What the hell Apple? šŸ™„

I, and many others, go with the more professional looking black or grey every year and now you just skip those colors entirely?! Not even a natural titanium type of option? Kind of tired of Apple half-assing the dark option with ā€œmidnightā€ or ā€œdeep blueā€ which are NOT the same šŸ‘ŽšŸ»

Pretty disappointed with the lack of a black or grey this year. Especially since they gave these color options to both the regular 17 and 17 Air. Anyone else feel the same and are simply ā€œsettlingā€ for the deep blue?

Dbrand is your friend
Was hoping to use an arc pulse case this year, which the Dbrand won’t work with.

I mean Apple was fine giving us a black techwoven case, but look how janky the colors look against one another šŸ˜•

Why not give us a simple black or grey Apple?

Apple probably thinks aluminum black would look too boring. It won’t look premium like older glass back iPhones

I have always had a running joke about the colors of my iPhones. The new iPhone gets unboxed and goes right into it waiting case never to been seen until it get pulled out for cleaning or a new case.
 
Always go Silver/White or ā€žNaturalā€œ for titanium (phone and watch) so I don’t care. I hate black/dark phones.

And what the color of oneā€˜s smartphone has to do with professionalism goes beyond my understanding.

Perhaps this is Apple's way of saying the creative professionals use the Pro and the business professionals can go with the classic colors of the Air.
 
The regular 17 and Air color look great by comparison. Seems like Apple had to **** things up simply for the sake of change.

How disappointing for the ā€œproā€ phones… šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø
