Now that it is day 2, who of those who got the Sierra blue, love it, or was int not quiet what you thought? Personally for me I like it but seems to have a purplish hue, so still on the fence. Happy to hear other thoughts! And pics are aways welcome, especially in cases.

not quite what I thought it would be tbh. But I’m still going to keep it because blue is my fav. Color. I got bored of graphite/space gray/etc.
yeah I hear ya, same, got bored of the usual grays, whites, etc...

I really like it, and will be keeping it! I was on the fence between Sierra blue and graphite. But actually, the gold looks stunning! After seeing them in person gold would’ve been my next choice.

Honestly, it’s a nice colour.

Graphite is nice, but I had a Space Gray XS and I fancied something different. Silver looks a bit dull, I was hoping for a darker silver as the rear of it looks white. Gold is nice, but a bit too blingy.

So yeah, Sierra Blue was the option I went for.

That said, I would have loved to see a piano black version or the green from the 11 Pro.

I dont understand how the most expensive model has the worst colors. And that fingerprint magnet band...unacceptable.
well its not a fingerprint magnet at all actually IMO... they all are..

I prefer the blue on my iP 12 Pro, but will survive with an appropriate case.

I like it but in person it is not nearly as blue as I hoped it would be. I think it needed to be just a bit darker. I am definitely keeping just wish it stood out more like it does in advertising.

Like many of their colors the lighting matters a lot - inside with warm lighting the Sierra Blue does trend more towards a steely gray, but outside in sunlight it can really pop! The sides also aren't as fingerprint-magnet-y as I thought they might be, I heard the blue this year has the same kind of special treatment as the gold last year on the side rails.

Of the 4 choices, I like blue the best, but they were all boring. I like bright colors - give me just ONE vibrant choice - yellow, purple, teal. This color like the other choices is sort of "I'm an office worker" boring. I'm tired of silver/gray/black electronics. I'll add stickers to it or put a case on it. I love the 120 HZ so I'd certainly rather have the Pro in boring colors than the regular in a brighter color.
