I think he is implying the shade of color itself which I actually agree with. This blue is more suited and along the same lines as the colors typical used for the non Pro models. Not saying it looks terrible, just very tacky looking IMO for them to chose for a flagship phone. They could of done better. But they know a tweaked version of Blue from the previous year will sell like hot cakes because everyone has FOMO on the latest color.
Got a tip for us?

Actually you’ll be the owner of Sierra a week from tomorrow!
oh god... this reminds me of the guy 2 years ago that HATED the green but ordered it because he wanted to make sure everyone knew he had the newest phone... rather than order a color he liked!
So Sierra blue is more suited for the non pro because it’s light blue? Does that mean the silver and gold pro need to be non pro as well because they are light colors? 🙄
I have the gold 12 Pro Max and had the green for 11 Pro, too. I miss the midnight green color. I’m sure I’ll miss the gold, too. But this blue is a nice relaxing peaceful color and I could use that after the last couple of years.
I love the gold. I got Pacific Blue last year but changed to gold when I returned my 12 Pro for the 12 Pro Max. But I wanted something different. If there were no blue I’d probably pick graphite.
A fellow iPhone 11 green owner! I have that color too but haven’t seen many around. It was my first non-black or white iPhone and I’ve really enjoyed having some extra color.
I wish Apple would send dummy models to their stores for people to pre-view the new colors
I agree, but although it’s an extra hassle you can always exchange it for a different color. I think I’m gonna try the Sierra Blue (even though I hate baby blue). If I don’t like it then it will be returned for a Graphite.
🤣 @ the arguments over what colors are “professional”. They’re phones, people. Relax.
Changing mine from blue to white. I generally always go for white but though I would try a new color this year, but I'm concerned its a little to light blue for my liking.
My preorder prep with finance etc is all done - hopefully I can change it quickly during the actual pre-order today.

Apple did a virtual event, so we didn’t get to see the hands on/first impression videos and pictures that bloggers posted shortly after the event. That would of been super helpful to be able to make a decision on colors, etc.
I am still on the fence. I was initially going for my usually graphite, then switched to Sierra Blue for a change of pace. Now thinking of going back to graphite. Ugh...
My main inquiry is how the Sierra blue color will look in an ultra-slim black case like the Pitaka Air Case.

I like the gold but I’m upgrading from a gold 11 Pro and want something different. Going sierra blue
It used to be SOOOOO helpful when the keynotes were in person and you got the pics from people who were there and writing articles.
Got my order up. iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB Sierra Blue. I gotta say the pre pickup was clutch. Would’ve been faster if it was a delivery. But I was in and out in less than a minute.
Ready for for pickup 9/24. Gonna pick it up after work, LETSSS GOOOO!!!
