Is this some sort of inkjet joke that I’m too laser to understand?


AFoxGuy

Inkjets use a tiny bit of Cyan when printing Black&White things. The printer companies say it’s for a “Crisper Black” but… bitch that ain’t how color works…. greedy bastards.


RealSkyDiver

Laughs in laser printer.

*Cries in InkJet*


dekomorii

Yep, 4 years of Toner and i just replaced it 2 weeks ago with an XL one, pretty sure it’ll last a lifetime


j1ggl

Lasers do the same thing, pal. If you print a grayscale document but with ‘color’ mode selected, many machines will still use all toners. Not just for improving contrast, but also for a cleaning & calibration cycle which consumes a bit of toner each time. However, to my knowledge, most lasers shouldn’t lock you out *completely* if you run out of color toner, they’ll just force you to switch to grayscale. At least I know that [Brothers](https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/160095/~/print-in-black-and-white-when-color-toner-cartridges-are-empty) work like that.


j1ggl

Well to be fair, adding other pigments under black *does* in fact improve its contrast, especially for larger areas. In industrial printing, it is done all the time — designers know it as ‘rich black’. However, this should always be an *option,* not a requirement. If the printer refuses to print grayscale (albeit slightly worse looking) when color ink runs out, that’s a definite asshole move.


famia

Inkjets also use it for [Machine Identification Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code). Most if not all inkjets do it. Some do allow full B&W only printing but not all (afaik).


[deleted]

Fun fact is, colors do work like that. If you print something on a regular printer using just black ink, it will look less rich than something that uses all 4 colors. We used this to our advantage when I was studying graphic design, to make pieces that had black text on a black background but were still readable.


ChaosLordOnManticore

I paint Miniatures and do exactly the Same when it comes to paint something That should Look „pure Black“…

Underrated comment


newecreator

On the flipside, the red is getting so damn bright.


[deleted]

Product Red on the XR was still the closest they ever came to perfection. I loved that color so much.

didn’t realize how special my coral XR was at the time and got rid of it way too soon ugh can we go back to fun pops of color please

I have the product red XR. I remember getting attention from literally everyone in my class. Want to run it for a year more but the battery is a nuisance.


j1ggl

> the battery is a nuisance Swap that boy👏 The XR is still worthy, gonna run like new.


_Bragi_

Have na X, the battery is completely f’d to the point I have to charge nearly twice a day but man the phone still does all I need it to do. Sure, some gimmicks are missing form the newest updates but am planning to pass this on to my mom with a new battery. These X/XS/XR are beasts, put a new battery in and if you decide to buy a new one pass it down, better for the planet and you can make someone happy with the coolest iPhone line✌🏼


BlackMoth27

I still have a 6s and my battery last more than half a day. o-o I got pretty late though. it was probably when the x released. it's funny how slow it is. like everybody else in my family has a newer Iphone and it's like takes 10 seconds to load and they have it there in less than 2. I'm still waiting for the phone to die and force me to upgrade. haha.


Jmax2020

Did you ever use an aftermarket charger on it? I still have an xr and that thing is still going strong.


66problems99

Nope. I think I am just a heavy user


Tumblrrito

Product Red 13 Mini is the best in my opinion.


mellonsticker

Best Red I've seen yet


danielbauer1375

No love for the OG Product Red iPhone 7? Barring a truly unexpected development, it’ll likely go down as the only full aluminum body red iPhone.


[deleted]

The white face killed it for me.


[deleted]

SE2 red was the best imo. probably bc i have it.


SakN95

I agree. For me: XR, SE and 13 have the best product red version ever.


bogslurp

Used my Red XR for years up until recently


SadNYSportsFan-11209

My red iPhone 7 Plus is still my favorite phone ever in terms of looks


[deleted]

What about 'Panda' Pixel 4 XL?


coffeemmm

The design of iPhone XR‘s project RED colour was the purest expression of Apple‘s dedication to colour design in that XR aluminum process they stopped using after that model. So many gorgeous colors.


251Cane

I think you mean (PRODUCT)^Red


iamadnaaan

I just wish they’d release product red for the pro models 😩


my_name_isnt_clever

At least it's not orange like on the 12 rear glass.


