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?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jul 11 2025, 06:44 PM) No chance to change since already unsealed. Buying from Apple Store online or TRX has the return policy but not other authorized dealers. appreciate the reply, so my only option is to sell it and buy again, right? she bought it at about rm6100, if we sell it at rm5800 (battery count 0, unused conditions, warranty just started on 8th July 2025) any idea if people ok with it?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jul 11 2025, 06:56 PM) 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.  appreciate your honest input, I mostly use my past phones naked for the feel of it, as for this 16pm, ideally i prefer it to be black with transparent case for the aesthetic of it, too bad gotten titanium color (the least likable out of the 4 colors) instead.

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Jul 12 2025, 10:44 AM) now your iphone 16 pro max natural titanium right ? black titanium out of stock? yes, that's right, it is natural titanium; it's not that black titanium out of stock, just that my gf guesses my choice of colors wrongly, hence here I am.

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Jul 12 2025, 04:13 PM) noted , well in my case i bought a iphone 16 pro max black titanium then suddenly realised natural titanium seems more attractive since my wife iphone 16 pro natural titanium bought at the same time as my black titanium .. then managed to sell back my iphone 16 pro max black titanium and bought iphone 16 pro max natural titanium mind to share the estimated used duration of your 16pm black and the sold at how much loss back then?

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Jul 12 2025, 06:44 PM) Used it only for a month, sold it at rm4.5k, loss around rm700+, that time the price rm5k ++ Bought my iphone 16 pro max 256gb natural titanium rm4854.19 during apple day promotion 🙂 I see, you got to experiences both colors and sticks to the one you like, for long term daily uses, that's already a win.

QUOTE(BuKeYi @ Jul 14 2025, 09:38 AM) it bought when ip16pm release, might still have some willing to change color with you. Now is almost waiting 17 to be announce, less likely will have someone willing to change. Your best bet, like what other mentioned. If you're selling it, expected it will make some loses and top up abit to buy the one you want (Selling it with lower price already make some loses, and you re-purchase again with the normal price will become double of your loses) Or you can find those decal wrap and wrap your phone with the black color, not sure if can find titanium black thou. Which you can save a ton from selling it. thanks for the advice and this is the first time I heard about decal wrap as you mentioned it, good to know there's such services out there.

base on this data, it seems like iphone 16 average charge cycle still stays at 80% battery capacity for 500 charge cycles.
it only “seems” to have better battery by tweaking the 100% drop to 99% at average of 300-350 cycles and drops dramatically to 80% (avg 500 cycles).
if only iphone 17 onwards brings in vapor chamber, the battery health and charging wattage could improve much more?
