Nope. I'm loving how the blue looks in videos.

Kinda wishing I chose natural titanium instead of blue. Oh well.
Not me. The blue looks fantastic as far as I can tell and if the PVD coating really does chip badly I’ll just exchange it for a natural TI.
I don’t think people need to be concerned about the durability of titanium. I suspect what most people will likely be concerned with, and rightfully p***ed off about, would be the chips in the coating. If I’m not mistaken they used PVD coating too to it the metal. This isn’t DLC like the Apple Watch Edition space black Ti unfortunately.
I honestly do think I’m starting to regret blue. I did have the blue 13 Pro Max but went back to silver with the 14 Pro Max. I chose blue this year, was torn between blue, natural and white. I wish there were white unboxing videos because if it was a white white (i.e. not the metallic white we have in the 14 Pro’s) I’d be 100% sure. But from most videos I’ve seen the white looks more metallic so I figured I would go with blue since blue is my favorite color. But now, after seeing some videos, I actually forgot how darker phones make the bezels look thicker than the lighter phones do and think I’ll regret not choosing titanium or white. And if white is more of a matte white than a metallic white, I’ll really regret this year. There’s always Apple’s launch morning iPhone stock though for a last minute decision…..
People seem to be missing that all of the Pros use the PVD coating, even the Natural. When any of them scratch, they’ll expose a different color metal.
I’m a little sad I was unable to get a raw titanium however it’s far more important to get one on launch day. I had the ability my first order but chose blue, had to cancel and re order, and by that point my only options were blue and black so I stayed with blue. I might end up feeling unique since it seems like everyone is getting raw titanium.
I went with black and I’m fine with that. I like the natural titanium, but it does seem to suggest shades of silver and sometimes gold depending on the lighting and a couple if reviews suggested that,. I’m not worried about the PVD coating on the black as two of my watches have been granite with PVD coating, and they were both immaculate after a year. My phone is gonna be in a case anyway
I don't regret it at all. I used to rotate between colors but as of late I've been getting the newest color Apple announces. This time I was choosing between the black and natural titanium. I went with the natural titanium because it seems like it's not that far off from the Watch Ultra color.
Are you really surprised that he scratched it up already. He put it up against some sharp rocks like a careless idiot. It's not his phone, so what does he care if it get's scratched up in the review process.
Blue. Hard to regret what I haven’t even seen in person yet. Based on the videos and photos I’m even more impressed with the color. It just needs a bumper to protect the edges from smudges and scratches, same as with the iPhones I’ve got now.
will the 15s be in store on Friday morning so we can check them out?
There’s a slight difference with the white this year. Like you, I didn’t like the super metallic (almost blue-ish) tint. This year seems like it’s back to the standard white we’d expect. 15 pro is on the right
