The iPhone 11 is available in 6 colors, including purple for the first time ever - here's how to decide

Go for the white iPhone 11 if you know that you want a classic, easy look that will go with anything. White might show scuffs more easily than a darker color, so white says that you're committed to keeping your phone looking brand new.

White is understated, and has a more grown-up feel than some of the brighter pastel colors. This choice communicates "I am an adult, and I'm capable of taking reasonably good care of my phone."

A serious, basic phone isn't a bad thing. Apple has offered a black option of every iPhone its made so far, so they're clearly popular. It's the classic choice, and relatively easy to hide any marks or scratches, and you probably won't of your color choice after a few months.

Plus, you always have the option to get a colorful case if you're feeling fun. This is your most versatile option.

The green iPhone 11 is a cute option, much lighter than the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max's Midnight Green.

This pastel color will show scuffs easily, so you'll probably want a case, or you'll need to be extra careful. This minty color says that you'll do just about anything for the aesthetic, and your Instagram theme is probably cultivated like it's your job.

Green draws your attention, but this shade is light enough to go under the radar, too.

While the other bright colors are more pastel-hued, the Product Red phone is a brighter scene-stealer. This color says you're confident, and you don't mind standing out. The red isn't neon, but it is bold.

As part of Apple's partnership with (RED), part of the proceeds from this phone go toward treating HIV/AIDS. This is the phone for people who want to give a little back to a good cause.

Apple's new purple option is more of a lavender, completing the trio of pastel options on the iPhone 11.

This cute, light purple says that you don't mind all eyes on you, but you're a little more whimsical than the Product Red buyer. Watch out for scuffs on this light, unforgiving color. Choosing purple says that you're in it for form over function, and there's nothing wrong with that.
