I agree case is a must but Amazon don’t seem to agree 😅
They had to. Aluminium dissipates heat way better than Titanium. It makes sense for Pro phones…
One coming via Yodel, one via UPS - lets see who wins !
(I mean i know the answer, fully expecting UPS to arrive at 9am prompt and i'll still be here waiting for yodel come 8pm....)

I think it looks better than the Orange. But the Deep Blue is easily the best looking one out of the three imo.
But nothing comes close to iPhone Air’s Space Black.
I don't want everyone in here to come charging at me with pitchforks but I honestly think all 3 Pro model colours (and the design in general) is just really bad. 😐
They're kinda boxed in - supposedly need to use aluminium for heat, and this unibody thing, but forced to use glass for MagSafe, which clashes/can't be colour matched due to the way light works.
So you end up with it looking like a sticker, and in certain lights a ghastly clash/contrast with the metal. I almost think the glass should be black on all models, with only the aluminium coloured.
Again, no issue for people with a case but I've never used a case and never will.
Worst iPhone design since iPhone 6. I said what I said.
I can relate. I’m having the same problems with my Pro 15.
It’s been locked in for £460 by mazumamobile…
Surely they could have done an anodized Stainless steel, the phone can’t run that much hotter than last year
I ordered it at about 3.15, so I was late but I’m surprised there’s been no change on the status, even if it was to say it would be a few weeks.
I ordered a Cosmic Orange 256GB Pro Max
Probably due to weight I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
They could have done a better job on the design for sure. It feels intentional that they've made it look so utilitarian and "it's a tool, not a pretty phone" to push more people to the Air (which also comes in black).
Weirdly I've ordered Deep Blue myself but kinda regret not picking Silver.
Agree though, Space Black on the Air is the best colour of any iPhone this year. Still slightly tempted to switch from the Pro to the Air, if it wasn't for the cameras.
I'm sooo jealous. I'm in Italy in these days so my flatmate will (hopefully) receive it and sign it for me today. I had even thought to cancel my holiday when I made the preorder (LOL) or to come back earlier (not seriously... 🙂).
At least my return on Tuesday will be made sweeter by the excitement.
