I wonder how many people here were pissing themselves over this color just to put the phone in a case 15 minutes after unboxing it.

I dunno but even if you don’t, you don’t see it 90% of the time (considering the color is in the back).

I just realize it’s not even because I’ll spend all day staring at it so much as, I just like the idea of it… and because I go caseless I do think about how the color scheme goes with my clothes, bag, etc… 😳

Apple care plus theft/loss :D

but yeah, the one time I did have a case on top of apple care plus (but no theft/loss) the case added bulk so im thinking that’s how the thief was able to brush past me and grab it out of my pocket (that only buttons up but couldn’t bc the phone was a wee bit over).

so no more cases for me, no matter how cute.

Ok. I gave it the college try, went to the AT&T store and saw SB in person.

guess it was the store lighting but the color did NOT appeal to me… had a decomposing mushroom look!

if I have to have the perfect lighting condition for it to look good then I’ll pass.. I figure 80% of the time it’s not going to look it’s best, considering my environment. But to each his own… 😅

also in the culinary world, blue is the least appealing food color! 🤨😉

It’s ok, everyone has different preferences. I don’t mind it but I only got it bc I prefer color (this) over the other choices. If they had a pink for pro max I woulda gotten that but eh.

hopefully apple listens and next time goes for a burnt orange.

I was hoping for a burnt or blood orange also…. It may be too “wild” for a pro phone?

Someone mentioned apple playing it safe, which I can see. Makes me wonder how the #s were for the pacific blue. I saw the mini version color but wasn’t a fan. I think burnt orange with the matte finish Sierra blue has would be gorgeous.

Now I may cancel mine as I already have a graphite.

I got the gold but I looked at the Sierra Blue while in the store. It definitely looked more blue than gray to me and is very pretty. I would look at it in person before cancelling.

Can’t stop looking how gorgeous Sierra Blue is on the pictures. Best color by far. Close second was the 5s Gold. We all knew how long we had to wait for that one lmao.

It’s a good color but could be better

The Sierra blue is looking better every day! These pics taken in the evening in the kitchen with indoor light. The blue really is absolutely stunning.

That is because you are using it without a case and truly that is the best way to rock the Sierra Blue Phone.

Just be careful about the scratches from daily use.

Hope you put a screen protector. I was at a store yesterday and a guy with an iPhone 13 Pro wanted to have a screen protector installed and when they guy at the store was cleaning the screen before installation, he found some scratches on the screen which surprised the owner as he just unboxed his phone a couple of hours ago.

So a screen protector is a must. Try to get a sapphire glass screen protector as the feel of the glass is closest to the real glass on the phone.

When getting the Sierra Blue one has to decide before hand, to go ceaseless or a with clear case to make the phone shine?

Or get any case and keep having positive thoughts that it’s still a Sierra Blue case.

It’s is more blue if you don’t use a clear case. With a clear case it will look grayish.

If you use Apple cases, it make your special color look not so great.

OP, what was the third case in the picture you posted above? I ask because I like the clear cases without the extra MagSafe ring of the apple clear case.

It’s the Clear Ringke Fusion hard tp Case. I get it every year for my phones.
 
Took a couple of pictures outside today from different angles / lighting. It really does change quite a bit!
First pic is in the shade and the last is in late afternoon bright sunlight - I find it really pretty either way!

These are amazing pictures of the Sierra blue. I definitely like it more than the midnight green or pacific blue.

Met her once at work. She’s pretty nice!

Justine reviews are great. She makes an effort to go to all sort of places to try the phones and show you the colors under different lighting. She also tells you exactly what's new with the new versions and go quite deep into the tech side too. She's brilliant.

Hopefully this confuses you that are on the fence:

Gosh darn it!!
This video makes SB look somewhat better (lighting?):

I swear SB did NOT look like this in the AT&T store!! 🤷

neither does my SB... mine doesn't have that shiny blue look even on daylight ..
