Looking good. The Rainbow-Bright era was a bit much.
classy pastels. The only problems is there should always be more neutrals in the mix white, metallic (silver/grey), etc.
the black looks kind of cheap.
Overall these are ok for the mass market tier. Might actually be a purposed choice to saturate the market for people who don’t care so much and choose their favorite payers and cause upsell for those who want their phone to match their Mac, want more “serious” colors, etc.
Hopefully the pro models keep the metal colorways. They should always be a staple offering.
Personal color preferences aside, most people I know with iPhones put them in cases anyway, so the color is practically irrelevant.
So, by that kind if thinking, all phones should be made with black back and sides to go with the black screen? No, color choices are good to have. Some people have clear cases and a very tiny amount of people use pouch cases which is more work but gives protection and let’s you enjoy phone without case while in use. The pouch cases seem to be a well kept secret LOL.
I hear you, but the color of the thing has nothing to do with its functionality. If dewalt started making pink tools I’d still use them because they work well.

Not me. If DeWalt started making their tools pink, I'd switch to Makita or maybe Milwaukee. Let DeWalt have the Barbie market!
I don't care for the "muted" colors Apple has gone with since the introduction of Apple Silicon. The backs of the iMac look amazing, but the fronts and the stand look hideous. These phone colors (if true) are all hideous. Black or white are apparently the only options I'll have if I go with the iPhone model, or the dark Blue if I go with a Pro model
I currently have the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro and love the color.
On a scale of 1-10, the importance of the iPhone color is about a 0.25 to me. When the iPhones had chins and foreheads it was a little more important to me only because the dark phones showed fingerprints more than did the white ones.
Nothing more disturbing to me than seeing a thick coating of greasy fingerprints on someone’s phone, tablet, or keyboard. Anything that can be done to mask the fingerprints is a good thing. If that means more pastel colors, I’m all for it.
On the positive side, if you get one of these phones you can take it out of its case on Easter and put in in the Easter basket alongside the colored eggs. It will fit in with the Easter theme perfectly.
As another poster said, the bold colours from the plastic 5c were really good, loved my shiny yellow one ! Not really warming to these very timid pastels. The imac a while ago had a bunch of much stronger colours on their aluminium casing, so why not these ?
Black and white colors are standard for phones and I always like black color iPhone. But, enough people like lighter colors. The question is how to chose lighter color but do not appear faded color!
At the end phones do end up in cases with personal choice colors so the color on phones are less important. What is inside matters.

It's the best iPhone they've ever made.
Otherwise, black or grey in a case regardless.
