I don’t know if they’ll ever do that. Colors add another dimension, so you either need to have more stock on hand or do more custom models. Right now, the profit margins on all upgrades is huge.

Phones have less configurability, they sell more, and colors seem more important.

True, but c'mon, not even one single other colour!? It's weird to only have more options on the cheaper computers, and by spending more you get less visual personalization. So dull.

I've never owned an iPhone, but if I did, it would be a sweet luxury to be able to colour match the phone to the mac. Orange on orange, orange on purple, purple on green. iPads can do it and they're practically useless e-waste

It’s funny they immediately launched a laptop with color options right after I left that comment, or at least I hadn’t seen it yet.

But, I don’t feel totally corrected since that laptop only has one binary choice besides color. It’s 256GB w/o Touch ID or 512GB w/ Touch ID.
