Do people really care that much what colour their phone is? Most people will only ever see their phone colour when it is first bought and when they sell it. The rest of its life it will be hidden by a case.
It reminds me of the scene from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, when, in Earth's pre-history, a committee of hairdressers, telephone sanitisers, salespeople and the like had been formed to develop the wheel. Arthur Dent, the protagonist, loses his patience with them, "Look you have even invented the wheel yet!". One of the committee stands up and protests, "You tell us what colour it is meant to be!".
My iPhones immediately go into a case (Incipio Duo), so the color really doesn’t matter very much, since the case covers it entirely. I think my iPhone 13 Pro is blue.
I had Titanium PowerBooks, so a titanium iPhone would have a bit of Apple nostalgia tied to it.
I would like lighter and better battery life, even if it means throttling the CPU for all but games (which I don’t play), including pesky cpu hogging webpages (smarter throttling for Safari would be awesome). The current specsmanship of X hours of continuous video playback is skewing design choices towards bulkier and heavier phones.
I downsized from ProMax to Pro for lightness but didn’t like the loss of runtime. Sigh!
Like it or not, a case doesn't just add grip when handling your phone, no matter the shape. There's also the matter of having it in a pocket, or a purse, should the purse fall off a table. Or in my case, a jersey pocket when I'm cycling. I use Speck's Presidio Grip Perfect Clear cases. And I usually get the red color.
