My impressions of the yellow iPhone 14. But there was some talk

When I first saw the purple iPhone 14 Pro, it seemed too dark. Immediately began to wait for the new spring shadeas it was with the chic Alpine iPhone 13 Pro.

But this year, Apple only showed the base iPhone 14 in yellow.

What they gave, that’s what they deal with. I got ready and flew to the Apple Store to assess whether it is worth running after the new yellow iPhone 14 and worrying that there were no such colors at the start.

It seems like another spring update, but there are a lot of conclusions. But first, let’s see how it still looks live, and not on renders. Moreover, soon these iPhones appear in Russiawith loss of warranty.

A drop of green everything changes

It looks like the yellow will be very different from the range that Apple made for the 14 series.

I was wrong: it looked organic, but it stands out red, as it was from the very beginning. All other tones are muted, and the new color is more neutral than in the same iPhone XR.

Until recently, I hoped to see something juicy, stunning, since only the base model was won.

But no, from an interesting choice only, although this year the smartphone clearly has more color character than the base iPhone 11, the most “gray” iPhone in history.

The color looks not quite yellow in all the density of this understanding. I’ll call it “unripe banana“. Therefore, it is, in a shade quite a bit of greenish.

Exactly the same feeling was from the yellow iPad (10th generation). Its body is the exact same color as the iPhone 14 with a light green undertone.

All the difference between the appearance of the iPad 10 and iPhone 14 rests on the glass back of the smartphone. It can be made in any color and saturation, so a faded hue is Apple’s preference.

If you take it because of the color, then wear it without a case. Then the metal is visible from the front

The new color hides fingerprints well. Black continues to collect them the most, the rest of the mind hides them especially from each other and does not pay attention.

The company itself does not hide anything. A direct comparison of yellow iPhones of different generations on the official website shows that the iPhone 14, although not as pastel as the iPhone 11 was, is also far from the dazzling iPhone XR. It also shows that this yellow is greener.

Presumably why they didn’t add color to the flagship proshkameasy: the company has repeatedly stated that the coloring of their smallest traces of traces in order to achieve a new trace.

It was possible to paint the “proshku” as well. Golden color is absolutely far from yellow

For the green color of the iPhone 11 Pro, a new special non-toxic paint was needed, for the blue, the iPone 13 Pro developed a special method for applying a multi-layer coating with a thickness of several nanometers.

People think that it was worth releasing the yellow iPhone 14 Pro. It is logical that there is already a gold one, but in reality there are two absolutely different finishes and shades. For the second year, Apple is making the back of a gold color with a dusty gradient, and the steel sparkles beautifully with gold.

I’m sure a pure yellow iPhone 14 Pro would be a hit, diluting the dark tone of the entire line. But, apparently, in addition to the complexities of production, the company needs silence before the release of the titanium iPhone 15 Pro. So fans of the new color have another choice. Not less than bright.

But up close it is dazzling yellow

Along with the iPhone came the spring collection of accessories: cases and straps for Apple Watch. Both that, and another, make up the color scheme “dawn in the meadow”: canary yellow, foggy sunny, woody olive, lilac iris And sky blue.

So the yellow here is exactly the same shade as on the smartphone. But due to silicone, it looks more saturated and catchy. The way he suddenly looked at the black iPhone was surprising.

Unique, original cases have become no thinner. If you were embarrassed in advance by the dimensions, do not expect anything new.

And so I put on a case – and here’s a new stylish iPhone for you. To reduce the consequences, you can also add new yellow wallpapers, they still make 80% of all impressions, because we are looking at the screen.

Bought an iPhone 14 in a different color, but want this one? Will release again in a couple of years.

Although not saturated, the new color is playful and fresh. He will find his fans in Russia too.

The people Apple bought this model for didn’t run away at the start of the iPhone 14, but they might as well look at it now.

As for me, this is one of the most unusual natural areas that the company launched in the spring.

But in general, such an update of what was done in order to remain in the information field and add the prefix “new” to the six-month-old iPhone.

Together, the palette looks organic as always.

Now this was especially important for the base line, because in fact this is a smartphone that, with the same processor, detection, design and camera set, is reproduced a year and a half ago, because, if possible, it almost completely repeats the iPhone 13.

Of course, if you Very lover of yellow color and updates the smartphone every 5 years, then this is the best moment.

But if you have already taken some other one, it is not necessary to grab your head. When you offer your time for evaluating a smartphone, yellow is very likely to return to the base line.

However, the ad doesn’t lie. He’s really bright

I guessed that exactly this one will appear this spring, because now the Apple release palette is simple and predictable: the base iPhone comes in five colors, three of which are always black, white And redwill probably be the last one, the sixth, because apparently the marketing department is very knowledgeable about law of six jams. I wrote a separate post about this.

These three boosted colors always lie on the base palette: violet, blue, green, yellow And pink in varying degrees of gradation, saturation, and sometimes with a barely noticeable admixture of another color.

The iPhone 5C and other base devices from the iPhone 11 were used. Only the iPhone XR was unusual.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about a missed opportunity. You, in contrast to the owners of “firmware”, at least every year a wide selection is distributed.

But lovers of expensive flagships will probably again have to wait for a new flowering in the year.
