Customers won’t be able to get their hands on the new green and Alpine Green iPhone 13 and 13 Pro for another week, but critics have already given their initial impressions of the new hues.
Possibly since Apple did the same thing with the iPhone 12 colour options, the new green iPhone 13 is receiving more cautious responses. Just a “new hue to get it back in the headlines,” MKBHD said when asked about the new release.
After that, the UK’s Daily Mail chose to focus on Samsung’s accusation that Apple had plagiarised its green phone design instead of the new iPhones. The article also notes how many times Samsung has been accused of copying Apple by consumers.
At least so far, the reception to the new iPhones has been unanimously positive. Most experts agree that the new colours look great, with the iPhone 13 seeming darker and the iPhone 13 Pro appearing to be even better.
In addition, every critic mentions how difficult it is to judge the quality of the green from a snapshot. Instead, the green in real life has often astonished critics more than they anticipated.
According to Tom’s Guide in its first hands-on, “[The colours] come out noticeably different considering the material variances between Pro and non-Pro iPhones.” iPhone 13 Pro’s “Alpine Green,” on the other hand, is just plain “green,” although “green” on the iPhone 13 still seems like forest green to the naked eye.
In contrast, Majin Bu, a user on Twitter, remained silent. Unboxed iPhones were shown.
If you’re seeking for a “earthier and closer to a lush green” appearance for the new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini hues, you’ll be disappointed.
In addition to making the colour a touch lighter and adding a metallic shine, the magazine said that “the Pro flagships come with a kind of frosted coating that helps them better reject smudges.”
Furthermore, “The Verge” examined how green has become “this season’s favourite smartphone hue,” in addition to Apple.
“I placed the two green iPhones on the dining room table beside another recent green flagship phone: the Samsung Galaxy S22,” writes the publication’s Allison Johnson. My reaction to the green treatment was a bit unexpected….
However, the iPhone 13 Pro is now the best green phone, followed by the basic iPhone 13, and the Galaxy S22 comes third,” she says.
