Apple has brought back pink for its iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, but if you want a pink iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone Pro Max, you’re bang outta luck…

In the ever-evolving world of technology, Apple’s iPhone 13 has made a splash not just with its advanced features but also with its vibrant color palette, notably the entrancing pink variant. This shade isn’t just a mere addition to the lineup; it’s a nod to the resurgence of pink in popular culture and consumer preferences.

The Pink Renaissance: The iPhone 13’s Trendsetting Hue

Recent data from fashion and design industries indicates a renewed interest in pink, often associated with themes of positivity, compassion, and contemporary femininity. This color trend isn’t confined to clothing or interior design; it’s permeating tech gadgets, automobiles, and even branding campaigns. The iPhone 13’s pink iteration is a nod to this cultural shift, and its popularity underscores the color’s widespread appeal.

Historically, Apple has dabbled with pinkish hues in its iPhone lineup. The iPhone 5C, launched in 2013, featured a bright pink variant, while the iPhone 6S in 2015 introduced a subtler “Rose Gold” option. Both these shades were well-received, but they were precursors to the bolder and more definitive pink of the iPhone 13.

The choice to reintroduce pink, especially in a more pronounced shade, is not arbitrary. It aligns with Apple’s knack for tapping into prevailing cultural currents.

No Pink For iPhone 13 Pro Models

There was also plenty of online chatter about a pink iPhone 13 prior to launch. Apple likely didn’t listen to any of this, it seldom does, but when the iPhone 13 was officially launched, Apple confirmed that it would be available in pink, alongside the other iPhone 13 colors: blue, midnight, starlight, and Product Red.

But there is one issue for anyone that wants a pink iPhone 13. You’re limited to the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Mini. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max ARE NOT available in pink; instead, Apple retails its Pro models in the following colors: graphite, gold, silver, and Sierra Blue.

iPhone 13 Pro Colors

When Apple introduced the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, it added some new colors, with the latest being Alpine Green –that color was launched during Apple’s March 2022 event, where it unveiled the new Mac Studio desktop computer.

With the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, you have several colors to choose from, as you can see below:

Why no pink iPhone 13 Pro? I honestly have no idea. Apple usually runs two color schemes for its standard and Pro model iPhones. It has done this for years now, so it is no surprise that the Pro models are available in different colors from the standard iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini.

Usually the standard –cheaper models –are more colorful because they’re, well, cheaper and not used by people that Apple views as “pros” –the 13 and the 13 mini are the “peoples’ phone” while the Pro and Pro Max are designed for more discerning, professional types.

Thinking about picking up an iPhone 13? Can’t decide between the Pro, Pro Max, or the iPhone 13? Here’s a quick breakdown of how they’re different and all the changes Apple brought to the iPhone 13 line-up.
