I have had the silver one the past several years but finally changed it up this year and got graphite. Anyone else? Is this the same graphite as last year? How does it look?
Got a tip for us?

Not as fresh as the Sierra Blue.
Sure, the pastel Blue is perfect for a 12 year old or female.
Are you going to rub your Graphite 13 Pro in your manly chest hair when you get it?
Who said I got Graphite? I was just checking out the thread. Wanted to see some of the idiotic comments that have absolutely no relevance to the OP question.
Yes, very intelligent and meaningful post you made....🙄
No excitement here, its been the same for the last 10 plus years.
That'll explain your mood then. Any comments on the iPhone?
I wasn't fully thrilled with what they brought to the table but at the same time not totally disappointed. I realized going into the event this was an in between cycle year or "S" update. I think that can be said every year though as there is always things left to be desired in some fashion. I will say this is the first year in as long as I can remember I was actually considering NOT upgrading coming from the 12 PM...but here I am. Its going to be a hell of a phone though, especially those coming from older versions.
“No excitement here”.
Dude, you’re literally in a thread that isn’t only about the launch of the phone you clearly don’t like, it’s actually about a particular colour of said phone. I find it super weird you would come in as some type of kill joy? No offense is meant but obviously all are welcome but strange take none the less.
Newly minted Graphite gangster here. Was gonna go with Sierra Blue but realized last minute that I'm not manly enough to really rock it with confidence.
12 Pro in Graphite. Coming from my old faithful iPhone 6s which is going to feel like quite an improvement.
I had the Sierra blue in my cart but figured once the new wears off that I will be happier with a black or silver phone since they match cases better.
Not trying to be a kill joy. I mean its not my first rodeo pre ordering a phone is what I meant so sorry if that offended anyone. Don't get me wrong, I am anxious to get my hands on the new device as there are certain features which caused me to upgrade from my 12 PM. Also before jumping to conclusions, I actually stopped to answer the OP questions as it turns out my 12 PM is the color he purchased so could potentially lend some insight there.
Back on topic here....

Is this the same graphite as last year? How does it look?
Yes, from what we can tell from the press photos its exactly the same. Which isn't a bad thing. Graphite is obviously not the flashiest color of the bunch, but is probably the most versatile if you plan on running a case in terms of color combinations. I haven't owned Silver in a few years now since they introduced the raw stainless edges as they look horrible over time. At least with the colored options you have the PVD coating to help with longevity. Overall, I think you will be happy with your choice. There really isn't a bad decision as it all boils down to personal preference but this should be a nice change of pace coming from the same color for the past few years.
I went graphite this year. I haven't had a "black" variant since the iPhone X. I went red XR and then green 11 Pro Max and now 13 Pro Max graphite.
Did the same thing and it appears to be the same graphite color from last year. The silver iPhones look great, but I just wanted to change it up this time around.
I was all gung ho for Sierra Blue but then I looked at it more and more... and it was just that bit too pastel for me.
So I opted for graphite. I would have loved a dark red or something (not product red)

I usually choose the newest colors, but since none of the other colors caught my eye, I figured this was the perfect opportunity to get graphite!
This.
By the time iPhone 14 comes out, Sierra Blue will seem outdated.
2021: Everyone will see you have the latest iPhone
2022: Everyone will see you have last year's iPhone.
I'm into my iPhones (and Apple products at large), and I for one do not pay such close attention to things like that to draw such conclusions.
I buy my tech based on what I like, not what others think. I still have a series 3 watch, don't care what anyone else thinks.
