I didn’t expect the sierra blue to look so light grey. Interesting color. Hope you guys and girls enjoy.

The last thing I will say about iPhone color. Yes, it's great to get a color you like and sucks a bit when it doesn't look as nice in person but in the end it's just a color of the back of my phone. It's only important when the phone launches then we all either slap a case on it or forget about it until next year. 
I'm not.. I got it today and it's going back.. not for me, too dull . I'm picking up a silver from apple store tomorrow
It's a shame, a baby blue would have been nice but not this greyish/blueish. grandma colour
I went to Best Buy this morning to get a peak at them in person. All of them are beautiful colors. I really couldn't decide between Graphite and Sierra Blue. I'd be sold on Graphite and an hour later I'd be sold on Sierra Blue. It's the most indecisive I've about the color of iPhone. After seeing them in person, I'm getting Sierra Blue.
Uhh I ordered the Sierra Blue and was very much looking forward to it. But now the more photos I see the more disappointed I feel. That light blue in the promo images would have been really nice but based on the photos it just looks...dull grey, it ain't even blue. Will need to see it in person tomorrow when I go and pick it up. I hope I will like it in person. If not, I will need to return...
Wow, the sierra blue is gorgeous. It’s layered and complex, all the different shades based on lighting look great!
I’ve never been tempted to buy a pro iphone solely because of the color, but for me it makes no sense because a) I don’t use the camera that much on my phone and it’d go to waste on me, b) my iphone 11 is still in good condition, and c) I’ve already spent too much this year between my M1 MBA and ipad mini 6.
So no iphone 13 pro in sierra blue for me 😞. (Very much a first world problem lol.)

Every single photo I've seen has a different shade of blue. I think it's time to stop looking at them and just see it in person.
This year the best color is actually Gold and the Sierra Blue. Graphite and Silver at the same as last year.
Many got the Sierra Blue because it is a new color. Whether they like it out not is another matter.
I don’t trust reviews because they have been told to say positive things about the new color to create hype.
Personal opinion matters most. I like the Sierra Blue and feel that one should get the color of not using a case. Even a clear case will not do full justice to the color.
see it in person, and judge for yourself, it's the only way... mine is going back.. for me it's dull
it's a shame about the promo pics , like the one on the apple page are deceiving , the real shade it's not that nice baby blue.
The silver one for me it's better, I can put a nice clear case with a different colour border around it .. the Sierra blue is harder to colour match.
The blue is VERY subtle , Almost verging on grey
This is killing me.. I scrolled down to your photo and I thought to myself 'why is graphite phone posted here?'
This year has to be the worst year to decide on a color..

I've always gotten the black/space gray (whatever version of the black iPhone they're offering that year) and stuck to that. This year, I was feeling risky and decided to go with a different color. I was eyeing the Graphite color on the 12, and later on, looked at Pacific Blue color when I saw it in person. I didn't get the 12, but I am definitely getting the 13.
I had to go see them in person to decide. I never thought choosing an iPhone color would be one of the toughest decisions I've had to make all year 😂
Glad I went with the blue, looks beautiful 😍
I just received mine and I love the Sierra blue! Can't really tell any difference with proMotion though.
Got mine this morning and the color is awesome. Ice Blue in some light, Silver Blue in others. Some Silver Grey. It varies and that's what makes it such a great color. It's not an IN YOUR FACE color. While I do like those, it would get old after a while, for me anyways.
Subtle yet classy color is my first impression of it
