Another year, another iPhone launch!
I rocked up at 8am this morning and picked up my iPhone 15 Pro Max at the Apple Store in Sydney Australia - Natural Titanium for my partner and Blue Titanium for myself.
There were separate queues for walk ins and pick up and they checked people’s timeslots and ID before they let you in the line. There was a massive big crowd but they let people into the store very quickly. Lots of employees ready to serve everyone.
First impressions:
Pics below. Pic with three phones are 14PM Space Black, 15PM Blue Ti and 15PM Natural Ti.
Cases include Apple FineWoven in mulberry, Mujjo burgundy leather and Otterbox Figura case.
Bonus photos and video of the Apple Store in Sydney when it was about to open at 8am. Everyone was so excited!
Happy to take any questions!
I rocked up at 8am this morning and picked up my iPhone 15 Pro Max at the Apple Store in Sydney Australia - Natural Titanium for my partner and Blue Titanium for myself.

First impressions:
- LOVE the Blue Ti. It appears mostly navy. Very close to (but a shade or two lighter than) the Midnight M2 MBA.
- Natural Ti looks much better in person than in photos / YouTube videos. It's got a slight golden hue and has a raw metal look to it. I don't have the AW Ultra anymore but I feel it would be a perfect match. It looks and feels very premium
- The phone feels SO MUCH LIGHTER than the 14 PM. I know the weight is only 8-10% less but Apple has redistributed the weight and now it doesn't feel like a brick. It is also visibly shorter and narrower (small difference in actual mm but you can see it straight away when put side by side).
- Rounded edges on the 15PM makes the phone feel easier to hold without a case with better grip. The edges don’t dig into your hands like the 14 PM did.
- Action button is cool. It is responsive and you get a haptic feedback to tell you it’s active. The press is shorter than I thought but should still prevent accidental presses
- Bezels are noticeably smaller than the 14 PM.
- Belkin Ultra Glass 2 protector has no notch at the top, and runs to edge of the viewable display, stopping at the bezel (i.e. No concerns with “curve” at edges”
- iPhones came with iOS 17.0 installed. It prompted me to update the software first before I could proceed with transferring data from my old iPhone over.
