Lol, you’re going to keep a phone and forsake new features and possible redesign, if given the chance to swap!?
Yea that makes perfect sense 😂😂😂
 
It’s a color…. Happy you’re enthralled with it.

rinse repeat next year.. with whatever new color is introduced.
Enthralled? Lol. Sounds like you’re projecting your own inner struggles on random strangers on the Internet.

It’s just a color. A nice color to be sure, but just a color. Nothing that’d affect my usual 2-3 year upgrade cycle since the 4s.

Be honest, how often do you look at the back of your phone? Especially if you're using cases.
I’ve got a clear case on the mighty graphite.. wife has a clear on the Sierra. Both look so damn nice it would be a crime to not check it out occasionally.

I’m going to be returning mine… but not because of the colour

five or six times per day I get a No SIM Installed message and have to flick Airplane mode on and off a couple of times to fix it.

So you already troubleshooted the phone through your carrier and apple?
 
Lol!! My first time! I usually go for the newest color, but decided to skip “blue” since I had pacific blue.
I had pac blue as well (12 pro max) but this blue color was different enough for me to go for it again. The glacier like color with hints of silver is magnificent. With all the rest of the colors being standard from last year it was an easy pick and after 5 days its a keeper. We shall see what the iPhone 14 has to offer next year! ;)

I’m waiting for a new SIM from my carrier to be totally sure. But it works fine in my old 12, XR, SE, 8 and 6.

So I’m guessing it’s the phone - especially as a few others are encountering it too.

love the phone, can’t wait for everything to be working 100%
 
I’m debating returning mine for graphite or silver. SB is nice, but I’m not sure it’s for me. Gotta admit I did buy into the marketing hype of it.

It’s real! I almost turned in my graphite for SB. Local apple store had a 256 and 1TB in stock today. 😂😂. Glad I came to my senses… graphite is a classy executive color, besides my phone is in a case anyway!
 
Sierra Blue is so beautiful, much much better than the marketing pics tbh. In-person, it's more silvery blue than straight up sky blue or something. I hope they keep this color but seems like it's a one time and done deal like Midnight green (loved) and pacific blue (didn't like)

True, I go caseless and apple leather case from time to time. Just seems like i catch the SB color at the wrong time. looks more blue/purple to me. Probably just the lighting, but lets see what happens in the next few days.

It’s definitely not purple, more of a bluey grey, or ice blue

Should be against the law, when returning this breathtaking, beautiful thing.

Ok! I have 2 days left to return my phone, and I wanted to be sure I’m wasn’t missing out on something , so I stopped over at Best Buy to take yet another look at this SB phone, and nothing!

I turned and twisted it around in the light and maaaaaaaybe as I was walking away I saw a shade that made me say “hmph!…but no love at first site… maybe it’s me peepers but I’ll just stick with graphite until next year, UNLESS I find a 512gb option.

I think what’s driving my insanity is that I usually pick the newest color just for the heck of it, this is my first time going with an established color. Oh well I give it 5 months until more are out in the wild and people see the color everywhere it’ll get old like anything else….😎😉😏

Nothing wrong with that. It’s personal preference, so no wrong choice here.
