iPhone 13 The non-Pro iPhone models would look so much nicer if they all had silver frames like the white models

The color-matched frames look tacky, in my opinion. Reminds me of the cheapo bargain bin iPhone 5c model. The silver frame on the white models looks so premium and nice. The black iPhone with silver frame would be an instant buy from me.

I also really hope they keep the iPhone 12 mini around to replace the iPhone 11 in the lineup. iPhone 11 sells for $679 CAD, so I'd be fine with the iPhone 12 Mini at $699 CAD.

To some, to others it won't. Color appreciation is in the eye of the beholder.

That stainless steel band around the iPhone 4 and 4s is the major reason I never got those phones. While I own both a 4 and a 4s now, I never went for them brand new and the total cost of buying them so many years on was $45.

I purposely skipped that entire series and went for the iPhone 5, which in my opinion is the one form factor and color (Black/Slate) that I'd like to see in all iPhones. But I'm not the one that gets to make those design decisions so I don't count.

But if we start bringing back silver/steel colored sides I may I may have to reconsider Apple. My 6s+ has the Space Gray sides, but it continues to the back so I'm okay with that. My 11PM though is black on the sides and that's what I like.

I completely disagree, I think it would look horrible if the sides were a completely different colour to the rest of the phone for no reason.

A polished stainless steel band on a graphite colored iPhone wouldn't be tacky? What is this, 1960? We don't like chrome these days unless it's on purpose.

The shinier the frame, the more they charge. It's what you crave.

I actually wish they figured out how to have a white aluminum frame color matched to the white glass.

My blue iPhone 12 has sheets been in a case so I rarely see the back or sides anyway. I guess this is a non-issue to me then.

Color is simply a matter of taste. I’m gonna paint my 13 purple. (jk)

When I bought my first Eye Phone, a 1st gen 2016 SE, I wanted the pink one - but the lovely Mrs., in concert with the savvy sales rep, steered me into the Space Gray. However, within a week, with the new phone encased in an Otterbox, color was irrelevant. 😂
