Sources: Apple Planning Product Briefing Next Week as iPhone 14 Rumored to Launch in Yellow

[ricketysquire]

I think they need an iPhone with RGB support that way you could customize the color of it. You too can have an overly distracting phone that’s constantly changing colors or picking a terribly awkward static color like Pink Sauce (tm) Pink

Good color. Should be included at launch.

So should Apple not display a black person near a Space Grey/Midnight Mac?

In western culture, identifying a person as black is an accepted term.
However, identifying an asian person as yellow or indigenous person as red, is not.

I really liked my yellow iPhone 5C. Sold it to a friend who used it for years and years. It always made me smile when I saw it again.

Blacks I used to know actually said they preferred it and were annoyed when people called them colored like they were rainbow colored.

Lol. Do people really even attempt to match their phone to their outfit? Some people just buy a phone in a color, because they like that color. I've literally never in my life thought: "that phone color totally clashes with those shoes". Who does that?!

Yes. I have actually done this and I’m a guy. Though not often.

I have a black aluminium watch and when going to a wedding I wore a nice brown leather band.

I realised my bright blue iPhone mini (with no case) didn’t match my clothes and probably looked tacky and cheap, I wished I had thought of a black case or black phone.

I’ve noticed since that, when dressing nice or going into the office, having a brightly coloured phone probably looks odd. Do I care too much? Not enough yet to buy a nice case though I’ve been thinking it. But I can see how some men or women would really care about this.

 

[Cmukuk]

yawn.

Do you think a photo of a yellow phone is the same thing as calling an Asian person “yellow”?

 

[spinedoc77]

Why don't they just go full bling and make it a true gold/metallic color?!?

 

[Black Magic]

My connect tells me the new color will be called Lemon.

Wait! How is it racist? 😒 It’s a yellow iPhone being shown. Do you want someone wearing a pink outfit showing a yellow iPhone? What am I missing? 🤨

BGR posted a same picture regarding this article 💀

New Yellow iPhone 14 Rumored For Spring Release - BGR

A rumor posted on Weibo says Apple could be readying a yellow iPhone 14 for a spring release. Here's what we know.

If you know, you know.

 

[Tagbert]

So only the 14, no 14 Pro?

Pro buyers are forbidden to have products with colors unless is is a shade of gray. (apparently according to Apple product managers)

Personally I don’t equate the two, but I could see some who might. Racism against Asians around the world during COViD has made things even more sensitive.

We’re in a climate where any perception of racism can cause a ruckus.

Yeah, you could say f*ck political correctness. But with Apple’s still large investment in China, maybe you avoid controversy with one of your largest market.

Saying that a photo of a yellow phone isn’t racist is not an example being anti-PC. No one claimed that the yellow 24” iMac was racist. This is just an example of someone being upset for the sake of being upset.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

What if the new yellow is this iPod Mini Yellow? Approved ✅❓

 

[Analog Kid]

When I read "yellow iPhone" in the title, it sounded like a disaster, but then I saw the pictures and it looks quite nice.

I'm guessing that's not an actual Apple image though?

Was there an Asian person posing with that yellow iMac?

 

[patent10021]

What's with Apple always giving the candy to the non-pro users and not to the pros paying the premiums? Midnight MBAs, colored Studio buds etc.

No one was posing with the yellow iPhone and someone called it racist.

 

[Solomani]

Yellow is a lovely fresh colour.
Looking forward to this, hopefully more yellow accessories will accompany it.

I actually prefer the metallic golden yellow like in the (hypothetical) image above.




A pastel or sunflower yellow.... meh.

 

[Funny Apple Man]

Yes please, I love Yellow! My favorite color is coming back to iPhones, I'm hoping it goes to the 15 as well.

 

[svish]

New iPhone colours can be announced via press release. Wonder whether a bigger MacBook Air will be launched via press release. Expecting an Apple event.

 

[iPadified]

That picture is kinda racist.

Is it through? Yellow is the colour of the Chinese emperors. If anything it is political or just a very good picture with absolutely no hidden agenda.

 

[257Loner]

Yellow if true.

 

[JippaLippa]

I'm happy with my white 13, and I'll keep buying white iPhones, but damn that yellow is gorgeous!
