In all my years I’ve had a case and never dropped my phone. I plan to not use one for the natural titanium and I betcha I drop it the first week.
I have dropped all my phones since v1. None of the recent phones have had cases and they have not needed them.
 
Natural titanium, because...

how much do you want to bet that this won't be a problem ever?

Also, natural titanium is an extremely normie color, look how many people with take it, actually sad.
 


The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are available in an entirely refreshed range of colors thanks to a new titanium design. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro families have different color options, so if you have your heart set on a particular shade, you may not be able to get your preferred model in that color.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are available in four colors, all of which are different from those available on last year's iPhone 14 Pro models. This year's iPhone color options are quite different from those offered in previous years because the device now features a titanium frame with a brushed texture and contoured edges, as opposed to the polished stainless steel offered since 2017's iPhone X. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max's four available color options are:

  • Black Titanium
  • White Titanium
  • Blue Titanium
  • Natural Titanium

The color option that Apple previously called "Silver," encompassing a design with silver metal and white glass, has been available on iPhones for over a decade. This is now "White Titanium" on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This shade has been tweaked to feature a slightly more beige back glass and softer overall tone.

2022's "Space Black," which was previously "Graphite," is now simply "Black Titanium." It is more of an extremely rich, dark gray tone than deep black. Blue Titanium, on the other hand, appears to be more like navy blue, deeper than previous shades such as the iPhone 12 Pro's Pacific Blue. Black and Blue Titanium may be more likely to attract fingerprints on account of their darker finish. Scratches, scuffs, and dents could also be more visible on these finishes than White or Natural Titanium.

"Natural Titanium" is a wholly new shade that showcases the true color of the titanium frame with no color applied to its surface in the PVD process. The rear glass is a matching mid- to-light gray tone. The finish is very similar to that of the Apple Watch Ultra, which also has a titanium casing. It also harks back in some ways to the Space Gray finish of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.

It is worth noting that there is no iPhone 15 Pro with a Gold finish. Gold was available through 2013's iPhone 5S to 2017's iPhone 8, and then on 2018's iPhone XS to 2022's iPhone 14 Pro. If you were a fan of this color in previous years, you will now need to look to one of the other options. The warm gray of Natural Titanium may be the best alternative.

How to Decide on a Color

If you use your iPhone with a case, you may wish to consider which device color will best complement it. You may prefer neutral tones such as White Titanium or Black Titanium and use a more colorful case. Alternatively, you could choose a more striking device color like Blue Titanium and use a more neutral case for an interesting contrast.

White or Black Titanium may age better over time as new devices are released since they are more neutral, almost monochrome shades that tend to have a more timeless effect. If you do not use a case at all, you may wish to take advantage of a more eye-catching color option such as Natural or Blue Titanium.

If you want an iPhone in a shade that is noticeably brand new, Natural Titanium is the best option. It is most likely to indicate that you have the latest-generation device and could be the most popular color option this year since it is quite different from the offerings in recent years.

Your choice of color may also be dependent on how often you upgrade your iPhone. If you upgrade every year, you may be more confident in buying a more striking new color. If you upgrade more often, it can be a good idea to get a different color every time. A new finish can certainly add some novelty to purchasing a new iPhone and make it feel more different from your previous device. Alternatively, if you tend to keep your iPhone for many years and upgrade less often, it may be wiser to consider a color that is more similar to one you have enjoyed previously.

Customers with multiple Apple devices may also want to get an iPhone color that complements their other devices. For example, if you have a Midnight MacBook Air and HomePod, Blue Titanium is a good match. The Apple Watch Ultra will be best complimented by Natural Titanium, while Apple Watches with stainless steel casings will be best matched by White Titanium.

I like it the best out of those options, but I find it bland. Wish there was a green option, but with natural titanium frame.
 
why'd you cancel your order?
I just realized that, although I would enjoy the weight savings with titanium, most of what I would be paying for this time around I really don’t care about. Maybe I’ll check out all of the 15s at an Apple Store after the initial rush is over. More likely, I might just wait until next year. And it might not be a Pro that I buy.
 
I am actually there is no "space grey" option. I think that color is overplayed. I didn't get a space grey Air and now no space grey phone... I have a white phone coming and a starlight MacBook Pro. Mini had to be silver... My PC is white with as many white accents in it as I could get.
 
I think the more appropriate question is What case and case color did you go with? The color of the phone is the color of the case.

Mulberry here.

Completely on a whim this morning, I bought the 512 GB Black Titanium Pro. I have a 12 Pro and wasn't really looking to upgrade, but was just traveling through Iceland & Greenland and saw how much better the 14 was compared to mine, photowise.. I clicked preorder and just kept going and just said the hell with it and hit order at the end. It arrives Friday!

I love how people answer this question as if the answers somehow separate us into tribes. I'm not holding a planning meeting with the other blue phone buyers to figure out how to take down owners of the other 3 colors. 😂
