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’s possible as long as the carriers and local laws allow it.

In most countries, SIM cloning is illegal.

This type of post happens every year.

Always pick silver/white or natural in this case. Even Tim Cook showed off his natural choice during an interview.

Black is boring. Lacks contrast and you can't see the rear cameras. The other "color of year" choices always end with regret. Hardly anybody is still proud of their military green iPhone 11 or blue iPhone 12.

I liked the Pacific Blue on the 12 Pro. I didn't get it though since I didn't upgrade that year but I love my Titanium Blue :) Natural was my 2nd choice. I waited a long time for a dark blue color. I like black/space grey too BUT getting it more often than not is boring. I did rock silver one year too on the X and it was classy.

That's what I thought too. So you would have to remove the old eSIM profile from the other phone when you want to switch back n forth like you would a physical sim. How do you manage, isn't it a pain to go back n forth between your two phones then?

Color remorse?
When I bought my first "smart phone" 2.5 years ago, the color was of utmost important to me.
As was a case to protect it with.
It wasn't until I put it in the case that I realized of how little importance the color of the phone was. :p

There’s iOS to iOS eSIM Quick Transfer with select carriers like Verizon and AT&T (postpaid). Super easy to do.

Not sure about prepaid or T-Mobile.

It’s no different than driving two different cars. And iCloud keeps everything updated between the two.

I kinda admire your indulgence here. The technology that allows you to switch back and forth is cool. And, as an investor I wish everyone would buy two iPhones.

But, the cost vs benefit of this seems dubious. I can’t think of a scenario where having two phones with the same number could be useful. It just seems wasteful.

Never. I can't understand how anyone puts so much emphasis of the back of a smartphone that they'd regret their decision & return the thing...

Ludicrous stuff.

There are times where I want a large phone and times where I want a smaller phone.

I got black, but I wish I got the natural titanium. From the press photos I didn't like it, and I still don't think they look good in photos, but in person, I really like how the natural looks.

When the 15's came out, I didn't have the Apple Watch Ultra. But now that I do, I love the color, and had I had it so I could compare to the 15 Pro, I would have gotten the natural. But I won't even consider trading it in, I don't dislike the black. I'll just pick something more interesting next time I upgrade.

Blue has always been my favorite color and I don't regret getting it. I even got a blue-ish clear phone case. The whole Titanium thing really doesn't mean that much to me.

I don’t regret getting natural but I use a case anyway. My kid, however, definitely loves her pink 15.

I have a blue 15 pro, but wish I’d got the natural titanium one. Unfortunately it wasn’t available when I bought mine, and since I’ve always had black or space grey iPhones, I decided to do something a bit different this time. It’s not a big deal since I almost never see the back of my phone anyway.

I will think that if you like both Blue Ti and Natural Ti then maybe just maybe you will regret getting the Natural Ti wanting the Blue Ti once again once you have it...

Keep it the Blue Ti it is such a nice phone ;)

I was excited to get the blue titanium 15 pro when it came out as blue is my favorite color. But now natural titanium and how beautiful it is, I’m starting to have some remorse that I didn’t get Nat Ti. I’m on the iUP so unless I pay off the blue, I’m pretty much in limbo. Would it be crazy to get the natural Ti and pay off the iUP and sell the blue?
15 Pro Max didn't have too many color choices, Gold is always my favorite color, but this time they replaced it with Natural titanium color, which more looked like brushed aluminum. So I went for Titanium Blue and I love this color. Now unless apple releases some new color for 15 PM in march (just like the way they did with 13 PM by releasing Green color) I love my titanium blue and I wouldn't regret a bit when I compare it with Natural titanium

Very happy with my White Ti :D
It looks great with every case I put on it.

No colour regret here, happy to stick to white with the next couple of iPhones I get.
I went back and purchased the white max. Loving it! Natural and black were way too boring. White is diff and pops. I’m enjoying it

I opted for the blue pro . My next choice from that would be black . I'm lucky enough to have an apple store close by so compared them all. Ive always gone for white because of the natural unpainted metals but this time fancy a darker colour for a change. I always use a case and screen protector from day one.

I like the blue. It reminds me of the regal blue that British Airways use. I like flying too! lol
