They need to bring back pacific blue😠

My fav color up to this point, although that Alpine Green on the 13 Pros and the Purple on the 14 Pros give it a serious run for its money

gucciliousgangious t1_j8g7x5u wrote

I got the 14 pro max in purple. It’s a nice color and in some lighting the camera bump looks a little blue but I hate that’s they’re trying to be original. Bring Back Blue💙😭

DaOrcus t1_j8glsep wrote

Purple on the 12 mini/base is the best purple imo, it’s such a perfect purple

tetenc555 t1_j8i96rb wrote

yeah, same as the purple in the 11. is crazy how the colors on the base modes always looked better for me

I personally feel that Purple is an extremely underwhelming color. It may just preference, but the purple looks very ordinary. I feel people are liking it just cause its a new tone that Apple came up with.

I agree, unless you’re under extremely bright conditions you may as well have space grey. I had a clear case at first despite hating the appearance of them and immediately regretted it and replaced it with a latercase.

Robertbnyc t1_j8i9bcg wrote

What is a latercase made of?

Kickmeiamadog t1_j8ib7xv wrote

Aramid fibres (Kevlar), claims to be stronger than steel 🤷🏻 I had one for my iPhone X, survived being dropped down the stairs several times, into the bath and from the loft bouncing off a metal ladder with only minor scuffs than cleaned away. Doesn’t claim to be anything other than a tactile case that’s ultra slim; but I’ve only ever had to replace screen protectors after 4 years of use. Only visible damage on the 5 year old phone is some scratches on the glass edge above the notch.

I waited for the 14 release to see what colours they’d have. Wasn’t into hem, so settled for a 13PM in green. I love it.

FVMAzalea t1_j8hu32n wrote

And the blue from the iPhone 12 and also the watch series 6 blue. I have them both and I really like them.

I second this. I loved my Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max and miss it dearly since switching to the 13 Pro Max.

Robertbnyc t1_j8i9edg wrote

What color do you have now. That’s the blue that I have, thinking of upgrading to the 14 but may wait for the 15 since there will be dramatic updates

ChuckF93 t1_j8ipabu wrote

I have the Sierra Blue currently. It’s definitely grown on me, but that dark Pacific Blue was really pretty.

Ok but seriously including shitty old wired headphones with every iPhone is an environmental disaster

So include a voucher where you can get them if you want.

I use them in noisy spaces to bring the mic closer.

Or… and this gets pretty radical

If you still want a pair of wired headphones in 2023

Meh, at this point they’d have to include AirPods. Don’t wanna end up with another 5 earbuds I’ll never use - although they are nice to have laying around as a backup. Which is why I still have 2-3 pairs, and probably even a completely unused pair too.

paramgyani t1_j8gtpoh wrote

Why should i buy them, they were free for years now they are problem & in return none of the companies reduced the price of the phone even a little bit, fuck these companies

Abeleria t1_j8h1mnp wrote

And they are crying like "We care bout environment!" while selling chargers in another box

34

Tomphunt t1_j8ihlcn wrote

I though it was the funniest thing that they pulled the charger stunt literally ome year after switching to usb-c bricks and usb-c to lightning cables in the box. So litrrally everyone upgrading from an older iphone would have to buy a new brick and damage the environment even more.

The charger being removed is just a way for apple to maintain their profuts without increasing the phone's price. Considerimg that the 1000 dollar price tag has been a thing for nearly 6 years now, I guess It's somewhat understandable.

You do get a new cable with each phone, so what exactly are you complaining about?

Backas_Before_Work t1_j8heuqb wrote

Bought an iPhone for my mom who lives in a third world country. I didn’t know it didn’t come with a charger and didn’t realize they changed to usb C ports.

Quality usb C chargers in a third world country are over $50 usd when shipped and cleared. Everything else available were cheap Chinese knockoffs. Ultimately this meant it took over a month before she could use the new phone.

Abeleria t1_j8h7g4y wrote

I mean not everyone get a new phone every year and I don't think Apple chargers are in a usable condition after 2 or 2.5 years of everyday usage

[deleted] t1_j8h7j1y wrote

I’ve been using the same charger for 6 years now. Little scratches, perfectly functional.

