Because if the finish on these is anything like the finish on Titanium jewelry, the colors aren’t going to wear very well. Titanium is softer than you think and it will get scratched up over time. They all scratch but the lighter white and natrual finish should hide it better The blue and black which are going to get a lot of patina over time if they aren’t in a case.
the last few words says it all... "if they aren't in a case".. but you know well over 98% of them will be..

I rarely see anyone without a case where I live.. Saw a lady without a case this past weekend.. it had been a while.
 
Natural titanium, because...

My vision is terrible … Is that grease marks on the titanium blue?
 
Thanks to the GIGANTIC camera module which cases don’t usually cover, MOST people will notice the color of your phone even with a case on :)
That’s what stopped me going natural titanium - I love the look of the metal, but all I’ll see is boring grey glass.

Hi! I just signed up for the upgrade program when checking out with my 15 PM. How does it work next year to upgrade? Does your account know you're on the upgrade program then you just turn in your phone to a store? Appreciate any help!
You’ll get an e-mail when you’ve made your 12th payment. It says you’re eligible for an upgrade. Then that’ll populate the choices in the Apple Store’s “pre-order” options. It added a section for me to agree to turn in my current phone and apply for a new loan (you reapply every year, but it takes literally seconds), and then you go from there.

A few days after you get the new phone, you’ll get a package with the kit to turn in your current phone. You’ll follow the instructions and drop it off at UPS or FedEx. It’s super easy! I’ve done it since they started the program, maybe three or four years ago now.

Oh, one thing: last year, my speaker was weird, so I brought it in to the Apple Store and they replaced it before I turned it in. The iUP requires AppleCare+, and it’s built into the price.

Since the iPhone 13 Pro Max, I have always chosen White/Silver, mainly because it easily combines with different cases, and I just like white. And, it matches my silver MBP and silver iPad Pro with a white magic keyboard.

The Titanium rumor made me kinda worried that the new iPhone Pro won't have the white option as white as my 14 PM, but glad they did. If the Apple Watch Ultra 3 has this option, I may also consider it. (the natural titanium Ultra does sort of fit my Starlight iPad mini tho.)

Yes, you are notified that you are eligible for an upgrade ahead of the new phone launch. Once the new phones are announced, you are given a chance to do a pre-order, where you select everything you want for your new phone and get pre-qualified for the loan again. It's really super-simple and slick. It can even create a Siri Shortcut for you so on launch day all you have to do is say 'Hey Siri, order my phone' and you are done in 60 seconds.

They also offer theft protection with the AppleCare+, which I bought this time.

I can’t wait till next year, i have been holding back since the 12 pro max. With all the new updates, and the rumoured size increase with brighter display. I am now stocked to buy a new iphone after 3 years of not updating.
