  • Apple just announced the iPhone SE, its smallest iPhone available.
  • The SE comes in only three colors, but other recent iPhones come in as many as six colors.
  • There are all the bright, muted, and neutral colors you can buy an iPhone in.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

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.

The gold iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max is eye-catching, but more muted than many brighter iPhones. It's the perfect choice for someone who doesn't want a neon phone, but doesn't want to limit themselves to black or white.
