I’m sitting out this round but if I were to get 13 Pro Max this year it would be the Gold. Just not a fan of the color blue. In fact I’m not a fan of green either. So my color of choice has always been Gold except for the 6s and 7 plus where I got Rose Gold.

My favorite color is Pink, I will get Pink anything. I do have other colors that I tend to like. Purple, Burgundy, Yellow, Orange and Brown.

It seems the every year I’m stuck with Gold because the new colors that Apple releases on the Pro Models are just colors that I tend to prefer.

My husband loves any shade of blue (favorite color) So he like the PB of the 12 PM and the SB of the 13 PM.
from the videos released today...... that gold is really pretty! subtle back and then the bold gold edge! NOTHING Like what it shows on the webpage! my mom chose the gold to match her Mac book she just got not too long ago.... I'm not so sure it's going to "match"! but I sure looks pretty!

I'm ALL ABOUT PINK! I mean I was mesmerized when the pink came on the screen for the keynote... but then it hit me.... 2 cameras.... NOT the pro..... *groan*. no way I could give up the better camera functions of the pro even if I could have given up the size....

so..... sad......

it's hard to tell the shade of blue by the pictures, videos etc.. if it looks more grey than blue then for me it's a let down. I will see on Friday but right now I wish I would have bought the white instead
to me it looks the the blue iMacs... which if it's the metal part of the iMac is more of a blue gray... if its more like the awful glass part of the screen... it's really a really atrocious true baby blue.....

The Gold is really beautiful. I love it. It’s just I’m itching for a new color after having so much Gold. The other colors on the Pro models are either boring or their just not colors I like. I wish I could have that pink from the non pro model😍 but I can’t downsize I’ve had big phones since the 6+ and when I hold my MIL iPhone 11 it feels so small, I just can’t get use to the size.

So what color did you choose ? I went back to basics with white/silver. Had gold last year.

Got the transparent apple case just so I could look at the beautiful blue all day long , it’s my favourite colour .
 
I like that blue better than the 12 pro blue & midnight green.

I'd like to give a special shout out to the person(s) who decided lighting and editing on Apple's Guided Tour video, thanks for making Sierra Blue look its worst and making me really regret my pre-order decision for four days!
 
Ok ok ok… for some reason this shot catches my eye… nice color guys/gals:

Well, I think I've seen enough of Sierra Blue to go with it for the time being. Still not thrilled with any of the Pro colors. But I've had graphite/space grey type phones before, so this will be a little different, I s'pose. Really wish for a Product Red or even the Pacific Blue from last year. Oh well.

Look forward to seeing this in person finally.

Same here. Excited to see it, but uncertain how I’ll like it.

Somewhat related…anybody know how exchanging for a different color works if you’re on iPhone upgrade program? Is it a whole new loan 😕?

but if we exchange it.. we are gonna be without a new phone for another month? based on availability ..
Precisely what Guac said, and I’d like to be able to sell my current 12 Pro Max as fast as possible too. Good thing I have zero regrets about Sierra now that I saw it in reviews and unboxings.

Can’t say I regret it either. I definitely like some of what I’ve seen in reviews and unboxings but somehow I’m still unsure what it looks like lol. Seems to change quite a bit depending on lighting. I’ll find out when I pick up tomorrow I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️☺️
 
No idea if you have it but Pacific Blue has massive variation to it depending on light. I’m assuming Sierra is going to be a similar situation.
True, don’t have the PB but I did notice that from pics and videos as well.
 
With Apple there really is no exchanging. You have to return your phone, then they credit back your card, and the credit is not immediate, takes about 4-5 days. You then purchase the phone you want, so for a little while you will have a high balance on your card until they process the credit.
 
for some odd reason I did not like it at first, but now I do like it, feel its cheerful and dynamic. At times looks gray. It different.... if i were keeping more than a year, probably not. The fact that they are sold out through end of October should say something?
