Ranking them:
- Natural Titanium: This is definitely recency bias because it's new and the color I'll have in a week, but it seems the most different to me. I'm excited for it.
- Midnight Green: Should really be in 1st place, but again, recency bias of Natural Titanium. Also it's wild to me that that camera bump is that small - kind of comical looking.
- Deep Purple: Mixed feelings because I love it in bright light but it looks like mush 90% of the time.
- Sierra Blue: Really pretty and like that it's lighter for something different, but it looks too powdery most of the time to me.
- Pacific Blue: 🤮 Hate that blue-green color
Unapologetically fabric.
That would cause an absolute cluster F for retail employees with customers asking for that phone. Way too much confusion…. Unfortunately you have to decide what’s more important to you; having the phone day 1 or getting the best color possible.
Random thoughts now that the stress/anticipation of getting in on a launch date preorder…😁
This is the first time I’ve ever been reeeeeally tempted to go naked. Man that titanium just looks sexy, and covering up the looks and feel of it with a case makes me kinda sad. But the first time I drop and nick it I’d be gutted, so I’ll probably go with a slim clear case.
Can anyone tell me if you can trade in a phone that’s still on Verizon device payments? My son has become quite the photographer and the base 13 camera isn’t great so I’d like to upgrade for his birthday, but I have him on a 3 year device plan that gives credits making it an essentially free phone if I ride it out, so I don’t really want to pay a “penalty” in essence by paying that off. But I could do a trade-in on it through Apple and continue paying the balance, I’d be all for that.
Lastly, I see so many of you going for the max storage. Genuinely curious (ok, I’m nosy 😜), what is filling up your phones?! Photos? If so, please please PLEASE tell me how you organize them so that you can find a specific photo quickly when you’re looking for it! I always go for the minimum 128gb because I upload my photos to a home storage device (WD MyCloud) and delete them from my phone. It drives me crazy to have a ton of photos on it (to me, ~200 is a lot) because I feel like I can’t find what I’m looking for quickly. I sell a lot of items online and I may take a photo but not list the item for a month and by then it takes me too long to scroll to find what I’m after. That said, I only utilize the “recents” album so maybe I’ve just solved my own problem?! 😅😬

Are you going to get a fine woven case?
Yuck! Not that I use cases anyway but I feel like this is a huge mis-step by Apple here. They’re going to get raked through the coals for this one. Don’t be surprised if these are quietly retired and replaced with a different “vegan” leather option
I think we are waiting on @IceCool waiting for his confirmation. He’s stuck at professing stage.
Scratches give it character. The thing you need to worry about is the glass.
That said, mine goes naked this year.
Honestly, my phone is filled with pictures of my cat doing dumb stuff.
Move them to an external? Hell no. Sometimes I want a specific picture of my cat sneezing while my other cat licks his butt in the background.
No! I don’t rock cases. I baby my iPhones and extra careful with it. I stopped using cases since iPhone 5 came out. It’s been decade. Titanium will be durable tho.
the first cut is the deepest…. but then you’ll get over it. I usually end up with at least one break but it’s only $29 with apple care and sometimes you get lucky and get a whole new phone (although less so these days)
Thanks for replying...Im seeing the track tab..I dont see track by reference number
Oh that’s definitely reassuring.
Oh ok yeah not sure about that fine woven case i am seeing alot of bad reviews now.
You are mischaracterizing my point. My point is:
A. All cases are a trash-creating money grab
AND
B. It’s of 0 surprise they moved away from leather
They are not mutually exclusive
They are creating no new trash than before. They sold cases before, they sell cases now. It remains to be seen if these have a higher margin. It’s reasonable to believe that the materials used as input to produce these cases are of lower carbon footprint than the old leather; there’s no evidence to support that this claim is false.
My thing is don’t try to tell me this is as premium as a leather case and charge leather case prices. If they would’ve just said this is this was their sustainable option and then sold it for for $40. Then that’s fine.
I read a bloomberg report that ‘Made in India’ iPhone 15 is being made available at launch. Does this also include the pro versions?
I specifically chose to skip Pacific Blue (even though blue is my favorite color) because it was blue-green. I think I might have skipped the Sierra Blue because I put the wrong phone (space grey) in my bag. I was ok with it so I never got that blue but its very pretty. Deep Purple was what I had in the 14 Pro Max and I loved it but I longed for exactly the dark blue color they gave us this year. If they'd not have offered it in blue this year I probably would have gone with Black Titanium as I feel the natural is just too plain.
Still at “order placed” for my pickup on 9/22.
Hate that everyone else seems to have moved to processing. Only thing I can think of is I had a case on my order as well? Could be causing a delay? Not sure.

Yup photos and videos for me:
I’m ok with 512gb for now though. I keep my photos on my device and on iCloud
The case is not the problem: the phone design is. Cases are only trash-creating money grabs if phone they are designed to fit has its dimensions changed arbitrarily or unnecessarily.
And, let's be honest, they are not moving away from leather for any reason you mentioned or any reason other than price. If leather was cheaper than these products, they'd find a way to tell the story that it was "a good thing".