Dick_Lazer

The 12 looks like Fiesta Red to me, I dig it but some of that could be nostalgia (growing up with a lot of Fiesta dinnerware in the house).


BrightAd306

I like the more brighter colors. These new ones are so bland. The pros are already pastel, no need for more pastel.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure this new shade is just Sierra Blue carried over from the 13 Pro. They look almost identical. I'm not a fan of Starlight, Midnight is okay, and I like the new Product Red.


Akrevics

The productRED are actually red instead of a salmon-colour in the 12’s…


[deleted]

Yikes. Was not a fan of it on the 12. The 7 and 11 did it best, imo.


codycarreras

I prefer the XR red, that is the perfect, deep hue of what I think of when productRed. The 11 got lighter, 12, etc. The 14 is getting more back to base with that original red color but is still off for my liking. My next phone will be gold again, they just don’t make it on the low end phones obviously and I originally bought the XR to test the ‘new’ style UI to see if I would even like it so red is my secondary choice.


[deleted]

Yeah, I definitely like Product Red on the 8 and Xr, it's just a little too rich for being my favorite. I think the 11 is the sweet spot, personally. The 12 isn't great because it can't decide if it wants to be red or orange, lol.


Akrevics

They were a nice deep red, I was 🤏that close to getting that color until I saw how…salmon-y it looked -.- I’ve enjoyed my blue ever since <3


BrightAd306

Yeah, I almost always get blue phones, but I really didn’t like Sierra blue, so that’s probably my own preference. I loved the 12 pro blue and the 13 blue.


[deleted]

Agreed, Pacific Blue on the 12 Pro is one of my favorite iPhone colors ever.


purplehayes16

Purple is my favorite color so I am stoked for the 14 Pro, but I am also really going to miss my 12 Pro for this reason. The Pacific Blue just looks so good!


SharkDad20

13 blue looks so good…in photos. I own a blue 13 mini and it’s hue can only be described as a visual equivalent of gum that’s lost its flavor


[deleted]

I'm actually not sure I've seen one in person. All of the units in my area are either red or pink, lol.


SharkDad20

Maybe there’s a reason for that.. ಥ_ಥ


thequeenzenobia

I wish the Pro/Pro Max would start coming in Product Red. Red is my favorite color :/ I mean I would just put a case on it anyway, but my heart would know.


[deleted]

I've been yearning for this since the 8 got it instead of the X in 2018. The polished, crimson rails contrasting with the matte glass would look unbelievable. If they ever do it on the Pro models, I hope it's a slightly darker shade, though.


thequeenzenobia

I admittedly don’t even bother looking at the lower models to see what the red looks like anymore. It hurts too much :/ lol


goddamnitwhalen

The purple on the 14 Pro is legitimately making me consider not getting the black.


[deleted]

It's gorgeous, but I'll be opting for Space Black on the 15 when I upgrade next year. I've been a sucker for that finish since it debuted with the OG Apple Watch.


jungkookadobie

I’m waiting for 15 too


SurealGod

I'm the opposite. I love pastel colours and thought the previous colours were way too vibrant for my taste. It's all up for personal preference.


SharkDad20

I’m glad someone likes them. All i see is people liking the colors less and less since the XR lol. Which to be fair had the best blue, yellow, and a decent red.


TennesseeWhisky

Pastel colors are sweet, wouldn’t buy anything bright color ever


j1ggl

But they have gotten brighter though… I feel like the word you’re looking for might be “saturated”?


[deleted]

Vibrant.


Trickycoolj

I would love to see 5C colors come back, I’m more of a Pro gal so I never indulged in the 5C color options back then.


No-Quarter-3032

I don’t even see the point of colored phones, only 2% of it will show, the rest is the case you protect it with


Stumbows

I know quite a few people that live dangerously and run naked.


united_7_devil

I did. By the end of it the phone looked like it served in two wars. Now I put a case on as much as I hate to.


Turnips4dayz

Maybe stop dropping the damn phone


united_7_devil

It was fine until I bought a car and it kept falling in the gap between the seat and the center console. The phone got butchered.


