Does the "natural titanium" finish mean there is no colour applied to the base metal? If so this implies an advantage when it comes to scratches. I can't spot any reference anywhere.

The advantage would be (and correct me if I am wrong) any scratches would show the same colour underneath and therefore be far less noticeable; and even be polishable to some extent.
I was going to get a silver iPhone next for this reason
Seems like the natural titanium will be the closest available in this generation but remains to be seen how well scratches can be buffed out
That's fair, you could also polish down the coloured phones once it gets scratched enough and it'll turn into a natural coloured frame
Only Apple can sell titanium as a superior finish when in almost all cases its more malleable and prone to scratches/denting Moreso than stainless steel.
Classic gullible fainboiz.It is lighter i'll grant them that though and the strength to weight ratio is better.
I can't believe people are worried about scratch colour, and talking about buffing scratches out of, a phone. It's a tool.
You gotta keep it nice looking to get top $ when you sell/trade it in for the next new model that is released in 1.5 months time
Wait a couple of weeks for scratch or stain issues to appear on Twitter and reddit?
They’re already popping up
Brings me back to the initial Powerbook G4's with the titanium body and black keyboard.
Pretty sure natural is just bare titanium, the colours are PVD coated.
Not sure what you mean about scratches. Both will scratch about the same but I'd assume that the coloured versions will wear down over time as PVD coatings aren't really too thick but we don't know exactly what the coating material is.
On the flip side the natural titanium will patina and generally turn darker over time. You might like that, you might not.
