iPhone 15/Plus Does anyone else think the Pro line up colors are boring compare to the regular 15 line up this year?

[Yogosans14]

I can’t stand any of the color options for the new 15 pro models, they all so dull and similar to each other. The regular 15 line up colors are gorgeous though especially the pink and yellow colors!

I have a 13 in pink and wanted to go with the pro but I hate the colors so much I’m getting a pink 15 instead. Anyone else feel the same why?

 

[Arcontia]

Nope. This year I actually had trouble deciding between Black (loved the stealthy look introduced with 14P’s Space Black), Natural Titanium (matches my titanium Apple Watch) or Blue Titanium (pleasant throwback to iPhone 12 Pro Pacific Blue and Midnight MacBook Air)

 

[Paddle1]

Yes, I think Apple just wants to emphasize the new material, the names are very simplistic this year as well. Instead of something striking like Gold, Pacific Blue or Midnight Green, "Blue Titanium" is as adventurous as it gets.

 

[sjperformance]

I think they are just fine. I like them all. I went natural 15PM.

 

[thecautioners]

I went with the natural pro max but I’m a little jealous of my partner who’s getting a pink 15. My favorite is the green. I’m slapping a guava silicone case on mine though anyway so it doesn’t particularly matter and I’m obsessed with that guava color.

I dislike all the non Pro colors, except black. They remind me of colored highlight markers.

I think the Pro colors are better this time around. The Natural, Blue, and White colors looks good.

Yeah. I liked all the options. Lack was appealing. But I was torn between white and natural. Went natural since it’s novel. But they all looked good.

 

[Kierkegaarden]

I like all of them. The black looks nicer than last year, the white looks sharp like last year, and the natural is the one I’m getting (because I still have a white 14PM).

 

[madrigal77]

No.

Titanium is more difficult to color than steel. And I think pastel colors are considered more trendy now anyways.

Personally I only want something gray, so colors do not matter to me. But it certainly seems that this year's color choices are more limited. I wonder whether inventory management is the main issue or issues around colorizing the titanium alloy come into play.

 

[Mikeske]

Color of the Pro series means nothing to me. If I get a 15 Pro Max this year the first thing is I could care less about the color as I will be slapping on a Otterbox Defender case and then the only time I see the phone naked is when I give it a bath.

 

[yoheywut]

The regular 15 colors are very feminine

 

[tomtattoo]

For years I´m hoping for ProductRed for the Pros, but this will be a dream forever, I think.

 

[Yuuuki]

Personal preference I guess. I feel the same way. Like the 15 colors way more that’s why I got myself the pink 15+
But same with iPads. Pro line looks so unbelievable boring. Air and 10 now have the best color options imo

 

[Recon73]

I love the colors. I am slapping on clear case for my Natural titanium pro max.

 

[yurgrenn]

always have been

I think the Pro lineup is decent, but the regular line is absolutely lacking. No Product Red, no silver. Just...black and 4 pastel options. I could understand having one or two pastel shades, but to offer 4 of them and have them be 80% of the lineup is just depressing. In terms of variety/choice, it isn't an exaggeration to say that this is one of the worst, if not THE worst, color lineup they've ever had.

Here's hoping next year will be better.

 

[StaceyMJ86]

I did not like the Pro color choices this year. I do like the non pro colors. I did not want to upgrade to a non pro, so I had no choice but to pick a color for the Pro Max. I was undecided between Blue Titanium and White Titanium, and settles on Blue Titanium.

Interesting, I see it the other way. All Pro colors look absolutely boring to me and as you said depressing. 15 is way more vibrant. But maybe its really a bit of a female thing to like the 15 colors more.

 

[JamesMay82]

I think they are great but do wish they offered the colours on the pro models.. my wife would love the pink as an example and I imagine women and folks would like diff colours.

 

[thatJohann]

They need to shake things up and add a set of colorful bright Pro phones while keeping the muted palette for old farts.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

I'm fine with the Pro colors. Regular 15 colors don't appeal to me at all except black.

My understanding of the Pro line is that Apple's intent is to market to business oriented customers. Hence the colors would be muted or there'd be less to choose from.

Lastly, with the exception of @Recon73 who will be using a clear case - does it really matter?

From a non-case user's perspective I don't see why it would. Most people (as has been stated on MacRumors MANY times) are going to slap their phone into a case.

 

[ascender]

Yip, but it's been the same for as long as I can remember now so they ain't going to change it any time soon. I just don't see the point though - most people will put a case on and who the hell is going to judge someone in a business meeting (do they still even happen in person) based on the colour of their phone?