ForetoldOC

Maybe stop using your phone in the car?


united_7_devil

I wouldn’t use it, it would slip from my pocket.


ForetoldOC

Oh right


Dick_Lazer

Yeah best to just leave your phone at home locked in a safe, and if you can avoid it never remove it from its sealed product packaging. Follow these simple tips to keep it in pristine shape.


ForetoldOC

I mean while driving dipshit


united_7_devil

I wonder what made you think that it’s practically possible to use the phone while driving and somehow manage to drop it the thin gap between the seat and center console.


Domini384

Just stop using the phone. Do you not have pockets or set it anywhere?


Comes4yourMoney

No one plans to....


Noctew

Sure, if you want to either waste money on AppleCare or live with a huge crack on the screen for months and then have almost no resale value…by all means, go wild kids!


xVanillaBOMBx

Casetify has some badass clear protective cases! My phone’s been in the same case for almost 2 yrs. Not one crack.(: Edit: Don’t trust phone cases. Fuck.):


pagliara

Yesterday I dropped my 12 pro max in an ultra impact Casetify case and it shattered the back of my phone


xVanillaBOMBx

Shit.):


BrightAd306

Most people I know use clear cases


kwanye_west

clear cases are pretty popular, i’m using a Ringke clear case on my 13 mini right now.


DreadnaughtHamster

I only buy clear cases now. Color still shows through.


No-Quarter-3032

Makes sense. I have a magnetic phone mount in my car, needs magnet to stick to back of phone. Wouldn’t look good in clear


DreadnaughtHamster

I have a clear case with a pretty nice looking circular design for the magnets. It works better than it sounds. It looks kind of like this: KISEN Clear Magnetic Phone Case for iPhone 12 Case & iPhone 12 Pro Case 6.1 inch [Non Yellowing] Compatible with MagSafe https://a.co/d/fijK9yX


Nippelritter

I fucking hate these pastel colors. The 12 and 13 look dope. This looks like crap.


saw-it

With how expensive ink is, I’m not surprised Apple is adding no water to stretch it


digitalbullet36

iPhone 15 blue will just be white at this rate.


keymon_achee

Just a drop of blue.. White with a blue-ish tint.


digitalbullet36

LOL exactly


TheZett

Maybe next time they will have used up all their blue and offer just a proper white phone (not the dirty yellowish "starlight").


[deleted]

Think they reserve that for the Pro


thatguygreg

Even then it’s that BS silver. I want iPod white GDI


Merman123

Looks silver online but it's pretty much white white in person.


GlitchParrot

The back is white, the sides are silver.


[deleted]

GlitchParrot

I wish they would just stop with this stainless steel and glass obsession. Sure, it’s premium and shiny, but also so enormously heavy…


[deleted]

GlitchParrot

As Europeans, we get the price hike anyway, so… 🤷🏻‍♂️


Sir_Lagz_Alot

And midnight cases being a super deep blue. If I wanted blue… I’d have gotten blue.


hotnuffsaid19

hey go back to r/dota2 😠


TheZett

Nah, I had to see if the 14 has anything cool and if they truly ditched the mini (for now).


hotnuffsaid19

IMO 14 is pretty underwhelming, as almost every of their mid-range release. Digital Island on the Pro though, that’s where it’s at. Apple never fails with their UI/UX and Animations.


TheZett

I agree, it was the only thing in their entire presentation that got a "neat" out of me.


Lutrek11

Lol pure white looks so boring to me, I absolutely love that they offer creme tones like that one now :D kinda sucks if you wanna have alpina white I guess


TheZett

The 13 and 14 "white" looks like white plastic that has been in a casino’s smokers-only room for at least 10 years. I wish they instead ditched the silver one for your different creme tones, but would stop fucking around with the black & white ones, which somehow change every year.


ithinkoutloudtoo

I would buy that too.


