IPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini colors
Both iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are available in the choice of Product Red, Starlight, Midnight, Blue, or Pink. The only one that the iPhone 12 has been offered in is Product Red, although some of the other nuances are still similar to what you might get the iPhone 12 in.
iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 mini in product red
This red hue returns from the iPhone 12 lineup, although it appears to be slightly darker here. Either way, it’s a bold color that’s sure to stand out from the crowd. In fact, it’s arguably the most showy of all the iPhone 13 shades.
iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 mini in Starlight
Apple calls this color Starlight, but that seems like a fancy way of saying white or off-white. It’s similar to the white iPhone 12 (which didn’t get a fancy name) and it’s one of the more ordinary colors available for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Having said that, it looks classy.
iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 mini at midnight
This is another case where Apple gives a fancy name to a regular color, as the Midnight hue is basically black, which is also a color you can get the iPhone 12 in.
It’s a stylish and understated shade for anyone who doesn’t want their phone to be brighter than the sun.
iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 mini in blue
There is no confusion about what this color is – it is blue. That said, blue is a slightly unusual choice for a phone, so it will stand out a bit more than the Starlight or Midnight shades above.
It’s a fairly subdued blue shade – it’s neither bright nor shiny, so it should always look classy, just a little different from the norm. The iPhone 12 is also available in blue, but in a slightly darker shade than what you’ll find here.
iPhone 13 / iPhone 13 mini in pink
Finally, for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, we have pink, and it’s a pretty pale pink, so fans of hot pink will have to look elsewhere. It’s the only shade that doesn’t have a similar color in the iPhone 12 lineup, so if you want something different from last year’s offerings, this is the one for you.
IPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max colors
The Pro models in the iPhone 13 line come in a slightly smaller color selection, with buyers having a choice of Graphite, Gold, Silver, or Sierra Blue. Below we will introduce you to these four shades.
iPhone 13 Pro / iPhone 13 Pro Max in Graphite
Graphite is a subdued grayish shade, and it’s the one we’ve already seen offered for the iPhone 12 Pro line. It’s not the most exciting option, but if you want something dark but not black (a shade that’s not available for the iPhone 13 Pro anyway) then this is a good one. choice.
iPhone 13 Pro / iPhone 13 Pro Max in Gold
The gold model of the iPhone 13 Pro takes a very different approach, as it is possibly the brightest and most showy of all the shades of the iPhone 13 Pro.
It’s a bit bling, but Apple went for a pretty classy shade of gold, so it doesn’t look crass. The iPhone 12 Pro was also available in this shade.
iPhone 13 Pro / iPhone 13 Pro Max in Silver
Here’s another color that was also available for the iPhone 12 Pro – it doesn’t need too much of an introduction, as silver is almost as common on phones as black and white. It’s bright yet subtle, doing a good job of striking a balance between Graphite and Gold shades in terms of sheen.
iPhone 13 Pro / iPhone 13 Pro Max in Sierra Blue
This year’s new Pro shade is Sierra Blue, which replaces Pacific Blue from the iPhone 12 Pro line. So it’s still blue, but this time it’s slightly lighter and doesn’t have the greenish tint of the old version.
It also looks lighter than the standard iPhone 13’s blue, but it’s not shiny at all, so that wouldn’t look out of place in a boardroom.
