As someone who is a spaz and therefore always has my 12 Pro Max in a case…color choices have little appeal. That said…this yellow reminds me that I need to step away from the internet and go pee. 😂
Got a tip for us?

I would have thought that Apple wouldn't just announce a new iPhone colour by even a press release, not without other things also being announced. Could be Apple Classical Music, it could also be the 15" MacBook Air/Macbook or it could be all of those things. They are not really worthy of an event.
A briefing is not an event and can be as simple as just giving the staff the details they need, and different staff levels need different details.
at this point AMC (…Classical, not Mistuh White’s TV network) feels like AirPower-level vaporware ☠️ what a waste of a good concept
This problem is more solvable. I hope it just made them realize how bad Music is on the back end and the delay is them fixing the whole system.
Glad everyone loves the yellow but this isn’t doing it for me. The whole 14 generation is a dud to me. To someone coming into the ecosystem new it’s fine but compared to the last few years, this generation seems too experimental.
I thought it was a media briefing, no?
edit - also, they need a briefing on a phone color?
That says the subject of the briefing has yet to be determined, the subject meaning what it will be about. It has already been said that Apple's PR team are planning a product briefing next week. It's not a huge leap to think that there will be more announced than just a new colour. It is expected that the new 15" MacBook Air will be announced this month or early next month.
Me too. I try to be the epitome of "the gray man" in most crowds. Too many predators out there looking for brightly-feathered prey. I'm not afraid of being attacked. But I also don't want to have to draw-down on somebody wanting my stuff because of the bright peacock colors.
It's also the color of canaries, Easter chicks (the birds, not ladies), and fooofie big Easter hats.Courage.
No wait...yellow = cowardly
I do change the colors of my iPhones, but I only buy them once every 2-4 years. Also, they always get encased in a plain black case, so all my iPhones end up being black.
It does look great on sports cars.
Here comes the Dukes of Hazzard Dodge Charger! And no, that show was not racist, so don't even try that.
They were. Native Americans were called "red skins". There are many other shades too, running from olive to tan to black. Myself, I'm rather pink, lol!
My favorite color is any bright color against black. But I'm also not upgrading from my 12 ProMaxSuperCalifragilistic, either. Oh, I could afford it. But it's a huge hassle switching everything over to a new iPhone, even though Apple makes it fairly easy. Waiting to see what the 15 may hold, so maybe in 2024 for me. Unless I break this one or flush it down a sewer or something. There are SOME things I just will not retrieve.
Don’t underestimate colors. Many people I know bought the 14 Pro/Pro Max literally due to the deep purple color (they all lay people, have no clue about specs). Some are even upgrading from their 13 Pro only because they want the deep purple color.
Most of us are "get excited for a product, consume product, get excited for new product in two or three years".
Right, did you read the first sentence in that? The PR team is planning a product briefing new Green colors….
Since it‘s sources, but not Apple, it could still be a different color.
Regardless, every new product gets a briefing, regardless of what it is, because that’s how Apple informs everyone about it. The briefing can be as simple as a press release which states ”We have a new green iPhone which will be in the 14 and 14 Plus, but not the 14 Pro and 14 ProMax. It’s our best green phone yet, and we think you’re going to love it. It will be available for sale on # date.”
