As someone who only ever uses a case when I go drinking and whose favorite color is red, I'm looking forward to it. The new reds aren't dark enough.

End of story. That's all she wrote. This is what apple users have to look forward to. Sad. And maybe an m3 chip to check your Hotmail and do wordle faster. This is where the science of marketing and coasting collide.

I can't believe people allow apple to dictate what's cool.

I don’t use a case or screen protector. They’re too expensive, and offer no additional protection imo. Phones these days are pretty durable. My phone rides in my pocket with my keys and the screen is fine. Some pretty minor paint scuffs on the aluminum near the bezel and that’s it. Phone cases are unnecessary

Plus, I’d rather carry a cracked screen than an ugly af screen protector and an inelegant phone case.

It’s like buying a ferrari and wrap it into a case so it doesn’t get bumps when you’re driving.

To be fair, back in iPhone 12 mini days, I got sad that they released a purple model much later. I had a white one but the purple just looked better. Now I’m happy with my pink iPhone 13 mini.

And to reply to all those “but cases!” People: I use transparent silicone ones because I like the color of the phone.

The person you’re replying to is selling hyperbole anyway. Very few people are trading in their phones for color changes, and it’s certainly no more common for iPhones than it is for any other brand. This is just tired Apple fan bashing tripe, as is the Reddit way.

Not saying you’re wrong per se, but saying “innovation is dead” about the product after the one that’s still not even released is a bit of a bold statement. That generation could be the one to upload your brain to the cloud. Probably not, but you probably shouldn’t call innovation dead based off rumors of an un-announced phone.

Yes. I might like a specific colour of iPhone, but the only time I see it is when I’m cleaning the rear lenses and the 2 or 3 times a year I take it out of the massive folio case to give everything a clean.

Granted it’s not the norm, I have personally seen at least 3 cases where people got the 13 pro in sierra blue the traded it in for the whatever it’s called green version some months later and then doing the same with the 14 to get that purple.

Apple knows what it’s doing. They always have one stand out color because it’s a very visible and clear sign that you have the latest version and it does push sales, even if not for the majority

Does anyone else get skins for your phones, like dbrand? They look so much better in my opinion, and you can make your current phone whatever color you want! Talk about innovation, don't have to buy a new phone for a color.

You can swap iphone housings, for the average Joe it might be difficult, but there are tons of options. I had build a lime green iphone 7 back then, or you can even swap the backglas of the newer iPhones, I swapped my iphone 12 mini's backglas to an anime themed one.

Oh I didn’t know this, so maybe it was a bad analogy. I don’t know much about cars but it looks decent from a quick google search.

What I was suggesting is, it’s not worth making the phone ugly just to not crack it.

New phones are pretty durable.

I’m not saying you’re exactly wrong, but is this really exclusive to Apple? What in particular does Samsung (or any Android manufacturer) have to offer that’s so groundbreaking or special?

I think it’s just the nature of the current market in general, and that continued refinement has led to a stagnation.

Isn’t it hard to use without a case? It’s slippery and not very grip friendly. I have AppleCare+ but still use a case for this reason plus that the phone won’t stay on car dashboards without something more grippy on it.

I worked at T-Mobile and I can guarantee you that majority of customers who upgraded their phones did so because they liked a color on the new phone, even if the specs were almost the same and the phone had the same size and number of cameras

Replying to Notyourfathersgeek (#1,967,189)

Depends what your daily life looks like. I do grocery delivery and DoorDash so I’m walking while holding my phone in one hand, getting in and out of my car dozens of times per day, walking on stairs and asphalt frequently, etc. I feel like I’d probably have issues at least with the screen if I dropped it in the course of my regular job…and I don’t want to find out whether I’m right or not. So the $20-40 case is worth my peace of mind, especially compared to the $150-250 it would cost to get a replacement with the insurance I have on the phone.

gdwoodard13 t1_j9ujqlm wrote

Replying to Sei28 (#1,969,046)

Do you prefer AppleCare+ to insurance from your cell service carrier? I have AT&T and pay $15 a month for their Advantage Protection plan, and then it’s $150 to replace the phone if I have a breakage. It seems like AppleCare+ would be cheaper overall and a better deal, but I’m not sure.

Steelersfan20009 t1_j9upbjt wrote

Don’t think I’ll be getting another iPhone. I switched from android back in 2017 and got a 6 plus. It lasted till about 2021 then I got the 12 pro max which I really like but they really dropped the ball on the 13 and 14. I mean normally they change very little but the 13 is no different from the 12 and the 14 just has that dynamic island which I don’t care for.

I gotta start researching other phones but from the looks of it I’ll probably go with a pixel. Way cheaper and has a great camera and much more you can do with it. I do love the compatibility of the iPhone and will miss iMessage but that’s about it

Thanks! I’d never had an iPhone until my current phone that I got in December 2021 so I wasn’t sure how AppleCare worked. I saw some price breakdowns online but I wanted to ask a real customer because I know that if I asked Apple, or AT&T, both would be more likely to tell me the positives of their plans and gloss over the negatives.

have you ever not broken a phone? because I have my last 3 stacked up collecting dust now because I have an issue, but they are unscratched /cracked! I do prefer the slimmer form factor and sleekness of a caseless phone though, I just can't do it.

I’m just happy to have a good upgrade path from my iPhone 11, this phone on its last legs but I’m holding out to make a bigger jump than the 14.

I travel between California and Arizona and there’s a large stretch with no cell service where I’ve had flat tires before, will like having emergency text satellite access.

mrphyslaww t1_j9usxum wrote

Yawn

Phones are becoming a mature tech and won’t need to be purchased nearly as often.

I’ve got AT LEAST another 3-4 years before I even consider purchasing, and the upgrade will likely be a simple “battery is going to shit and I probably should get more storage.”

TLDR;

Do people actually care about phone color?

Doesn’t everyone just cover them with cases anyway?

Replying to TheNuclearMind (#1,969,054)

Statistically that is untrue. They might choose the new color because they like it, but as cited elsewhere in this thread, iPhones actually stay in people’s hands more than Android devices, which would seem to suggest the frequent color changes are not a relevant factor when upgrading.

iPhone 12Pro, went caseless maybe a year or so after launch. The leather case was shit for the 12, and the few other cases I tried I didn’t like. There are a bunch of dings and scratches, the blue on the side bezel is coming off, but otherwise it’s held up well. I drop it at least once a week. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cracked the back glass but got it replaced (fell flat on its back on bathroom tiles. Tiles won). I’ve been caseless for a while now on the 12 pro. I drop it at least once a week, sometimes outside on concrete. It’s held up quite well. A few dings and scratches but overall I’m satisfied with the build quality.
