May the odds be ever in your favor
Well. Did it work?
he didn’t make it out alive ⚰️
His sacrifice will not go in vain 🫡
Horrible idea. Pro phones sold out instantly. Lots of resellers show up every morning and buy 4 phone per person max, cash! Pro Max models now November shipping.
iPhone 15. Been dying for that USBC. Dynamic Island is what I can’t wait for but I’m going up from a 12 so kinda the whole thing is gonna be amazing lol
I thought this release was going to be the one to push me to upgrade. But I’m holding out for another year.
XS max still going 💪
Same here but with a pro max lol. Going from a base 12 to a 15 pro max is going to be a pretty huge jump for me.
Unfortunately mine won’t be here until next week even though I preordered within 5 minutes of it opening lol.
Got my 15 Pro in blue. My first iPhone since the XS so I’m pretty damn excited! It’s slightly bigger than my XS but feels lighter so I need to get used to it. Took almost half an hour for iCloud transfer and now my new phone is trying to download the many apps I probably wouldn’t use haha
What’s everyone’s favorite MagSafe accessories? I’m interested in Anker’s 3 in 1 cube but it’s not available here in Australia
EDIT: just put on my ESR case and I already miss the naked iPhone feeling. I’m not brave enough to use it caseless though.
I use the MagSafe wallet, and a two in one MagSafe stand with the phone and watch chargers. I love them.
Which MagSafe stand do you use?
I use the OtterBox 2 in 1 stand. https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/2-in-1-charging-station-with-magsafe-white/78-80734.html
Though I don’t remember paying $130 for it.
I got it when the first beta for iOS 17 came out so that I could use standby mode and charge my phone and watch at the same time without having cords everywhere.
My sister got the pro max in blue and it’s shipped. I did black and it says mid October now 😭
Yep. I ordered the blue pro max and it's supposedly arriving mid October. I also live in the middle of nowhere, so it was expected... But now hearing someone else is mid October, I'm kinda annoyed.
Same. Oct 9-16. I preordered and couldn’t get into the store until 36 minutes past.
This morning I see local stock but since I’ve got that damn preorder with a trade in and monthly payment set up I probably can’t cancel without messing everything up. Ugh.
Yea. I’d imagine trying to change anything now would result in a nightmare. I told myself to just be patient lol
I got the same. My UPS guy didn’t deliver it until 6pm, so I got to spend the entire day just waiting.. I looked like that meme of Pablo Escobar in Narcos
Got 15 pro and watch 9. Upgrading from an 11 and no watch. Pretty excited
I'm pretty excited this will be my first Iphone. Going from a pixel 3a, it's been a trooper and still runs fine, but ready to make the jump. Ordered a pro in white.
Pixels are excellent devices, full respect. Hope you like it here, though
Got it all set up last night and so far really happy with it so far. A few things I need to learn but that will just come with using the iPhone but I’ll get there.
I feel that
Waiting on UPS. It’s in Seattle right now. Should get tomorrow afternoon. 15 PM 512gb blue.
The braided cable that ships with the phone is a nice touch. Upgraded from 14 pro to 15 pro so as soon as I put it in the case it’s basically the same phone but slightly lighter.
The silent icon next to the time annoys me but you do need some sort of indicator with the switch being removed.
You can turn that icon off if you’d like. Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Show in status bar.
Picked up the 15 Pro Max in blue today. It is…large.
I bought a 15 Pro (not max) and it is also quite large. Came from a pixel 5 with a 6” screen so I didn’t think it would be that much bigger. Starting to understand the appeal of the mini sizes.
I had the 13 mini before lol so this is quite an adjustment.
I had issues last Friday with the pre-order and didn't think to try through the web. So I couldn't get in my 256GB Pro Max in Natural Titanium pre-order until after 0830 and my delivery date had slipped to Oct 4-9th.
But, I just got an email today saying it shipped and it should be delivered sometime between Sept 26-29th so I'm pumped about that.
I'm in desperate need of a new phone, because my current Note 10 is literally falling apart into pieces, and all of my previous phones were decommissioned, because of battery issues after prolonged use. If money comes by, I'll probably upgrade myself to a 15 Pro
Sigh. I’ve got a 14 pro max and there is absolutely no reason to upgrade any time soon, but I want usb c.

Pre-ordered 15 Pro Max 512 GB Black Titanium and received it today. My Spigen screen protector and case didn't unfortunately make it to me by today, so also had to get temporary cheap screen protector and case. Best features for me coming from 11 Pro Max: USB-C, better cameras in low light and 5G.
I went to the store since I didn’t want to wait until October. I got a 15 pro in black with the base storage. I had a 12 mini previously. I’m still getting used to the size but I’m liking the phone so far.
Got iPhone. Really considering watch. But I have the watch that came out with the iPhone 12. I want to upgrade but haven’t been able to justify it lol.
Is it guaranteed that retail stores will have them in stock, or only select versions? I won't buy but want to know how the "titanium" finish feels in my hand. Seems like Apple will stick with this for another year, and will probably upgrade then.
Guaranteed? No. They’ll have them on display so you could feel them, but likely won’t have many if any to actually buy on launch day. Preorders sold out pretty quickly and started pushing into mid October and early November within a couple of hours of opening up.

A day late, but today was so exciting setting up the new phones. 15 pro in blue to match my watch. I really like the navy blue that looks black until you catch a flash of color. It’s so tiny and light compared to the old 13 Pro
Anyhow, perfect timing - my kid was home from college the first time, so I also set up my old one for him. I hope he takes better care of it than his previous phone - screen was physically damaged enough that Face ID no longer works.
Mine isn’t coming until November, which is crazy but it is what it is.
Bit of a cock-up with the order though which was fun…
Did a preorder on the 22nd before I headed out, set up a trade in and finance via the Apple Store. About 2 hours later I got a text about additional identity checks or whatever, text says you have 90 minutes after clicking the link so I thought that was fine, will sort it when I get home, no luck. Waited on hold for 2:15 the next morning to get through to Barclays finance only to be told you have 90 minutes from the delivery of the text and because I missed the window I had to cancel and re-order, which is a bloody stupid thing.
Got the order cancelled and resubmitted but now I have to wait until November… 7-14th is my window. 😭😭😭