Abeleria t1_j8h7nkj wrote

My last iphone was a 6s and its brand new charger did only survive for 1.5 years so I was speaking from my experience

TimaeGer t1_j8hynqc wrote

They should just put in vouchers in the box so that you can get one for free if you need one.

Not putting in one in every box is absolutely the right thing tho. So much e waste

2

ChairmanLaParka t1_j8inykp wrote

Voucher could instead be just a code on the back of the paperwork that you can use to get one.

Would be nice if it was a one of those Anker GaN style chargers though.

didiboy t1_j8ixuu0 wrote

In that case, just put the charger in the box. You know that most consumers will claim their free charger even if they don’t need it, just because it’s “free”.

TimaeGer t1_j8iyvqr wrote

I reckon many wouldn’t. Who wants to have dozens of unused chargers at home. The EU is even drafting a law that is banning that iirc

paramgyani t1_j8q6bm4 wrote

Either put the charger and earphone in the box or reduce the price of the devices by a good margin. That is the only solution

Technoboy321 t1_j8h2zg6 wrote

who would want wired headphones, most people already have a charger to

paramgyani t1_j8h48eq wrote

Ok friend apple stop giving the charger and gave usb C to lightning cable, i have an Usb A charger now where do i plug it, in my ass. and i still use wired headphones from time to time when sleep, they are cheap and i am not worried about losing or breaking them, i have bluetooth earphone but they are not that durable and r costly

t0b33 t1_j8hrsm9 wrote

So you want Apple to give you cheap stuff so you can loose or break it, yeah that’s seems very sensible. /s

paramgyani t1_j8q5js9 wrote

All those fancy AirPods and wireless bluetooth earphones are so expensive and they get lost or break easily and on top of that they don’t last that long, you cannot replace the batteries on them, compared to a wired earphone which do not need charging and can last a really long time, i get it why apple had to remove the 3.5 mm jack, and apple was giving them earphones for years now they have become e hazard suddenly, seriously why do people defend this i don’t understand

I forgot how pink these were. I wear rose gold jewelry a lot and I keep imagining that the phones had more of the copper tint to them, rather than pink.

Jewels1914 t1_j8hcn4w wrote

They have had a variety of pastels like that on the base models ever since the 11. The pros could definitely use more fun colors though and can be depressing to look at lol. The pacific blue was the only one.

They have light colors with every model, they just happen to be simple and not flashy.

Absolutely. I once got a Sony phone back in the day because it was bright pink.

The pink from the iphone 13 lineup felt half hearted, i hope the release a proper pink phone.

I just wish they had some light colours in the orange/yellow spectrum

Nothing wrong with liking pink. I personally love relatively dark colors with pink accents. But... the rose gold definitely is just another name for pink lol.

Both men and women are buying the darker hued devices first. Men who dragged their feet to get a device pre-pandemic had no choice but to get pink devices and be the butt-end of the jokes amongst BOTH men and women in their sphere.

snowqueenn t1_j8h7fmf wrote

People say that color never sold, but I remember being in high school and at least 15 girls in my dance team alone had rose gold iPhones, myself included. It was such a pretty color, if they brought it back I’d buy a new phone in a heartbeat :(

(Apple, if you’re listening… hint, hint.)

I 💯 percent AGREE! This is the kinda pink/rose gold we want!

ExtensionTap5057 t1_j8h43oo wrote

I'm curious as to how many Apple products don't sell simply because the Rose Gold devices are usually the last to leave the shelves and I can't count how many times I myself have been told that it was "the laaaast available color." Think the newest version of Rose Gold and the new Starlight tints were the best way to stop customers from feeling slighted by carriers & establishments looking to scalp overages for the demand of more popular colors in comparison.

Ty13rlikespie t1_j8hbhpp wrote

I was always meh on it. I do think it should come back purely for more options for those that like it. Especially because it was a staple for so long. But personally it wasn’t for me. I’m much more a fan of the colors they’ve been doing more recently. Greens, Blues and Purples.

I love that color! I’d get one in that color in a heartbeat. It’s the same shade/ hue as the purple. My go to is usually Product Red but it looks more orange as time went on so I settled w Purple. I do miss it when it was the deep lipstick red.

Regardless of what colors they’re planning to bring out next, I just wish they’d put matte sides on the edges of the phones. I hate the stainless steel edges. They scratch so easily and pick up fingerprints.
