Your Color – Your Choice

Today, I want to talk about the color of the phone you choose. iPhones usually come in a wide range of colors, with each series offering its own palette. Personally, I love the color palettes that iPhones offer. But what does the color of your phone mean to you?

What phone color captivates you?

When it’s time to choose a phone, beyond technical specs, we also consider how it looks. I mean the design, shape, and, of course, the color. When I purchase a phone, I balance technical specifications with its design and color. If we look back at the history of phones, the iPhone 2 was just silver, leaving no room for choice. By the time the iPhone 4 was released, it came in two colors: black and white. I picked black, but I was equally amazed by the elegance of the white model when I saw it.

Over the years, I mostly chose black for my phones, but with the iPhone 12, I went with Ocean Blue. My favorite color has always been light blue, so I’m naturally drawn to phones in shades of blue.

Does having a phone in your favorite color change how you feel about it?

I didn’t expect the color to influence how I felt about my phone, but when I got Ocean Blue, I was delighted as always—and even more thrilled with its appearance. Amid the rush of daily tasks, I sometimes glance at my phone and admire its color. It’s a little moment that makes me pause and appreciate life.

For context, I use a sleeve-style phone case. While working, I take the phone out and place it on the sleeve, so I don’t use a full-time protective case. This allows me to fully enjoy the phone’s color. In a way, my phone has become a reflection of me, a true part of my personality.

When choosing a phone color, I’ll always start by looking at shades of blue. What’s your favorite color, and have you ever owned a phone in that color? More importantly, did it change how you feel about your phone?

Is it worth paying extra for a phone’s appearance?

From a pragmatic perspective, no—it’s not worth paying extra just for how a phone looks. If it works and fulfills its basic function, that’s enough. I respect this opinion too. If all you need is a phone that works, then why worry about design, color, or other extras?

I wasn’t always ready to pay extra for color, model, or brand either. But I once heard an interesting thought: your phone is with you 60% of the day. While you’re not actively using it all the time, it’s still always nearby. So, if you use something so often, shouldn’t it bring you joy?

I don’t buy phones every day. A phone purchase is something that stays with me for years, at least a year if I feel like upgrading sooner. So, I decided it’s worth paying more for a phone that brings me excitement, satisfaction, and comfort. Of course, I still balance this with the technical specs!

Why do I use an iPhone?

Using an iPhone is simple for me. Here are the 5 main reasons why:

1. Reliability – In my experience, iPhones don’t lag or glitch.
2. Trendsetting – Every model stays relevant for years with ongoing updates and new features.
3. Simplicity and Genius – The interface is so intuitive and straightforward that I never have trouble navigating it.
4. Security – iPhones are among the most secure devices against interference.
5. Individuality – The color options are some of the most extensive on the market.
