So… The Pixel 6 Professional set a excessive bar for aesthetic design for me, which suggests each new telephone popping out must be at the least nearly as good wanting in an effort to get my seal of approval.
On the identical time, huge telephone makers (save for Google) appear to be entering into the other way, and the most recent instance of that’s the newest iPhone 16 leak, which reveals us Apple’s upcoming vanilla flagship in 5 colours.
And the place do I start…
Leaked iPhone 16 colours look uninspiring: Will Apple ever discover the appropriate shade of blue and inexperienced?
Leaked iPhone 16 dummies.
To be clear, we’re taking a look at iPhone 16 dummies, so there’s an opportunity the ultimate colours/shades we get in September may range.
Keep in mind that Apple may nonetheless apply the particular expertise, the place the colours of the iPhone 16 are “infused” into the rear glass, which might find yourself making the colours you see right here much more muted, and… totally different.
That being stated, I discover the (alleged) new colour choice for the iPhone 16 to be extremely uninspiring, and if these are certainly the ultimate colours, I am unable to see myself shopping for a brand new iPhone 16 (with out placing it in a case).
The place’s the colour selection, Apple?
I get it – Tim Cook dinner & Co depend on market analysis and gross sales numbers in relation to choosing the brand new iPhone colours, however this isn’t precisely just like the “one dimension suits all” resolution that works so properly with iPhone shows. Colours are a matter of style…
I used to be amongst the primary telephone nerds to complain concerning the washed out colours of the iPhone 15 lineup when it got here out, however once I stated “Apple ought to use a bit extra paint”, this isn’t what I meant in any respect.
The iPhone 16’s colours appear to have accomplished a full 180, and now they appear wealthy however because of the weird shades, in addition they look uninspiring, and simply… not enjoyable.
Alleged blue and inexperienced iPhone 16 don’t look as trendy because the blue iPhone 12 and iPhone 15; the place’s the yellow iPhone?
The inexperienced possibility isn’t my favourite shade of inexperienced both. The iPhone 13 inexperienced regarded deeper and extra refined, whereas the iPhone 15’s “barely inexperienced” shade seems tremendous contemporary and minimal. Except it seems white, which it usually does.
If the Pixel 9 seems like an iPhone, Google does colours higher than Apple.
I imply… Simply take a look at the inexperienced and pink Pixel 9 renders! That’s the way you do it, Apple… Oh, and the place’s the yellow iPhone 16?! And the pink one?!
And orange… and purple… and… OK, I’ll cease now.
What about you? Do you care concerning the colour of your iPhone, or do you simply slap a case on it and overlook concerning the colour instantly?
