OK, just picked up the new iPhone Pro, and while I am very impressed with a lot of the functions, overall, it is pretty ugly.
First of all, the desert titanium, is an insanely great color. It is almost like a mat titanium desert tan bronze. I think actually, Apple would have done a better job if they just called it match bronze. The funny hilarity in American society is bronze is seen as inferior.  for example, everyone wants the gold, nobody wants the silver, and certainly nobody wants the bronze.
However, if we think the ancient Greeks, Elliot etc., bronze was heroic and Godlike. Bronze was actually at the Apex of things.
And actually, when I think and consider what the best color for rims are on your car, it is bronze, like a shiny bronze. That is how all of the heroic Greek warrior and helmets are described, Hector with the flashing helmet etc.
