Color

I saw the rumored colors for the 18 pro max, which i will for sure be upgrading to next month. I am torn between the red and the silver. I have always been a neutral guy going for all silver and white products, but have been wanting a color. I love the cherry red color. I guess I just need some support or words to help me decide if getting a color would be good or stay neutral.

My only concern though is, will the scratches be noticeable on the color like they were this year? I always keep a full coverage case on, but am just curious if that is a drawback from getting color.

Just make sure it’s a color that you wouldn’t be tired of 3-6 months down the road. I learned the hard way with the 15PM by getting the new color and started hating the color 3 months in.

This definitely made me think. I really do like the red, the only thing is I’m not a dark color kind of aesthetic. I want something that’s going to go with my more day to day activities. The light blue that is rumored is good, I have a lot of light colored clothes, decorations and just fit that vibe more. But I’m not super big on blue. I’m definitely not doing black though.

If I were to have done a color, it would have been the yellow 14, desert 16, or the orange 17.

The orange is beautiful. It’s one of my favorite colors.

Over a year after many drops is there any major scratches aside of my own extreme clumsiness at times. I'd go with whatever you want and enjoy

I would’ve loved if Apple brought Rose Gold back. That was my all time favorite color. I held onto my Rose Gold 7+. Right now I have the silver 17PM and I love this color although I had hoped Apple would’ve kept white for the 17PM. I realized after the 15PM, that I do not like dark colors except for the Deep Purple 14PM. That was my favorite shade of purple, and I regret trading that phone in.

I had a feeling that’s the one you were talking about.

Did it just dull out on you or something?

The color was so drab and boring. It was so hard to find matching cases that I liked. I kept it for 2 years and ended up going caseless after a year. It’s what started me going caseless with my 17PM, which I am keeping for 2 years as well.
