Other What are your thoughts on Titanium after some time with 15 Pro and Pro Max?

[Cedo_]

I typically go caseless, so I really enjoy the look and feel of the brushed titanium on the sides. The reduced weight is the main selling point for me, the 15 pro max doesn't feel like a cinder block like my 14 did, and the rounded corners help too.

The Nat Titanium is such an unflattering shade to me. It looks like Depressing Office Building Wall Beige. I’m glad I pre ordered blue because it’s by far the winner this gen. Still would have preferred purple though. Other two colors aren’t notable to me one way or the other.

lol such a polarising colour. Nat titanium is my favourite iPhone colour ever. Looks metallic silver in cool lighting and slightly sandy gold in indoor warm lighting. Also the sides and the back blend better than any other iPhone.

Nat Ti does look beige in many of the photos, for some reason, so I take take those comments with a grain of salt since it’s likely many of the comments are from people who haven’t seen it in person.

In most lighting, it’s quite a cool metallic silver.

I don‘t use a case, and I don’t normally leave my phone face down. I walked over to get my phone the other day, which was face down on a table, and I was actually taken aback by how good the back of the phone looked in the light coming through the window. It was definitely a shimmering metallic silver that was really eye catching.

No regrets choosing the Natural Titanium color for our iPhone 15 Pro Maxs. It provides a nice contrast with the Otterbox Defender Pro on my wife's phone and the Defender Pro XT on mine. We typically would have chosen the darker colors but felt it was time for a change.

I thought from stock photos 'here we go again with another Pacific Blue' but nah, its a distinguished blue.

I agree. The blue this is year is probably what people who love blue really want, as oppose dto the Pacific Blue from a few years ago.

$9 worth of titanium. LOL

Why not tell us about the bill of materials for your phone?

You make that sound so good, like a dream. I can't wait to hold mine in my hands!

Feels really cheap compared to stainless steel and less premium imo

 

[barkomatic]

I liked the polished look on the stainless steel and weight was never an issue for me. I didn't read about weight as an issue often here before the titanium versions were released. Then suddenly, you would have thought that a stainless steel iPhone was a 45lb barbell based on commentary.

That being said, I know Apple had to change up the aesthetic to give people a reason to upgrade. Shiny/glossy is out, brushed is in. I'm a bit meh about the new iPhones but that won't stop me from getting one when the time comes.

I saw all three colors in person at the Apple Store and for the first time in years I'm leaning toward black. The natural titanium reminds me too much of the color of 1990s office tech.

 

[rui no onna]

Indifferent since I always have my phones in cases anyway. I do appreciate the weight loss compared to stainless steel but would've preferred the even lighter aluminum.

 

[Apple_Robert]

With a leather case on my 15 pro, I haven't noticed a difference compared to the 14 pro I had. I am ambivalent to the Titanium frame aspect.

 

[eoblaed]

Titanium Black, have had since launch day, never use a case. So far, love it.

The purple 14 Pro looks really nice. I'm thinking of buying a global iPhone when I go on vacation for the nano SIM slot. I'm torn whether to get a green 15 Plus or purple 14 Pro Max.

I only posted it once. Get a clue.

Choose based on if you care more about pro motion or camera. 15 has a better camera 14P has the better screen.

I don't care about ProMotion.

Curious, I thought the 14 Pro Max has a largely similar camera to the 15 Pro Max. How is the 15 Plus' camera better than the 14 Pro Max?

You lose 3x zoom but gain 24MP photos as well as automatic portraits, and the 15 is much less extreme with HDR processing.

Yeah the software enhancements make 15 plus pictures cleaner than 14 pro max

they gave it extra TLC and sort of abandoned 14 Pro max improvements afaik

 

[redbeard331]

Watch this to see what's actually titanium on the 15 Pro's

People shouldn’t give this guy views for his nonsensical clickbait.

Thanks! The main attraction of the 14 Pro Max for me (apart from the Deep Purple color) is the camera system. If the 15 Plus has a better main camera anyway couple with excellent battery life and lighter weight, that seems like a better choice.

Now the only question is whether I could find the 15 Plus in stock in the Philippines right before Christmas. It's a bit annoying that the 15 Plus there costs the same as the 15 Pro Max in the US. However, it's still cheaper than going through eBay.

This is like melting down a set of these Ducati titanium rods and then Saying something like hur hur iT’s OnLy 50 bUcKs oF TiTaNiUm…🙄🙄

Ducati OEM CONNECTING ROD 15620191A

Titanium connecting rods derived from Ducati Corse's racing efforts. More than 20% lighter than standard connecting rods results in lower mass and inertia and therefore faster engine rpm increase at each throttle opening.
