【Peggy Markoff】

The Peggy Markoffrumors are true: The pink iPhone is back.

At today's Apple Event, a hush fell over the crowd when the iPhone 15 appeared on screen in...pink. But dear readers, it's not the vibrant, Barbie pink some had hoped for. In true Apple fashion, the pink in question is a quiet shade existing somewhere between blush and bubblegum. Apple isn't leaning into Barbiecore or hot pink nostalgia just yet.

Aside from black, the other colors of the iPhone 15 — blue, green, and yellow — are similarly subtle. The colorway is giving Easter with a banana Laffy Taffy yellow, 2012 mint green, and "girl we fucking see them" blue. But at least Apple has let the iPhone 14 Pro's assault on the color purple rest.
