I was originally considering Burgundy, but I have selected a Black 18 Pro Max, to match my all Black MBP and my Black Apple Watch Ultra.

I am going with a glacier 18 Pro. Like the idea of a lighter colour phone and always tend to prefer blue. It’ll replace my current 15 Pro Max in a darker blue. I decided to go with the smaller form factor this time too, time will tell if this is the right decision. I’ve enjoyed the Pro Max but find it a little bulky sometimes.

After seeing a video, either Glacier or Burgundy. That metallic sheen of the light blue looks phenomenal. Shame about the dark blue not continuing... the Burgundy looks AMAZING. Better if I use a case with contrasting beige border instead of black.
I'm still looking forward more to the better vapor chamber, more energy-efficient CPU, the improved camera sensor with main lens having variable aperture (shame the telephoto lacks it so results at >4x will apparently be on par with the 17PM?), and another 500mAh to the battery life. On top of a vastly-improved iOS 27 that, on my 17PM test unit, has shown considerable battery life improvement. Even when sitting idle for a week. And this thing was already leagues above the S25U in battery life.

Was going to get burgundy but changed my mind at the last minute and went to glacier. Was worried burgundy would show damage. I tend to keep my phones a long time these days. My current iPhone is a 13 Pro, and I’m not sure burgundy would hold up that well over a long time.

I usually get black, white or silver. I also wanted the (product) red but never got one so this year it will be burgundy paired with the new Apple 18 pro clear case.
Have you used the Apple clear case before ? Have a look at the reviews from last years. A lot of negative remarks about yellowing and not protecting the phone.

I was happy when I saw that the black was back, but ended up getting silver.

Went Glacier after orange last year. Like it a lot in the hands on videos
It’s odd if you own a phone long enough time you stop noticing what colour it is. I often don’t even register the colour of my 13 Pro these days.

I went Glacier. I was a little wary from Apple's photos because it looked a little pale, but the hands on videos and photos I've seen over the last couple of days show that it is a little bolder in real life and different lighting. I originally was going Burgundy, but in some lighting, it was just too purple for my personal taste.

Burgundy in autumn, Black in winter, Glacier in spring, Silver in summer.
I originally had a black 18PM reserved for the presale and then last night did an about face and went with a silver pro. I am not sure I will adjust to the smaller screen, but I am not sure I could deal with a much heavier phone after having the 17pm.

I had a PM every year since the 13PM until the 17 when I downsized to the Pro. Don’t regret it. Much easier to use with one hand and much lighter. Went Pro again this year. With the improvements to battery life the last two years, it closed the gap for me.

I'm undecided! I ordered silver even though I have a silver 17PM. lol. I want burgundy, but don't like that it looks brown sometimes. I thought about black, but idk. The silver still grabs my attention the most from the videos that I've seen.
