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

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.

By covering them up with a tempered screen glass protector that has black borders. Resulting in my 16PM no longer having the worlds thinnest bezels and looking on par to what my iPhone 14PM looks like viewable display area.
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

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

no pro max anywhere around here, desert is awful, i'm returning today. crushed!
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!

First impressions? It's the best phone I have ever owned, and there have been plenty. Not just iPhone. Have the 16 PM in White.

Got the desert titanium (upgrading from natural titanium). Wanted the black one but it was not available.

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)

Same here! I have the 16 PM in Natural, and I absolutely love this phone. Big difference from all the upgrades I have had.

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.
