So, they have done the following for flaships since 2019: Midnight Green, Pacific Blue, Sierra Blue, Alpine Green (Mid cycle) and now Purple.

Hmm, I wonder what are they gonna do for mid cycle? I am suspecting that leaked blue that didn't show up?

But the bigger question, whats gonna be the flagship color for the iPhone 15 Pro/Max? I am suspecting Lavender.
 
The Dynamic Pill Island is a very creative method for making what was an eyesore to most people into an interactive "feature" which draws you in instead of annoying you; it's honestly brilliant. The only complaint I have about it is, they could very easily adapt that paradigm to all of the phones sporting notches... but I'm not exactly optimistic that any such thing is forthcoming.

Muddy Brown or Beige
 
Does it really matter what color the phone is when you're going to cover it with a case?
Hard to do when the new Apple case offerings aren't in any good colors...
I find it wild that anyone considers this acceptable. But each to their own, I’ll stick with what I’ve got for another year and hope they start shoving things behind the screen next year.
I don't watched videos zoomed in like this, so it won't affect me.

Most movies are wider (aspect ratio 21:9) than the iPhone screen (aspect ratio 19.5:9). So you either zoom in and lose the edges or fit to the width of the phone and get black bars at the top and bottom. Either way the island will be cut out of the screen as shown in Apple’s demonstration. If you don’t watch ultra wide video you may never experience this, but for those of us who do, the notch is going to be much less distracting than the island due to the fact there are no pixels lit up on the far side of it.

Well I WAS gonna get the purple but I'm not liking the black or dark dark purple which ever color it is, around the camera lens. Should be the same color as the phone body. HHhhhhh
 
Yup, 48mp sensor and no 8K? Not even a promise for later on? What, we have to wait for the iPhone 15 for 8K? The satellite connectivity is cool through!
Yeah I feel like an ass. Turned out to be an incremental update after all. Actually they lost TWO sales. Really blew this one. Blackmagic 6k pocket cinema's getting these bucks. My 12 promax is a FINE phone until they cough up 8k video and 2 terrabytes.

Nostalgic for your old iPhone 5, Mity?
No, I'm not. But at least it made sense to only have 4 apps on the smaller screen of the older iPhones. On the newer iPhones, it just looks stupid.

Below is the Pixel 6 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Look how much better the layout is on Android. It's almost 2023 and the fact that Apple still can't get this right is ridiculous.
