alt Hacker NewsNow everybody who bought the orange iPhone needs to sell it and buy the burgundy one.
Because the only thing worse than not having an iPhone is having the previous one.
Brilliant strategy from Apple, make the colors stand out, then swap them for other stand out colors.
In the past the shape or camera layout would change and signal the version, but now that stabilized, so you need to use the color to clearly show what model you have.

99% of people put their iPhone in a case that covers up the color. This is not something anybody actually thinks.
Sometimes I tell my teenage daughter “stop inventing things to be mad about”. Good advice for HN commenters, too.
Mine is in a blue case. My last case was black. Only when my cases wear out do I remember that my phone is actually white.
I swear only Apple brings out comments where people will insinuate a whole nefarious conspiracy over phones being sold in different colors.