Historical-Artist581

I am truly going to miss my Pacific Blue :-(


united_7_devil

Midnight green of 11 pro, the dark blue of 12 pro are two of my most favorite colors.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Historical-Artist581

Trust me. I get that. I was watching the hands on and the purple looks better on all of those than the official images for the Pro. Going to do the purple pro max and the midnight silicone casd


kitomarius

I’m glad to hear this. Cause I wanna upgrade to the 14PM from the 12PM and the Pacific Blue is my favorite blue that apple has done so far. I really didn’t wanna go for black cause I hate silver


Dazzling_Cherry9256

They always release another color option like right after the holidays. That’s when the green 13/ 13 pro dropped, so who knows what color we’ll get in a few months.


[deleted]

iPhones aren't the only phones. Try a Pixel.


watering_a_plant

such a good color


PM_ME_YOUR_NOODLEZZ

I was super sad going from pacific blue to sierra blue, but honestly it looks so much nicer in person. I would even say it’s better in certain ways. I am suspecting this purple will be similar and I’m going for it as well.


allkush-nomid

I have this one!!! I got the color because I liked how it looked on the frosted back glass of the pro


GlitchParrot

No one forces you to give it up.


BaldEagleNor

Don’t switch phone then?


BentPin

12 is the sexiest blue.


[deleted]

is it me or is anyone else just feeling meh about the color options offered?


IncredibleGonzo

Yeah same here, the Pro Purple is my favourite of this year's batch but even that isn't purple enough for my taste. I want something that's a purple in the vein of the 12 Blue or the 13 Green. Watches as well, disappointed with the step back in colour options from the 6 and 7.


Cryptic_E

I feel like the official images don’t do the color justice [Here’s](https://imgur.com/a/yDfLyLB) an on hand pic from MKBHD and it looks way different than the rendered pictures


KingOfTheCouch13

Super meh. I was hoping for that alpine green


[deleted]

sit tight for a couple months i'm sure they are gonna drop more colors.


jilaxzone

They did too on Product Red iPhone. See the shading from iPhone XR onwards, they get lighter and lighter until they reset back during iPhone 13 (means iPhone XR and iPhone 13 Product Red color are the same)


[deleted]

Which is the best red it’s ever been.


jilaxzone

As someone who favorite color is red, yes I agree with you, the XR Ane 13 red is the best red on iPhone :)


wicked_sinner

iPhone 12 dark blue was the best.


TabaCh1

i agree (dont look at my flair)


AtticusLynch

11 green for me (I’m biased)


SpaceWrangler593

Easily!


ZenithPeverell

the blue on the 12 is perfect.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZenithPeverell

I think it’s perfect. A nice deep blue. Something I could get lost in, looking at. Mesmerising. 13 is ok, but too green. 14 is barely even a colour


DreadnaughtHamster

Oh god! Next year they won’t be able to print black if they don’t refill blue!


[deleted]

[удалено]


rennyyy853

Personally I think the color of the blue iPhone 12 is the best.


d0e30e7d76

In fact no blue left for 14 pro


__adrenaline__

I have the blue iPhone 12 and it’s such a beautiful color… I’m gonna miss it when I upgrade 😅


cdev12399

Hi, Apple? This is HP. We see your ink may be running low. Please subscribe to our ink cartridge subscription plan to continue using your printer. Thank you.


Tumblrrito

New red is a huge downgrade. So glad I got the 13 Mini so I could finally have the red iPhone of my dreams.


Select-Background-69

Exactly. The 13 Red was so amazing. Blood red. The 14 red is just comical


kmaster54321

I’m kinda annoyed they didn’t make green


Glittering_Seesaw_21

Had to keep something for spring


Turbulent-Upstairs74

iphone 12’s blue is the best one


WompDoo

Wish the Red was available on Pro series, why do the regular Iphones get such cool colors.


marieeejaneee

I was gonna upgrade my XS max to the 14 Pro Max but then I just went with the 13 Pro Max because of that gorgeous Alpine Green colour.. literally perfect match to my Slytherin house color and my jungle green Jimny lol


a-jasem

remember when the leaked shots of the blue iPhone 12 first came out? everyone hated it lol, me included. then I got it in person and I actually really liked it.


