Orange iPhone bliss

OK, so I’m 60. Shocking, I know. That does not in any way affect the joy I feel when just looking at my new orange, 17 Pro Max. The fact that my phone now is the colour of Luke Skywalker’s flight suit and the detailing on BB-8 is simply delightful :smile:

I do hope Apple takes note and keeps on producing Pro phones in cool colours going forward. I have not felt this way about a new iPhone in like forever. Call me silly, this is not a rational feeling, but a very good one none the less.

I don’t think it is silly at all. Young people like you can be emotional about a lot of things. :wink:

I also thoroughly enjoy my orange Pro Max ! I even have the complications on my Ultra in orange to match. :grinning:

I’ve always had, and continue to have, a strong almost visceral aversion to orange. Unless it’s a pumpkin on Halloween, I don’t want orange anywhere in my environment… totally irrational.

I definitely wouldn’t have survived the 70s. :laughing:

But it’s a good thing people have more colour options that bring them joy.

In that case, I would advise against visiting Knoxville Tennessee :grinning:

Not unless you hankered after some harvest gold or avocado green kitchen appliances, which might have taken the sting out of all that burnt orange in the wallpaper.

In a fit of Late Boomer solidarity, I’m holding out for Prince Purple. Feh to all that Gen-X Star Wars nostalgia.

Very much how I feel about my black Air. Haven’t held a phone that felt this good in the hand since my jet black iPhone 7.

1975 called and it wants its groovy orange device back. Seriously, this looks even more like the 1970’s wallpaper color palette I remember …

I’d flaunt that beauty every chance I got.

Not exactly my boy-room wallpaper, but it was a funky pattern in orange and brown, with the promo poster for Weather Report’s “Heavy Weather” album hung over it… :smile:

Speaking of orange and brown. Watching a documentary this evening and there he was, Brown in orange (1981).
