This iCloud restore process across two new iphones this year has been messy for me. Lessons learned. Don’t setup two iPhones for yourself at the same time.

No cause at that size I’d rather use the 16 Pro Max. They’re already at discomfort levels so might as well get the best one.
I have a 16 Pro Max and my gf bought a 16 Plus.

She likes the 16 plus more specially for the colors that aren’t boring and the weight way more manageable compared to the Pro Max
And I kinda envy her some times tbh haha

Still love my PM more personally. It’s nice to have options for everyone
 
Desert color looks pink I hope art store has devices or I might be stuck with it
certainly doesn't look pink at all. it's more white and some levels rose gold but not pink. that's completely different

If you hate the colour that much get a skin. it's only a colour.

Excuse me. Rose is what colour? 😆 It definitely looks pink. I have it as well and I have white which I still did not unbox. So I think I will send back desert as it looks femine and keep white. The White has wonderful silver sides as well better than natural titan
 
Seems snappy and really liking everything except for an issue I’m having where the edges are not consistent in touch responsiveness

Rose isn’t pink though is it? Surely you must know the difference?

This is pink

Go the whole 9 yards and do what I’m doing with my Desert Sand 16PM, embrace your masculine side 😂

If returning, just get a gift card and keep checking the Apple Store app for in-store pickup stock. They're constantly getting more (and at random hours) during this initial rush. You'll likely have the model you want within a day or two. Seems like white is the hot seller so far this year based on my own observations.

I lucked out exchanging my Desert Titanium for Natural Titanium yesterday. I saw that an Apple Store had natural in stock, went in, and they swapped it right away without making me wait in line again. "You already went through that," the employee said. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Did you order online or did you order originally for Instore pickup? Wasn’t sure if they let you swap if you ordered online for delivery

I ordered for in-store pickup yesterday morning and paid outright. I think as long as you paid in full, exchanges are easy for them even if you had it delivered.

Interesting didn’t know that. Sounds like if people who do want to change colour keep checking the website like you did.

That’s the complexity of Desert Ti, and I love it, it can look pink or sand alltogether!

White/silver was the move in my case.

no interest in Natural or Desert after seeing in person, Natural this year looks worse from memory than last?

And the black is nice but kinda boring and smudge print magnet. But definitely not bad - that's the only other color I'd opt for.


Even on 16 front, I'd go black or blue. The teal was nice but also disappointing to see in person and no interest in the other colors. White would be cool too, but I think Pro White is superior (finally a superior color on the Pro in some form lol)

Very glad I went for the White. Looks nice with a clear case.
 
First impression, how much lighter frames iPhones make the bezel looks smaller compared to black which I’ve been buying yearly. The black frame blends with the bezels that makes them look thicker. I love the natural titanium and the new slimmer bezels looks amazing.
