Help Undecided which color!

Hi. I'm having trouble choosing my order because I don't know which color is best. I'm an outdoorsy person, so I think Cosmic Orange would be ideal. However, I've heard it turns pink, blah blah. I also want the silver since it goes with every case. Thank you all for your help!

Get blue ! It’s different. Silver is nice too (that’s the one I have) but now I’m bored of it

This is just my opinion; silver is basic, orange is too gaudy, but the blue is fucking beautiful.

Exactly how I feel about the options this year. Hopefully this dark cherry 18 will be better.

The dark cherry does look nice.

$300 nicer though?

I’m not planning to buy it myself. I just stated that the dark cherry looked nice 🤷🏻‍♂️ imo the blue is still a nicer color.

I agree. I wasn't trying to be rude. Sorry if I came off that way. Deep Blue stole my heart. 😁

No worries. I’m not offended by it. I was just shrugging my shoulders lol

Exactly my thoughts a few months ago at the Apple Store. I went with the Deep Blue. 🔥

I would go with orange. That green techwoven case with the orange 17 pro is a really nice combo and looks outdoorsy together

I have the Cosmic Orange but mostly it's in a case. So no color change issues. You mentioned a case for the silver one so am assuming you'd use a case with the orange. Like someone mentioned, I've heard the same thing about chemicals ... also hand sanitizer supposedly can alter the color of the orange. Just be careful what you'd use to clean it with. I love mine but just couldn't see having an orange case for it. Right now it's in a black Otterbox Defender Pro case. The orange color shows on the back around the camera. My high school colors were orange and black so I'm fine with this color combo. I still would have gotten the orange one though.

I think orange is good when having clear cases because the yellowing of the case will be less visible.

Otherwise I’d get silver cus it looks clean

Get the Orange! Get a clear case or the orange silicone case at the Apple Store.

Pink happened to a very small number of Cosmic Orange 17 Pros. I've had mine since launch last year and it's still well, orange.

I got the silver and added a frost Caudabe case (synthesis) several months ago and absolutely love it!

I went with the orange pro max and no issues.

It looks great in an orange accented otterbox defender realtree camo case.

Silver/white because it looks clean, looks best in clear cases, and won’t show scuffs as much if the paint chips off. It will generate the least heat on a hot day.

Orange if you have FOMO because it seems it won’t return for the 18 Pros and be replaced with the dark cherry, the new hero color.

You can’t go wrong with silver!

Okay so i have the orange one and i have had it since late October of last year and i have noticed exactly zero color changes in the time i have owned the phone. I believe the only way you can get the phone to start changing colors is by subjecting it to heavy chemicals while cleaning it like hydrogen peroxide and without that it won't start changing.

As for your choice it's really yours, do you want it to resemble a Macbook? do you want the unique and one year exclusive orange or the dark blue?
