Huh? It's a washed-out baby blue that's going to look really dated and boring really quickly.

Hope you realize that Apple's marketing photos are what give it the appeal. Those marketing photos feature a highly contrastive front wallpaper (the wallpaper itself carries the weight of the impression). That wallpaper also, conveniently, obscures the fact that this new phone features a deeper notch that obscures more of the usable screen real estate.

Your reaction is exactly what Apple's marketing department was hoping to hear. They've succeeded in trapping you into gadget lust.

Imagine being this invested in something you don't like. Weird. 😆
 
I think Sierra Blue is GORGEOUS. Pacific Blue was a tad dark for my taste so I went with the Gold. Love it.

Now my dad wants a new phone, he doesn’t like Sierra Blue so I suggested gifting him my 12ProMax in gold amd getting myself the 13proMax in Sierra Blue.

This color reminds me of sky blue rather than baby blue. Even though it’s a light color, it’s also got a bit of grey to tone it down and making it luxurious and sophisticated. 😍🥰:p

Kind of like this color.

Like several others, I was on the fence about upgrading this year because I really wanted a 13 Pro Black. But, after thinking about it and discussing with several folks on here and in person, a made the decision to get the Sierra Blue 13 Pro and it is really growing on me! It is a beautiful color.
 
I like the Sierra Blue color out of both the 13 and 13 Pro lineup, but I’m not getting a Pro. Trying to decide between Blue and Pink for the 13…
 
Blue is my favorite color so last year getting Pacific Blue and this year getting Sierra Blue is a win win for me!
 
I wanted to get the blue Pro Max last year, but was in a hurry and settled on Silver as I didn't want to wait. This year I was set on the blue again and this time I got the 512GB Pro max. I do wish it was a tad darker blue, but not as dark as last year's.
 
I think people complaining about Sierra Blue need to also factor in that the having another blue in the mix was originally way out of the question - the leakers, Prosser and Gurman, kept insisting that blue is out, bronze is in. As the current trend was with the Pros, Apple should usually indeed pick a new exclusive colour for the Pro each year.

The event rolled around and Apple pulled this rabbit out of the hat and instead gave us another blue. I reckon hardly anyone was expecting this would happen. Looking back at the events artwork as someone predicted, the colours of the sky, blue and pink, gave away the new colours for the 13 this year.

Yes, I admit, Sierra could be a little darker, but still, blue is my favourite all time colour and I couldn’t be happier to soon be able to have a high-end blue iPhone (skipped the 12 Pro as I already had the 11). Sometimes you just gotta take what you’re given - if SB isn’t your cup of tea, the other existing three Pro colours, Gold, Silver and Graphite are still around for those who want to play it safe.
 
When's the embargo over? Tuesday? Still want to see these colors (especially Sierra Blue) out in the wild in different areas of lighting.

I also kinda wish it was darker. Like the purple released on the 12, I wish it was a few shades darker as well. Someone or some people up there at Apple sure seem to like the pastel-like color schemes.

I probably will go with Sierra Blue. But still want to see more real life images before jumping.
