iPhone 15 Pro Max Color regret

Blue and Natural Ti are dead even for me. I don’t like the white or the black. I don’t use a case. I had the blue, and I loved how the blue looked like a dark slab (more black than the black in certain light). However, after seeing the scuffed blue phones, I returned it for Nat Ti, and I like this a lot. Hopefully, this won’t scuff as much.
 
I went to the Apple Store on Saturday. I traded in my 14 Pro Max (purple) for the titanium black iPhone 15 Pro Max. I wanted black this time as that was my first choice last year, but I settled for the purple iPhone instead. I was eyeing the natural titanium for a second, but I wanted something more simple this time. No regrets, so far.

I think the Blue looks great. It’s everything I wanted, stealth with a hint of colour. No problems with the “halo effect” around the buttons unless in direct sunlight and are actively looking for it, then there are slight rings.

Scuff wise, treat your phone well. It’s an expensive device and deserves some care.

Welp, returning the black for natural. Now no more regrets lol. For a phone I’m keeping for at least 4 years, this was 100% the right move.

Natural has become one of my favorite iPhone colors of all time. Has a classic timeless look, like the aluminum macbooks. Very reminiscent of the iPhone 4 as well with the sides.

The problem with Apple’s black is they’re never a true black or black enough.

I prefer the lighter space grays over the black actually, apparently the opposite opinion of this sub. My favorite was the 5S space gray, which is much lighter than a lot of people like.
 
I'm torn!! I plan on getting my 15 Pro today in store, and for the first time, I'm really unsure about the color. I usually pick up the exclusive / new color.

I currently have a Purple 14 Pro, before that I had 13 Pro in Green, and I had the 12 Pro in Pacific Blue. I liked all the colors and it was an easy decision.

I was all set on the Natural until I saw it in stores, and I was left...underwhelmed, so I planed on getting white, but now I'm not so sure again after looking at various photos. (The Blue is cool, but I have deep purple now, so leaning towards a lighter color this year)

I ca't decide, so it will probably be a last minute choice (All colors are available at my area stores), but still unsure!!

I picked up my pre-ordered iPhone 15 Pro 256 GB in blue titanium on launch day. I returned the next day. The blue was too subtle for me. I want blue to say "BLUE" when I look at it. I'll probably purchase a natural titanium one in January timeframe. It will go nicely with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 which I bought on the rebound :)

I agree with you--blue is my favorite color and I bought a Spigen Ultra Hybrid to show it off, but it looks slate/black most of the time. The back of the case is probably causing a glare too.

No regret for me getting Blue Titanium, the rich deep dark blue looks so sleek and professional. I do see Natural Titanium in person and sometimes think aww wow that actually looks classy and that perhaps it would be easier to match with multiple cases, but overall, happy with the Blue and I think blue will also be the exclusive one this year; natural ti would stay as a ‘natural’ colour, like Silver and Black, while I predict Blue Titanium might be replaced with another colour Titanium.

Now this photo really shows off the blue! I wish it looked like this all the time!

Spigen Ultra Hybrid (frost black) on the black. And Ringke Fusion Bold (frost grey) on the natural.

That Spigen is a really nice case, feels smooth in the hand. I would recommend.

Ringke not so much. I’m only keeping it cause it was $9 and until something better comes along.

Just ordered one on Amazon and will be in my hands by tomorrow morning. Thanks!
 
Absolutely no regret on ordering the Natural Titanium color from a Blue iPhone 12 Pro Max (was going to go with blue again but once I saw the natural titanium on the launch day reviews I knew it was perfect to match my watch Ultra).

It looks like you upgrade every year, so you can't go wrong. Worst case scenario, you have to deal with the color only for a year.
 
Received my black 15 PM today and couldn't be happier. I always go for the black/dark grey option, always. The only other colour I would be interested in would be burgundy/wine red.

After 2 weeks of black I decided to to go with natural. It’s pretty surprising to me because I had black model till the 7 jet black.

The 15 PM BLACK is amazing but it gives me always the same feeling, I can barely notice that I upgrade my phone.

I did return my natural for black. It was just boring and I remembered in a year it won’t be the new cool color it will be the old color. Like the purple and green.

I have the natural pro and picked up the Pro max in blue yesterday. Damn what a decision now, I would have got another natural if they had it but they did not and now I like them both!

I do not use a case so the darker colour showing scratches worries me, but having said that I have no sense that these will scratch easily and it would have to be a deep ding or scratch to go down to the metal I would think? We have had coloured aluminium on android phones for years and I have never had an issue with them showing scratches, unless I drop them of course!

I am currently procrastinating as they both look great!

I had a natural 256gb PM. I loved the color , but I always get black devices. I threw it in my pitaka case and It was driving me crazy it wasn’t all uniform black.

Found a 512gb black titanium and purchased it and returned the natural. Won’t lie I miss that color. But my obsession with the stealthy all black phone is rectified. I tried several cases and couldn’t find one to show off the color of the natural that was as thin as the pitaka .

This happened to me with the green pro iphone. Loved the color and ended up swapping it out because I was obsessing about it not being black? I’m a weirdo.

So not really a regret, because I loved the color. But I did exchange 🤷

Which Pitaka case do you have? Got a pic with the phone in it?
 
I’m stuck between black ti and blue ti. For anyone who has seen the black ti in various lighting conditions, is it a warm kinda black? The wife has a graphite 13 PM and it somehow looks brown sometimes. I like cool colours.
