I was all set this morning to Pre-order the PB or Graphite. Last night when the few hands on reviews came out they were showcasing the Silver Pro Max. For the past month my mind has been set on the PB or Graphite and the silver never entered the conversation. After watching the videos last night the silver shot to the top of my favorite color list. Yes; I’ll have a case on the phone, but i felt I would get bored with the PB and the Silver camera cut out seems to stand out more in the black case that I got making it look nice. I’m so glad those reviews came out last night. Anyone else change their mind after the hands on videos?

I went back and forth since colors we’re announces up until I placed my order. I was silver last week then this week set on gold after seeing it in store. My order was placed for silver and I’m not regretting it which is a good thing lol. I’ve never been indecisive about a color before but this year was hard I’ve wanted them all at some point. I think what ultimately made me decide on silver was someone posting here saying pick the color that lost best in the case you want. With all of the cases I’d want silver never looked bad in any of them and that was enough for me to commit to it.

Yeah I ordered silver too. Which I'll look at for about 8 seconds before putting it in a case and not see again until I trade it in next year.
 
I was dead set on pacific blue on iPhone 12 Pro, but changed my mind after seeing the real handset, silver that is for me.

I was leaning Silver for past month. But convinced last night that I would get bored with Blue, and the Graphite is same as all my iPhones in last 5 years. Got 512GB Silver 12 Pro Max, with the Plum Silicone Apple case.

I was dead sure to order PB in Pro Max until I decided to give 12 Pro a try, and that was in Pacific Blue, too. It’s a good color, but I got turned off within a week. I’m so glad that it happened, and now I have ordered 12 Pro Max in silver and can’t wait to rock it naked.

I went in to the update thinking I would get the PB, much like I got the green 11PM last year (and still think the color looks fantastic), but I was such a fan of the iPhone 4’s stainless band that I decided getting the silver made more sense.

It was that and the fact that it’s so easy to update a silver iPhone with new cases / colors, kind of like I do with my Watch bands, that having a color that works with everything was the right decision. And my wife decided the same thing, even though she too loved the green of my 11PM. But she can easily get a green leather case for her new 12 Pro and have a similar look.
 
Last year I went with the green, and even with a clear case it just looks like it is off black. So this year I went with the silver and got a Caseology clear case with a black band. I hope it looks as good as I think it will ;)
