iPhone 15 Pro Blue Titanium 15 Pro + Finewoven first impressions

Also picked up my blue titanium in Melbourne this morning. Stunning is an understatement. The blue is the classiest iPhone I’ve ever owned.

I fully concur!

I had thought previously Sierra Blue was the best colour Apple had ever made … but I couldn’t resist.

The lacklustre performance of Samsung Dex on the S23 I had for 30 days meant it was returned and happily upgraded to the 15 Pro 512GB 2 days ago. Glad to be back on iOS.

Feels VERY good in the hand but a bit slippery so Friday ordering a Pitaka Aramid case

I typically really like dark/navy blue, but I don’t like that titanium blue is so dark that it almost looks black in some lighting. I would much prefer it look dark blue (never black/dark gray) in all lighting.

Oh do not worry it really does look dark blue in all lighting.

That hasn't been my experience. I own it (for now). I (and a few others on MR) thought it looked almost black when I first saw it in the Apple Store and I've also seen it look that way in some other lighting. They just went a couple shades too dark with that color in my opinion.

The blue woven case looks really cool. Looks like dark blue.

It's very dark blue. I wasn't thrilled when this case first arrived, but have been using it for 1 1/2 weeks and I really like it. No marks on mine so far, it hardly adds any weight or bulk to the phone and all the buttons are covered and line up well. Unless it self destructs with further use, I am very happy to have it as a leather replacement.

Just picked up my iPhone 15 Pro here in Australia. Overall, so far quite happy, note, no technicalities to discuss about the phone itself as just yet as of time of writing because the phone is still being set up via iPhone to iPhone transfer (quick start).


I will start with the Blue Titanium, generally speaking while the Natural Titanium is the one getting all the love, I thought I would write up what to expect.

Titanium truly feels amazing in the hand, I will definitely have individual days going caseless just to enjoy how it feels in my hand.

I regret saying that Titanium Blue looks just like the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro - it does not. The specialist who helped me had a Pacific Blue 12 Pro compare and it was markedly lighter in shade. Blue Titanium is even darker and stealthier but thats why I also love it because it looks so classy. It is a lot closer to the Midnight MacBook Air. The colour of a clear night sky is my favourite, so of course, I am very happy here.

Outdoors in the daylight (it is overcast here, no sunlight), you can see the blue coming out.

However indoors, we instead see that Midnight clear night sky colour instead, mostly black with some indigo mixed in.

EDIT, seems the blue can actually pop indoors as well, just depends on the lighting but wow I love how classy this looks

Now, FineWoven.

I’m quite on the fence about it. It is definitely a step down in premium feeling over the leather cases. However, it isn’t as bad as I thought. The soft and velvety back still feels very nice in the hand. I haven’t managed to scratch it yet. And it still has the aluminised buttons we love from the leather case. Actually, the sides and front of the case still resemble what the leather case looked like.

I will keep it for the two week returns period and make a decision as to whether or not it I will keep it or exchange for a silicone case. Rest assured everyone, in the Silicone Cases selection for the 15 Pro thus far, there are plenty of good looking options with Blue Titanium as I tried on in store - Winter Blue, Storm Blue or Clay.



To sum up:

If you went for Blue Titanium, you are in for a real treat. This colour is really low key, it is stealthy and professional looking, I love it. It feels like two colours in one. I have a feeling that Blue Titanium will be the exclusive colour for this year rather than Natural Ti, so that also adds in to my satisfaction in choosing this phone where I’ll keep it for years.


As for FineWoven - maybe wait and see what you think of it first in person and on your phone and go from there. I know this case has gotten a lot of criticism and well justified, however, I think for now it is passable. I still miss the leather cases.
