On Wednesday, Apple announced the second-generation iPhone SE, originally released in 2016. The new iPhone SE will start at $400, using the same processor power as the iPhone 11, but at a lower price point.

With several different iPhones available, there are many factors to consider before buying one. Color isn't the most important, but it's certainly something to think about for your most-worn accessory. If you're looking for a bright, almost neon phone, the iPhone XR might be for you, while the iPhone 11 comes in lighter, pastel shades. Or, of course, there are neutral options of each.

These are all the colors you can buy an iPhone in right now ranked.
