Apple announced a new green color for its iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro and a new purple color for its iPad Air at its "Peek Performance" event on March 8, 2022.

In an earthy product video, Apple unveiled its two green finishes: a bold green iPhone 13 and a sophisticated alpine green for the iPhone 13 Pro. The shades are nearly identical, but there are some subtle differences.

The question is: Do you want to feel bold or sophisticated?

Apple also announced a slate of fresh shades for its shiny new iPad Air, which include space gray, starlight, pink, purple, and a "stunning" new blue. (We're most excited about the trendy, Gen Z-approved purple.) Now you can match your purple iPad Air to your purple iPhone 12.

UPDATE: Mar. 8, 2022, 3:50 p.m. EST An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the pre-order date. These models are available for pre-order on March 11.
