Does anybody regret their color decision of their iPhone 11/11 Pro?

As the title states, does anybody regret their color decision? I got an 11 Pro Max, Midnight Green. While I really like the color, I find any case other than clear or green to look a bit weird. Likely just my own perception.

Feeling like I should I have gone Space Gray or Silver. So wouldn’t go as far saying regret, BUT think I’d be happiest with Space Gray. Anybody make a return just for color swap, or beyond their return window wishing they’d have selected a different color?

Went with the black iPhone 11, with no regrets, looks good in and out of case.

Exactly why I never go with any “fad” colors. I’ve always had silver, black or space gray. Never once regretted my decision.
This time around I got an iPhone 11 Pro Max in space gray. It’s gorgeous.

I got the midnight green but doesn’t make a difference because I have a case on all the time . My opinion it doesn’t matter what color you have unless you carry your phone without a case . Nobody will know what color I have because of the case .

No sir. I do not regret purchasing my gold iPhone 11 Pro Max. It’s a gorgeous device and I enjoy using it a great deal. No regrets whatsoever.

Except the gigantic camera bump that matches the rest of the phone . Some cases (including one of mine) show the top and bottom bezels too. There are also the clear cases. Not a fan myself though.

I have never chosen a phone because of color. But to each their own.

For my iPhone XR, I got specifically for the yellow. Loved it so much I got clear cases. But also got a few other color cases for days that yellow was too much.

Nope. I really like my gold 11 Pro especially when not using a case. I even like when the fingerprints are on the gold stainless steel frame and it almost looks like a copper penny.

I get it. It is partially a fashion accessory to a lot of people.
Mine spends about 90% of its time in my pocket so I guess it doesn’t matter to me.

I didn't in the past and always had either silver or black phones. Then I got a blue one in 2012, followed by red, then two more blue. I went back to silver in 2017, but now I'm back to blue. I have both clear and black cases, so blue either shows or doesn't, depending on which cases I choose.

Got the 11 Pro Midnight Green and I love it. I use cases occasionally but they are usually black or clear so it doesn’t clash or anything.

I have usually bought a silver or gold model the last couple of upgrades. But the new green 11 Pro just caught my eye and I don’t regret buying one and not looking back.

Nope, I have no regrets with my color choice of Midnight Green (11 Pro Max), and I have received several compliments so far. I use a clear case and a Forest Green  Leather case, but I saw a Saddle Brown  Leather case on a MG and it looked really NICE, that will probably be my next case. The MG is a welcomed changed from my normal SG/Black iPhone(s).

I usually get silver or space gray.. I had gold last time (first time getting gold) and I was kinda over it by the time the 11pro max came out. I had rose gold 6s plus (more like pink 6s plus) and I found it clashed with a lot of colored cases. Even with just a little bit of color poking through. I like the silver best with space gray/black close second. Idk if I’d do a colors phone again.. I’ve seen rumors for this year and midnight blue being an option. Idk though... as of now next year will be silver again.

I chose gold for my 11 Pro Max. I don’t regret it but would have just as happy with SG or MG. I would prefer matte black, including the metal trim over any of the current colors.

I’m loving my space gray 11 pro Max. I only use clear cases or rhino shield bumpers on it. I don’t want to cover that gray up.
