White was my choice when we were looking at a Zune Brown phone. It’s so pretty. I just love this gold shade though, reminiscent of my gold 6S+.
Got a tip for us?

One thing I’ve noticed is the keyboard haptic feedback is a lot stronger. It’s much better.
A) What a chore to go through life constantly feeling the need to crap on other's enjoyment of things.
B) As mentioned by others, the color of the camera lenses and the square show through on the back, and can either clash or complement a case. I don't use garish ugly cases. I tend to use fine leather cases, or otherwise understated and minimal cases, of which the color of the camera square can be used to complement and look classy, or look awful, depending on how things work. Also, occasionally I use a clear case that shows the color in its entirety...and I also sometimes go without a case if I'm not walking out and about.
i hear you it’s one of those colors that can draw a strong reaction either way. gotta say though i’m liking the desert better and better the more i see images of it.
will you, or did you lol, post pics? heard the white was super bright this year, would be interested to see more pics.
tim apple throwing a nod to the keeb community running vintage mx black switches on the 16s 😅
word i’m just too lazy for that lol. easier to just chill and let ppl vibe however they want- long as nobody’s getting hurt.
Thanks for sharing, OP!! Looks great.
My 16PM in Desert Ti is out for delivery today here in the US!!

As always appreciate your posts and photos. Is the screen narrower since the device is now slightly taller ? Thanks
That’s…concerning.
Can any other pro max users confirm. Do we not get any extra vertical space in safari for content?! That’s kind of one of the reasons I was looking forward to the 6.9” size. Hopefully Apple eventually gets their **** together and lets Pro Max users fit more content on screen across the OS.
I had to look closely but I think there’s a little extra space. To me it looks like the gray part in question is the same size as on my 15PM.
I have white and I have desert 16 PM. I do not know which one to unbox.
This is not gorgeous. This is disgusting.
lmao to each their own. I don’t like the idea of black phones with black cases but many other people do, I’m not here to yuck their yum, harmless things that make other people happy have no ill effects on me whatsoever ✌🏼
My 15 pro max next to my 16 pro max in white.
You can definitely feel the weight difference. Can’t really tell big deal with the bezels. Negligible. Camera button is nice but nothing earth shattering.
Here are two quick shots of my 16 PM in Desert titanium vs my 15 Pro in natural titanium. Getting used to the big phone, and it definitely is big. I like the extra screen real estate and larger media, but honestly the very best thing about the bigger phone is the typing experience. Massive reduction in typos.
Camera button is way too slow.. clicking photo app and taking a photo is 3x faster..
Not much change comparing to 15 pro max

I have to say…this was the quickest the excitement of a new phone after unboxing wore off as far back as I can remember. This is coming from a yearly upgrader. Contemplating just sticking with the 15 PM one more year.
honestly i absolutely hate my desert titanium. i was SO HYPED about it and ran to preorder it. it's so dull and mid. my wife opened hers (same color) and i was convinced it was a natural titanium that looked weird, it was so disappointing. i'm 100% returning mine. i wanted a real bronze/gold and this is like if you took iPhone 5/6 Champagne and made it lifeless. you made a better choice.
the new black looks sleek from the picture posted in this thread. because i'm on the Apple Upgrade Program, i know returning is going to be annoying. maybe i just keep the Blue Titanium another year.
Ordered Desert first, then cancelled and ordered White. In-Store pickup today, but I keep neurotically going back and forth on which one I want. I see one good photo of the white - ooh I want the white! Another good photo of the desert - ooohh I actually want the desert! And vice versa.... Hard decision. I'll see them in person in a few hours and hopefully that'll make it easier to make a final call.
