I absolutely love my Blue Ti.. The Natural Ti looked too dull ..tried the white for a week (always got black) but then that Blue (to me) was (is) gorgeous!
I’m actually thinking of going from the 15 pro max natural to blue 15 pro…. I think you got the better choice
As a no case guy, color makes a difference for me
So when I got gold for my 13 Pro Max, I was happy for a while till I saw Sierra Blue in person. Wow what a color. Instantly had regrets getting gold (preordered so no way to see in person)
What did I do? I just waited till I was ready to upgrade to a new phone (my 15 Pro Max) and got the color I liked the best for the 15PM (which turned out to be Natural Titanium)
Sure I got jealous everytime I saw Sierra Blue out in the wild (and still do), but no way was it worth the time, effort, and money to switch out for a different color. I’d recommend you keep the one you have.

Do what makes you happy OP. I’m considering going from my 15 to a 15 Pro. Financially it’s not the best of decisions but if it makes us happy then we shouldn’t be second guessing ourselves.
Sierra Blue is a beauty..
I was thinking of that too lol Color wasn't an issue for me but decided between the Pro and Pro max was like it is every year. Went with the pro but loosely thought about getting a max too since I haven't had a big phone since the 7 plus days.
I picked up the Blue Titanium on release day and don't regret it one bit. I also like the natural titanium but blue is my favorite color and missed out on the Pacific Blue on the 12 Pro since it wasn't an upgrade year for me. I was thinking Titanium since I do fancy Titanium in general but I also waited so long for a Blue too. The fact it was Titanium Blue was a win-win. Usually I go for Grey or Black and waited forever for a nice blue color. There have a been a couple of times I didn't get the color I wanted (X Silver and 13 Pro Sierra Blue instead of Black and Space grey) but I ended up liking them and since I only keep phones for 2 years now instead of one, 2 years can still go quick. Or I could have upgraded a year later if it bothered me that bad. Usually I get the colors I want but the X was more of I want I now vs. waiting and the SB was the only one in stock if I recall at the time. In the end, the Silver and SB grew on me and it was nice to do something different after always doing Grey/Black throughout the years.
I say do what's happy for you or just wait since you upgrade every year.

That's how I felt when the X came out. I wanted black but X was so hard to come by and when it did, it was silver. I thought, it will sit in a case anyways even though I like to rock it naked sometimes. Plus the black leather case on it gave it a classy look, so it grew on me and was nice to do something different after always doing grey/black phones. Finally got the phone color I've been waiting for, Titanium Blue
Don't you still have to carry them around at the same time though since you have to manage 2 numbers?
No no. Just transfer the eSIM from phone to phone when you wanna swap devices.
oh is it that easy!? I have limited experience when transferring eSIM. How easy is it or can be and time involved? In my limited experience it went from a QR code to calling into the carrier activating the imei number. This is with my prepaid tmobile esim. (I run dual sim on one phone) Haven't done it with my Verizon post pay but I think you can even do it online with postpay? I feel like postpay may be easier. Do you swap frequently or just every so often? Any gotchas with it in terms of apps or message history, etc. I have an iPhone so probably would have to sign into both devices with iCloud and connect via WiFI to keep that stuff in sync. I am kinda liking your idea and even recently loosely thought of that.
Every upgrade, I debate between Pro and Pro Max but usually end up getting the Pro which I'm always happy with but I get that FOMO with the max. I also appreciate the Pro's size but would be nice to have the Max in certain times. I haven't had a plus size since iPhone 7+. Liked it for that year I had it and got the 8+ before the X. Since then, every other year, no more annual upgrades. Maybe I was still upgrading annually, may give it a shot but kinda over that.
It’s simple. Go to settings->cellular-> add eSIM. It’ll confirm on the other phone you are transferring and takes legitimately 2 minutes. If your on Wi-Fi and turn the other device on it should keep up with messages and settings etc. I toggle between the 15 pro in Blue titanium and 15 pro Max black titanium. Yes I missed the window To return the 15 pro so I am stuck with both.oh is it that easy!? I have limited experience when transferring eSIM. How easy is it or can be and time involved?

Yes. Same phone number. Just switch the eSIM when you want to Use the other device.
It’s not possible for both phones to have the same number at the same time. I just transfer the eSIM from one to the other. I did the same thing with physical sims when those were used.
It might be cheaper to just buy a very stylish case that that's so nice yet obscures the phone color so much that you never think about it anymore. 🤔
Wow, that's seems crazy simple and fast. I like that. Whenever you switch, do you have to go back to the other one and remove it until you re-add?
Thanks for all this great info by the way! Much appreciated! I bought my 15 Pro on release date when I maybe should have tried the Max out first. Downside to buying when a new phone is released in that it's harder to exchange due to limited supply. Phones just weren't in stock during the return window and when they were, it wasn't my local Apple Stores but 2 hour away Apple Stores. :/ However, I've been hearing that it's easier through the carriers where you don't have to actually give the device back until the new one arrives...I bought from Apple direct, so not sure they could have done that. With that said, at least I'm stuck with a device I want and happy with as opposed to the opposite.
I know you're stuck with both but nothing wrong with having a good backup phone though. I take it Max is your preference?
I'm feeling the opposite. I have Natural Titanium, but my pops got the Blue and it looks great.
You dont have to do anything to the old phone. Every time I switch I just add eSIM and off I go. I truly didn’t want to be in this predicament so I am trying to sell the 15 pro. We shall see.
I prefer the 15 pro max caseless with just a screen protector. I use a case in certain instances but not very often. The pro is also very nice and good size but the battery life is so so bad for how much I use my phone.
Makes sense but you should have no problem moving the 15 Pro. Should even be able to recoup most of the costs too. They have high resale value.
I sometimes go caseless too with my screen protector on my Pro. If I had the max, I'd like to do caseless too with screen protector with occasional case usage for certain situations. I love the pro and the battery life is great for me but would love to experience the battery life on a max phone though. I do love the size of my pro though. I am glad it does have a slightly bigger battery than the 13 pro I came from.
