Went to the Apple Store and saw the colour in person. It’s very nice! Saw the 16 Pro as well and wow that is the perfect size.
 
Been testing the 16 Ultramarine and the 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium and I prefer the ultramarine 100%. Got asked twice from two people in my liquor store about the color. Striking phone in ultramarine.
That desert colour man 👎🏻.
Really not feeling that at all.

Glad you're enjoying the Ultramarine too!
 
My ‘pink’ phone in different lights. If it’s not in full daylight or bright white light it looks purple. Still very pretty. Wish they’d called it mauve or something.

I got the white one. I love purple so it’s in a mauve case. I did look at the Pink in store but it was too pink for me. I figured you couldn’t go wrong with the white. Hubby got the black. The sides are silver tone.

Ironically in my case you can’t even see the phone colour 🤣

Did anyone get the teal?? Tempted to upgrade if just for that color

I got it and very happy with it. I went from an iPhone 15 pro in natural titanium. Part of my reasoning for not going pro was the color choice and a $225 savings. Camera is great and I don’t miss pro motion or always on display. It definitely a muted teal and a cross between powder blue and teal.

I bought the white hoping it would resemble my favourite white iPhone 5. I’m disappointed as the back is so matt it looks like a sheet of cheap paper and the silver sides look more like plastic than brushed aluminium. I plan on returning it and buying the pink instead.
 
I'm not buying mine until Christmas so I've got a while to decide on a colour.

So far I'm thinking in order of preference...

Blue
Teal
Black
White
Pink

Luckily by Christmas they will have every colour and storage combo available without issue lol.

The white would be my second choice but I just wish the rails (sides) were white too. The silver just ruins it.
Your pics look good though, it’s definitely a clean colour!

It always bugs me the white phone has silver sides while all other phones it's colour matched.

I have purchased a new Pro Max Every Year since the 11, this year was the first year I did not get a new phone and mostly because the new Pro Max was boring, nothing that much new and would just get the same old white. I did order a new Titanium Watch which I love and did store pick up yesterday and got the chance to see the new phones and fell in love with the new 16 Plus in that Marine Blue but would take the pink as well. Those colors really pop. Plus such nice upgrades this year for the 16. I talked a good friend into trading her 12 for the new blue 16. I may consider still trading mine in for the Blue but I do travel a lot and use my 5x zoom that the pro has and would very much miss that.

I had the ultramarine and teal reserved for today so I could see them in store and decide. The teal was the instant winner. The ultramarine is sort of light/powder purple and the teal is mint IMO. Both stunning, but should be seen in person. I’m so happy with my 16+. Traded in my 13Pro and it feels so much nicer in the hand.
