I’m also going for black this year. I was glad to see it’s darker than last year’s black.
It’s so refreshing to be in this thread of folks who are excited instead of scrolling through various instances of “what a letdown, this isn’t an upgrade, I won’t be buying it, iPhone 23 will be better”
That crazy expensive for something that scratch so easily! Defo return it.
Yea I am back for the ride even though I really have no reason to upgrade : ) I am in such a routine of getting the new phone every year. As much as I talked myself out of it, as soon as the "Get Ready" option in the app opened up here I caved. Anyway, good to see you back as well. Now I just need to contain myself from buying too many cases which just wind up sitting there.
Great minds think alike, eh? 😉 it’s definitely going to be an interesting year with the new button, but I cant imagine it’ll take too long to get used to. I’m glad I’m not in the case making industry because some people are getting uptight about having a button or a cutout much like last year lol. I’m indifferent but everyone’s entitled to their opinion 🤷
Hahah you and I are the same in that regard. I have 0 reason to upgrade besides wanting to, bad fomo I guess 😂 I said the same thing last year, but I’m actually going to make it a personal goal to not buy as many cases (guess we’ll see how that goes lmao) good to see you, friend!
Yes we are the crazies who need a case that makes the camera button work perfectly even if we never use the button
Honestly I know a lot of people loved the blue but I ended up wishing I got natural so this year is that year for me without a doubt.
Desert is nice and the novelty but not for me.
I love black but I had the space black 14PM then the blue 15PM which were both dark it's time to lighten up a bit.
White is super clean but too stark for me, last time I had a white iPhone was iPhone 5 lol
Ordered the Clear Grip from totallee again. Had it last year and it's exactly as the name implies: clear and grippy. Served me well last year, so I'm sure it will be the same this time around.
That makes sense. Part of me wished I went natural last year, but I love the white iPhones so I don’t regret my choice.
While the desert is nice, it’s also one of those colors where after 2 weeks it’d get old to look at, IMO.
My 13 PM was Sierra blue which I loved, then black 14 PM, then white 15 PM, now I guess it’s time to go back to black for 16 PM. I guess natural would sort of complete the quad-fecta but I think I’m mostly settled on black.
I loved my Sierra Blue 13PM too! It was such a good color
Such a good color, Apple hit it out of the park with that one. Wish I could have that color for the 16 PM
I'm personally very attached to my Deep Purple 14PM and I almost didn't upgrade this year at all but (1) I like being on the even-numbered updates and (2) the Black Titanium 16PM sold me.
I used to only get black phones anyway so now I'm just going back to my roots.

I'm considering this as I have other Belroy products and they are extremely well made and well thought out. That said, it's not available right away, so I might wait for reviews since I'll need to get something in the meantime. I do wish there was a light grey or other color option. I like that it's matte finish.Bellroy has a new case with built in attachment for a lanyard. Coming out in 4 weeks

I’ll get a ton of use out of the button! I have kids so the camera is necessary, but I also make skateboard videos and I am SO excited for that camera button. I’m going to have so much fun with it
I talk myself out of it as well, then for some unknown crazy reason I said well what the heck, why not. So I bought some cases, and now I’m forced to buy the 16 pro. I must be a sick person. 🤪 12 pro now will be a back up
Yeah, count me as one of those people. I’ll be sticking with Apple cases until the third-party manufacturers figure out the button situation. I understand why they had to go with a cutout initially, but hoping they eventually update their offerings with a button cover.
Hey, nothing wrong with that. If I'm honest with you, I'm leaning more towards having a dedicated cover for this new button, but I do plan on picking up a Caudabe case that has a cutout when they launch. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. That's the beauty of many different opinions!
Me too, however, my iPhone 14 pro max has scratches on the edge of the screen. Has the same thing happened to you?
