iPhone 11 Pro The Silver Looks Good! Thoughts?

I had silver iPhones for a long time... this time I went with Gold to change it up. Silver is nice, but I got tired of it. Needed a change.
Yes, I think it’s the best color in the lineup. However, I think all the Pro colors look great with frosted glass back.
it looks very good (one of my favorite): the only flip side is that the sides can get scratches very quickly because they are stainless steel.
IMO that's one of the best things about it! Because it's plain stainless steel, it's the ONLY one that can be polished with a Cape Cod cloth (or Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish) to look brand new, in about five minutes. That's why I got a white iPhone X and again this year with the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The only problem with silver, IMO, is that it shows up too much if you take pictures through windows in a dark room (on an airplane/train, at the aquarium, etc) whereas darker phones’ reflections are harder to see. Otherwise, yeah - the white is awesome. The back basically never gets dirty or shows fingerprints (I’ve wiped mine off once or twice, in the past almost two weeks) and the stainless steel is polishable. Love it.
The bolded bit is why I got a silver XS last year but as time went on I grew less fond of the raw steel frame. It was just too flashy for me and I couldn't wait to get back to my space gray this year. I love the white frosted back of this years model but I'm always in Apple Leather so ultimately all that matters is the frame.
Yep, Apple leather cases have the open bottom which is what faces me all day while it sits on my desk.
The silver is great, longtime fan & owner of silver iPhones here; I really wanted to go back to a silver iPhone for my 11 Pro Max, until I saw how the cameras stuck out with silver paint around them. Don't get me wrong, the 11 Pro silver, and gold, are both stunning, and I would love to have either one!
For me, this time, I chose space gray because I liked how the cameras were much more subtle, having the black paint around them. I'm a bit of a photography enthusiast, and don't like device reflections on windows, so....

I love the way the frosted back looks on the white. I think silver is the best this year.
I didn't think about that, but you're right. I guess it would be good to use a dark case to the aquarium, if nowhere else.
Saw a gold Pro in the wild today in a clear case. It was FLAWLESS!!!
Waiting on my silver pro max to come today but I did really like my silver X. My gold Xs max is nice too but I think the silver looks more classic. That’s why I went back to silver.
