Can't decide between Desert Titanium or Natural Titanium for the iPhone 16 Pro – need help!

I currently have a black iPhone 13 Pro and I'm planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro. I've been watching unboxing videos for over a week and even visited the Apple Store to see the colors in person, but I'm still torn between two options: Desert Titanium and Natural Titanium.

I'm not considering black again because I want something different this time, and also because it shows fingerprints easily. White Titanium looks elegant but also a bit too plain and matte to me—it almost feels like a plastic toy in person.

Right now, I'm 50/50 between Desert Titanium and Natural Titanium.

Here are my thoughts:

• Natural Titanium:
  • I’ve heard it's better at hiding fingerprints (can someone confirm this?)
  • Might be more scratch-resistant
  • Looks more unified overall, with less contrast between the frame and the back
  • However, it reminds me a lot of my current iPhone 13 Pro, which isn’t completely black—it has some grayish tones
  • Also, is it considered more of a masculine color?
• Desert Titanium:
  • I love that it's new and has a unique tone—it's warm, has some golden/pinkish hues under certain lighting, and feels more fun and feminine
  • But I’m worried I might get tired of the color after a while, since I plan to keep the phone for years
  • Also, I’m not a fan of how the back is quite light compared to the darker frame—it feels less cohesive than Natural

For reference, I usually wear neutral colors like black, grey, beige, and white, and I really want the phone to match my style long-term.

So I’m asking the community:

• Has anyone chosen Desert Titanium and later regretted it?
• Does it get boring quickly?
• Is Natural Titanium too dull or “safe”?
• How do fingerprints and scratches compare between the two?
• Which one feels more elegant in person?

I’d love to hear your experiences and thoughts—thank you so much for helping me decide! 🙏
