What’s It Like Spending a Month with Natural Titanium

Could you post a picture of the phone with the blue case? I just got one in the same color (first iPhone by the way) but I got it with a very dark green case. It didn’t look as bad as I thought it would, but I love navy blue and wanted a blue iPhone 15 pro instead.

Congrats on the new iPhone. Yes, I can. Let me grab one and send it to you later. I have the green fine woven case, and I really like it on the Natural Titanium too. It’s just worn out.

I bought a 15 Pro 256GB Natural Titanium in early Dec 2023. I read the articles about darker color models chipping away and decided to go with Natural Titanium. Best choice for me.

Looks like a month with black plastic, a minute with titanium.

Good for you, caseless dude.

I don’t understand the hype around this phone.

I love natural titanium. I have it, but under direct sunlight, it can look a bit cheap. That’s probably the case for all the colors. Black probably hides it a bit better. It shines under cool lighting though, just like in your last picture.

I used to get the white or gold or rose gold. With the 15 Pro, I got the black and loved it, but I was jealous of my wife’s natural titanium. I don’t know what it is, but it makes me want it.

I’m confused about why people are buying the 15 pros when the 16 pro just came out. No hate, just curious.

Depending on where you are, it can be a few hundred cheaper than the iPhone 16 pro at full MSRP.

Here in the EU, there’s practically no difference between iPhone 15 models and the 16. If you don’t need camera control, you can save some money.

Some people want to save money, so there’s nothing wrong with that. The gap between the 15 Pro and 16 Pro isn’t huge, and the A17 Pro still performs well.

I got it new at a good price. New phone with a new battery. And I got the 16 Pro for my wife. I didn’t feel the need to upgrade.

I just got the 15 Pro to save money and I’m very happy with it. I came from a 14 Pro. I see no reason to pay more for the latest iPhone when this one is almost the same and costs less.

The 16 Pro is €300 more expensive, heavier, wider and taller, and has weird cases with cutouts for a camera button that isn’t very useful.

My wife has the 16 Pro. She probably never used the Camera Control button.

In Malaysia, the iPhone 16 pro is RM500 (110 USD) cheaper than the 15 Pro.

I got mine on a plan. The 15 pro max was half the cost of the 16 pro max. I didn’t see any real difference between the two to justify spending more on the newer one.

Apple products aren’t great.

Samsung has better products, but many people don’t like their ecosystem.
