyone’s validation. I choose a color based on what I like. I think all the colors look sharp this year. I really like the contrast of polished and matte finishes. I have gone for silver in past years and wanted something a little different. That is why I chose the Pacific blue.

But I validate professionally. I’m not against the color silver, just against the scratch-prone sides

I see your little tag line at the bottom says you‘ve been going hard on macrumors since 2005. Saw your contribution and I’ve already outpaced you in one year. I must be the rock of Gibraltar in hardness. Regarding the silver 12, scratch heaven on the sides. Don’t want to spend time buffing the damn thing during ownership. I’ll stay with the more involved coating process on the gold color or possibly the blue if I’m feeling squirrley. Now that’s funny

If I'm not mistaken, all 4 frames for the pros have a PVD coating (gold processed differently), but this would mean you can't buff the silver stainless steel like prior phones unless you want to strip the PVD coating off.
 
I got the graphite 12 Pro and it looks amazing, so sleek. But I have yet to see the Pacific blue in person. I'll be visitng an Apple store once the Max is out to try it and also check out the other colors. But I'm pretty sure I'll stick with graphite (256GB at least).
 
White or possibly gold in transparent case. Probably white though as the wife has a gold pro inbound.

I've had Gold iPhone 12 Pro 512 Sim-Free version for almost 2 weeks now. I'm already bored with it. So, Pacific Blue it is. I honestly think it comes down to personal preference.

I remember after announcement of the new phones you did mention GOLD all the way. Well so did I. I've gone back and forth between gold and silver. I believe I will end up with silver. I don't want a dark phone. Last year went with MG and regretted it after 1-2 weeks. Due to busy life and what not never went and exchange it.

I’m not sure of the longer terms effects of doing this, but @Brettka7 already posted results of his polishing the finish on his silver pro in this Thread. His results are flawless, and confirms to me at least, my choice to go with the silver 12 PM.

Gold. I thought about going with Silver again because I like the classic Apple Silver/white combo but the gold stainless band really pops this year and the back glass is much lighter than previous years where the glass was champagne.

This is why I keep on going back to gold. Also on a case silver/gold rear lenses section really pops out. That's why I don't want a dark phone. I also could care less about scratches. I'm on apple UP. The comments on this thread because of color preferences are ridiculous. Like really still in 2020 people put others down because of iPhone color preference. I call those fanatics. Just get whatever you like and enjoy it. Simple.

Yep, definitely no PVD coating on the 12 Pro. If there was, I would have sanded through it and created a pretty ugly hazy look around the corner I polished.

Polishing takes such a small amount of metal off that you could easily do it once a month for the entire usable life of the device and there would be no measurable difference in the thickness of the stainless band.

It’s a navy blue phone? Outside of black it’s like the most ‘manly’ phone color possible, if it actually mattered

no i was kidding. everyone so testy so close to the election...lol..But no it is not blue. it is more light, turquoise i would say closer to.
 
Between graphite and silver for me at the moment

Had the pacific blue 12 pro and while I liked it, smudges were terrible, tried the graphite but then realized the regular pro is just not for me this year. Not as bad on graphite fwiw. Gold looks nice but not to my taste

I'm going either mini or max this year.
 
I was set on blue. My sister has the blue pro meh. Love the way gold looks in stores. I am now leaning to graphite but I am sure I’ll waffle up until the time to order it.
 
I really like the Pacific Blue, but my 11 Pro in Midnight Green has discoloration of the steel band where the spots my fingers rest on have turned olive and I'm not going through that BS again. I'll get silver this time.
