Which iPhone 12 Color Should You Buy?

Published

on

There are four iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max colors and six iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 colors to choose from. You’ll want to pick wisely so you don’t wind up with a color you hate down the road.

We’ve gone over iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro storage options and in this guide we’ll walk you through the different iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max colors and help you decide which one is best for you and your tastes.

With the iPhone 13 release date fast approaching, we don’t expect Apple to add any more iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro colors to the mix.

iPhone 12 Color Options

Apple sells the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini in six colors. They include:

  • White
  • Black
  • Yellow
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Product(RED)
  • Purple

iPhone 12 Pro Color Options

The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max come in four colors including:

  • Graphite
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Pacific Blue

It’s worth noting that the front of the iPhone 12’s design shows a little of the color, but you still get a black bezel around the display. That means you don’t need to worry about the front bezel color.

iPhone 12 Color Wear and Discoloration Issues

While you might be worried about an iPhone 12 color like white turning yellow over time or a color like blue fading away, you shouldn’t worry too much.

We’ve been using models like the iPhone XS, iPhone X, and iPhone 8 Plus for years and haven’t noticed any real change to the colors.

It’s important to note that Apple covers the color in glass. While the back glass can certainly scratch, it’s strong and this hasn’t been an issue for us in the past.

So, at this point, there’s no need to let worries about discoloration influence your decision.

iPhone 12 Colors and Cases

If you plan on using a case with your new phone, think about what color case you’ll use. You’ll also want to think about the case’s design.

Some of you ultimately might decide that the color of your device doesn’t matter since a case will be covering up most of the design’s color.

You will definitely notice the color if you plan on using a clear case and you’ll also notice the color through the case’s camera cutouts.

That means some of you might want to select the color that best aligns with the case you’ll be using.

Who Should Buy the White iPhone 12?

White is a classic iPhone color and it’s a little more catchy than the black. It should also pair well with most iPhone 12 cases out there.

As we’ve noted in the past, if you like your phone color to complement your wardrobe, not accent it, white is a fantastic choice.

Who Should Buy the Black iPhone 12?

Black is another classic color and the black iPhone 12 should pair well with any case. It offers a completely black edge around to the screen.

If you care about a black edge around the content you watch on your device, this is a solid option.

Who Should Buy the Blue iPhone 12?

The blue iPhone 12 is on darker side, but lighter than the black.

If you want something other than black, but still want a classic look that pairs well with most cases and wardrobes, blue might be the way to go.

Who Should Buy the Green iPhone 12?

The green iPhone 12 keeps the pastel feel from last year, but it’s a bit lighter than the green iPhone 11.

The green iPhone 12 is a great option if you want bright iPhone or simply want an earthy color. It will pair well with a clear iPhone case.

Who Should Buy the Red iPhone 12?

The Product(RED) iPhone 12 is one of the boldest color options.

It supports a good cause (every iPhone 12 (PRODUCT)RED purchase contributes directly to the Global Fund to combat COVID‑19) and it’s going to stand out more than the others.

Who Should Buy the Purple iPhone 12?

In a bit of a surprise, Apple’s announced a brand new color for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini.

The new purple finish is a standout thanks to its bright hue. Purple is certainly going to attract attention so if that’s what you’re going for, this color is a solid option.

Who Should Buy the Graphite iPhone 12 Pro?

The graphite iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max is a classic option and it’s geared toward folks who want something unassuming.

It’s a solid choice for those who love dark colored iPhones. This is the closest the iPhone 12 gets to black.

Who Should Buy the Silver iPhone 12 Pro?

The silver iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max is a traditional option. It’s essentially white with metallic hints.

Silver goes with just about any case so it’s perfect if you want a versatile color to pair with different cases.

Who Should Buy the Gold iPhone 12 Pro?

The iPhone 12 Pro’s gold finish is a bit lighter than Apple’s usual offering. It’s pretty flashy and it’s aimed at people who want a color that pops.

If you’re looking for rose gold, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

Who Should Buy the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro?

Pacific blue is a new color and it’s much darker than the blue shade found on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini.

It’s a fairly neutral option which makes it perfect for those who want something aa little more stylish than graphite.
