I don't know how widespread this is but in my little circle the orange Pro was the biggest draw, it's the first in the Pro line (or at least as far as I can remember) with real color to it. Most of them are grayscale or very muted colors. It's another "feel" thing but got more attention than the Air's thin body.

Ever since Apple dropped out of Product (RED), we haven't had a lot of bold colour choices. They feel steadily more muted (including the set of non-Pro colours this time around)

Agreed. I’m going to be very sad when I have to replace my red Apple Watch.

The people that I know laughed heartily at the orange.

I am one of those buying orange. Never went for colors, always deep blue or grey, but both my son and I went for orange. And not even politically connected. Just liked the color.

Go for it! I had a bright red case for my phone for some time. Looked great, a nice little splash of color, also worked well with the company I was working for at that time (brand color was red, too).

I've changed phones since then and at some time found red "too much", so I went with a black case because I thought I needed to look more serious. Should revisit that thought, especially when talking about phone cases... :-D

What would it have to do with politics?

It's about the Hacker News party, it's orange on voting results maps.

Some people live in Northern Ireland

Several more live in India. I guess the political significance of the color is less strong than in Norn Ireland but it seems Modi's BJP is orange.
