You all realize this is just a mockup, right? Nobody actually knows if Apple will use this exact orange. I thought that was common knowledge here, but reading these comments has me second guessing.
I have a feeling that it might be more of a bright bronze color in appearance with an unexpected name. It’s funny how we get these dummy models each year with a 8-times chance of the hero color being wrong. I thought I was getting a brown copper 16 PM but instead we get this cafe con leche gold wannabe.
 
“Described as significantly lighter than any previous blue Apple has released, the color may appear almost white in low-light conditions.”

Doubt it will be lighter than the iPhone 15’s ice blue.

Bronze is just considered a shade of (brown-)orange anyway. Either way, I'm likely getting it.

Really, REALLY hope the orange/copper is more orange than copper. Love the boldness and vibrancy of the orange in some of the other renders, but if it's the copper shown here, no thanks.

I was hoping they would do a Burnt Orange. I had a 77 Chevy Monte Carlo in Burnt Orange. I usually do not care for Orange, but for some reason, I like Burnt Orange.

Your avatar made me think: how interesting it would be if Larry David played Tim Cook in the next pre-recorded event roll-in video. :) Jerry is considered the most normal of the lot, and would be my suggestion for the ousted Scott Forestall, but Craig Federichi has Jerry's body language/build so that would be a shoe-in I think. George could be Jony Ive who stopped by for lunch. OK back to your regular programming.

Only orange would get me to upgrade to a new Pro phone. Copper would definitely move the decision needle in the opposite direction, I'll stick with my 15 PM.
