The surprise of the last keynote was not the long-awaited AirTags or the new iMac which logically gets rid of Intel, but the purple iPhone 12. Apple doesn't consistently introduce a new iPhone color along the way, and when it does, it's usually red.

After a short pre-order period, the purple iPhone 12 is now available, at the same price as the other colors of course. This color is available for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. The iPhone 12 Pro, which has a different matte finish, is not eligible.

So how is this purple? If we initially wrote that it was a purple iPhone, it is because the color is more saturated than the mauve of the really very pale iPhone 11. There, the color is a little more assertive. When the very light purple of the iPhone 11 could almost be forgotten, you have to be more of a purple lover to appreciate the new color of the iPhone 12.

From the front, as with the other colors, the mauve is discreet, you just see a colored border around the screen – or nothing at all if you have a shell that wraps around the edges of the phone.

But if the official name of the color is mauve and not purple, it is because it is a pale purple. In daylight, it can sometimes be taken for a pale blue or gray – but not as much as the purple iPhone 11 in the same conditions, even lighter.

Ultimately, this purple iPhone 12 should satisfy all purple lovers who found the purple iPhone 11 far too pale. As for those who don't have purple in their hearts…this iPhone isn't for them.

The new purple shells

If you're a fan of the mix of red and blue but bought an iPhone 12 in a different color, all is not lost. Apple is now shipping an amethyst silicone case ($55) and a deep purple leather case ($65) for all iPhone 12 models—both are MagSafe compatible.

The amethyst silicone case corresponds most closely to the representation that we commonly have of purple. It's good real purple for those who like it.

As for the deep purple leather shell, it is difficult to distinguish the purple so much it looks like navy blue.

Soon, a test for each color :-)

Without making a poor cliché, I think it's more aimed at a female clientele. I had noticed it in the sales of the 11 mauve.

@Soner

No you think? 🤣

@Soner

I think it's more for a clientele who likes purple 🤔

@geooooooooffrey

There is a real market with the LGBT population and otherwise we also underestimate the market for power rangers fans without forgetting all Barney fans across the Atlantic 😂

Where you're stupid, where you have a shitty sense of humor. I hesitate. Maybe both?

You're right. Besides, prince was a woman and I'm the same, I have half my purple wardrobe. Pink for girls, blue for boys.

I am a man and I really like this purple. If I had wanted to buy an iPhone 12 today I would probably have chosen this color.

In real life the color of the phone plays a lot for the purchase of a phone

It's shameful not to put your dog / cat (child also works) or your girlfriend 🤨

julnaref|

@anonx

No dog, no cat, no children, no girlfriend. At the limit I want to make the effort to put my favorite bottle of scotch. AT THE LIMIT.

All these colors are so beautiful! We have used it twice in three years. The day we unpack it from its box, And the day we remove its shell to resell it...

@SonerI'm a straight 50-something man and I loo-do this mauve. If I wanted to buy an iPhone 12 today I would choose it without hesitation in mauve, a color that reminds me of irises (the flowers, not the eye…) and lilacs and their subtle scent. And thank you for the article!