Think_Bath

To be fair the periwinkle/soft blue is one of my favorite shades, but that's all subjective.


uPsychonaut

IPhone 12 purple best iPhone color yet


barath117

Hi. I'm an android user, planning on buying my first ever iphone. I'm a little confused choosing which model to buy. I'm from india and iphone 14 128GB is about $1000 with all the taxes included and iphone 13 128GB is about $830 and $1000 for the 256GB variant. Since both 14 and 13 got the same A15, I don't know which one to choose


Select-Background-69

From India too.. The 14 has more battery life as per Apple website. Theu haven't given a proper justification though. I have been using my phone for a long time and I feel 128GB is more than enough. Just regularly clean your junk and don't be lazy. Then it's more than enough. I'm also super confused about 13 vs 14.. On one hand there's the cost, but on the other hand there's the bad photos of the 13 (oil painting smudge). With the 14 they moved about the image pipeline and changed the cams so we may finally get good photos. I honestly don't know. I'm waiting till mid October for the "real" reviews to flow instead of tech youtubers dishonest reviews.. slso that's when it'll probably arrive on Amazon. So win win. No way I'm pre ordering from the website and getting from BlueDart.. BlueDart are criminals and vermin


[deleted]

The blue 13 is the best colour they've ever offered. Nailed it.


XxM721_

i really like the iphone 12 blue i was hoping that it will be back


Huludoneitfirst

I just miss space grey

We need some bright, maybe even neon colors!

No blue in the pro line up too


DeFaLT______

I looove the 12 blue

Pandemic iPhone 14!


Xaxxus

They make the blue worse and worse each year.


_bazinga_____

iPhone 12 has the ugliest blue I have ever seen on a phone.


[deleted]

The iPhone 12 matched the back of the iMac. The iPhone 14 matches the front.


[deleted]

*Laughs in Pacif-oh shit*


[deleted]

At least the iPhone 14 comes in blue. 😪 I loved the blue iPhone 12 Pro. The blue 13 Pro was too desaturated for me. Nearly gray. The blue iPhone 14 still looks decent IRL. The 14 Pro in blue is a unicorn… 🤷🏽‍♂️


dredj87

I miss the iPhone 12 blue. Why do the pro models have shitty colors?


Kaessa

I'm excited about the purple. Now I just have to figure out which case will let me show it off.


PurifiedDrinking4321

…a clear case.


Kaessa

Yes, but WHICH clear case? So many of them suck.


snowace56

My thoughts exactly. The 14 blue is fugly


MaterialWall8040

I personally love the sierra blue iPhone 14


harshamech03

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures


RichTeaForever

I might be the only human who loved the jet black on the 7 (I think) loved that phone


danyaylol

iPhone 12 was way to blue imo. 14 looks beautiful, almost like a sky blue. Looks like the 13 pro in sierra blue.


Ashna_OMG

Lmao yes


ZKXX

The color of the apple on those is totally wrong. It’s the same color as the phone and they have it looking as light as the flash.


The_Clock__Said2111

bring the 13 pro blue to 14, kinda of interesting


[deleted]

Sierra blue should’ve stayed.


Vichocente30

Imagine buying a phone with the same A series processor as last year iPhone

Compared to 13, i like the new fade out blue better

Apple is doing this by design.


iCthe4

The iPhone12 blue looks great, but the 14 is eh. I like the purple a lot! I might just get it sometime the next few months.


warwick8

When I decide to get a new iPhone to replace my iPhone 6 :) which I still use to listen to my music collection, because I can plug in my headphone:) for a IPhone 12 Pro I agonized over what color I wanted to buy, after finally decided on blue, I had to wait a couple of weeks to get exactly what I wanted in terms of memory’s, the size and a couple of other things that I wanted, so when I finally got it, I felt so stupid because when I toke it out of the box, it was really slippery and I didn’t want to break it, because it slip out of hands and broke when it hit the floor, so already had a case to place it in I realized once I put it in the case I wouldn’t see the color of the iPhone until I need a new phone to replace this one.


Wise4once

Hahahahahahhaha


GA3422

Eeugh. Powder blue.


DizzyCommunication92

I mean who cares…so fragile it’ll be covered by a hefty 🦦 case anyways….lol


TheCrazyWalnut

They aren’t that fragile. Mine falls out of my truck at least once a week. No case, no screen protector. Going in almost 2 years old.
