Both at this event in March and last year, Apple added a new “seasonal” color to generation models. Last year it was the case of the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 that came exclusively in a new color, as we showed you in the gallery of images that we offered you of the purple iPhone 12 mini. Without a doubt, a kind of “special edition” for those who are still thinking about it, almost at the intermediate point between the presentation of September of the previous year, and almost that of the current year.
This year the company has not been less and has extended a new special color, but to the entire range: The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have a new green color and the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have two new color models that the brand calls “alpine green”.
They are slightly different tones between both ranges of the family, as you will see in the slightly darker images in the case of the iPhone 13 – also counting that these models have a light-reflecting finish on their back. In the case of its older brothers, the iPhone 13 Pro, the appearance being more matte dilutes the alpine green color a bit and softens it in view – giving a certain more elegant touch. The edges with this new color continue the rear color very well, enhancing the sensation of the body in a single color, perhaps in the Pro this contrast marks the angles a little more but it is still spectacular.
Apple and the use of color as part of the design
In the latest products we are seeing how Apple gives more prominence to colors providing it with one more element of the design that gives it more personality and reinforces the appearance: this is important especially in models such as the iPad Air (2022), which have the same appearance as the previous year but with a blue finish that highlights the generation . As I mentioned in the article, it looks great on the desktop now that we can use it with Universal Control next to our Mac.
The new color just launched in the current generation inherits a lot of presence from those iPhone 11 that we discovered in September 2019, which incorporated the night green color for the first time thanks to the collaboration with the company Seiko Advance. It was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful colors in recent years (in my opinion) and this tonality – are its nuances – It looks great on the iPhone 13as you can see in the images.
