QUOTE(chongkiatz @ Jul 10 2025, 03:03 PM) sorry to say that , titanium and stainless generally are stronger than aluminum , the only benefit from aluminium is light weight , that the reason why u see nowadays a lot of kitchen cabinet , auto-gate slowly move from stainless to aluminum because of it light weight. unless u going naked , otherwise just put your phone with a good case then wont be too much of worry. but titanium still feels the best for sure and also the look becos of the matte finishing. 🤪

hi all, my gf just bought me an iphone 16 pro max 512GB natural titanium as present.
she bought it on 7th July 2025, we received it on 8th July and unseal the box, the more I look at it, the more I prefer other colors instead., however, after multiple attempts to chat with Apple Flagship Store (authorized reseller in Shopee Mall where gf bought it) and also fews calls to Apple support, none of them could help us change the color of the phone.
Personally, I prefer black color with transparent case for the look of it, any advice?

Buying from Apple Store online or TRX has the return policy but not other authorized dealers.

Yeah. To be honest, those sales online can be cheaper during double digit sales etc. Plus iPhone 17 is coming out soon. My suggestion is just buy a casing and it can be easily hidden, because selling it off again will make you lose more. I'm using Desert Titanium and sometimes I get bored of it too and most of the time, it is hidden under the casing.

The choice is yours and you can start selling now. My 15PM was a Natural Ti color and to me it looks nice.
