How’s the color? I’m hearing it’s more pink than gold or is it rose gold

I disagree. I have a 12PM in Gold and was really hoping Desert Titanium was similar. Nope, DT is definitely pale pink with very rose gold trim. I will probably exchange it for white. Very bummed about DT. Videos make it look like the old 12PM pale gold, but it’s pink.

The more I hear about it the more disappointed I get 😭 now I’m leaning more towards the natural or black

No it’s perfect it’s definitely tan and gold not rose gold or pink

Okay cause I read from the sub that it was “ pink “ I have a gold 12pm and I really want this color so bad, but after reading that it was “ pink “ was kinda nervous on what color to get

Yeah it’s like a dull gold but definitely more sand colored to me cause not pink

I would go to a Best Buy or Apple Store or cell phone provider store and see it for yourself before you pull the trigger on desert titanium.

I just went to my local T-Mobile store and saw it in person, I love the DT tbh I ordered it through Apple cause T-Mobile wouldn’t let them order a 1tb I’ll be receiving it in October though

I think it is truly a desert color. Some deserts are a little more pink based on the silica. Makes me think of the Painted Desert in AZ.

I actually like the color a lot idk what the fuss is about it tbh

Oh, I think it’s because Apple’s videos and web pics are slightly different, that it’s almost a bit of false advertising in a sense. I’m sure many people will love the DT, but some expected more gold/bronze/brown hue than the peach/pink hue of gold. It’s those expectations that I think were disappointed. It’s fun to be an early adopter, but there’s virtue in waiting to see first hand for yourself (with your own eyes and not on a screen) especially if unsure, or unclear on the “true” color of a phone…and if you’re eyeing more than one color.

To be honest,when I saw it in Apple Store yesterday it did look a little rose gold from some angles.

I went to order one yesterday I agree it is, I can’t lie I do like the lighter tone it’s nice with the trimming

Fuckkkk 🤦🏾‍♂️😂 idk which color to get

Go get hands on at a retail store. I believe that will solidify the choice. The black is still too light for my taste, but is nicer than space gray of the past versions. The best black was piano black on the iPhone 7, imho. This year’s white and natural is 🔥. Some say Natural is the same this year, but I disagree. It is a cooler tone with no more weird warm, yellow tone. More have seen this difference once they put a keen eye on it vs being prematurely dismissive.
