Which is more scrumptious to thine eyeball?
Give it to me straight: no circular marketing flowery talk
Ultramarine looks bolder but the camera is a bit purpley but teal is more a chameleon light dependent

Before I opened this thread: ultramarine
After seeing this photo: teal
Yeah always gotta parse through dicey preliminary hands on videos to make a better assessment than the keynote
Agreed. I think that would be the one if getting 16 regular.
If I were getting a 16 I’d go for ultramarine. Surprised it’s so one sided here! Although perhaps it’s more ‘different’ than previous colours - unfortunately as a Pro owner I have been banned from the world of colour by Apple for many a year…
It’s not ultramarine is still winning out in the polls so far 2:1
It’s also a great color and still would be a little torn but the teal just looks unique from rest of Apple lineup
The blue reminds me of blue XR even though completely different hue just in terms of a vibe. I loved that phone and said screw it to XS coming from X back then
I think the blue really catches your eye while the green is just ok. The green isn't bad its just that to me the blue looks noticeably better. Would have to see them in person though.
I was torn. Then decided to preorder the Teal. Then had a change of heart once I saw the Ultramarine in the Star Fruit case. Like wowza. So I changed it to Ultramarine now.
I mean… 🤩

I think everybody is drunk on Teal. Ultramarine for the win.
I’ve been in love with the Ultramarine color ever since the presentation. Too bad I’m not planning to get a new iPhone this year. I might have to get the Ultramarine Apple Watch band to tide me over.
Ultramarine is absolutely stunning 🤩 if I was upgrading that’s the colour I’d choose!
I love how Ultramarine looks in the first post and when paired with the Ultramarine case (and the Starfruit case as shown earlier).
However, I don't exactly love how it looks on Apple's site. The whole phone looks light purplish to me. I would have guessed the color was 'Lilac' if I didn't know it was supposed to be blue.
I'll wait until I see the colors in person or when more reviews come out before ordering. I've always gotten black in the past, but figured it was time to get a fun color. Wish the Pros came in fun colors too.

dont take either Apple marketing photos at face value:
they look completely different than stock photos (been this way forever now, I dunno why they dont course correct - probably lots of otherwise avoidable returns but alas). Lighting angle dependent too.
Apples marketing photos are a part of the reason why i didn’t go for Sierra Blue on the 13 Pro Max back in the day. Thought it was a baby blue and really didn’t love it. Went with gold instead
Saw Sierra Blue in person and had massive regrets. absolutely a beautiful color. I was disappointed in my Gold 13PM ever since that day.
I just ordered a 16 in Teal. It’s actually the only time I’ve ordered an iPhone online without fondling it first!
