      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.

      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.

      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 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’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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Sigh. I’ve got a 14 pro max and there is absolutely no reason to upgrade any time soon, but I want usb c.

        Yeah I’ll wait until I dunno 16 or 17. Even that feels too soon with how long iPhones seem to last. Might even wait until some other big change comes along.

    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.

    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.

      You should definitely be able to play with the display models, but their stock for purchase is going to be extremely limited.

      Looking at this sketchy ass site https://iphonechecker.herokuapp.com/ for example, the stores near me had only 512GB Blue versions in stock and now I’m not seeing any stock within 100 miles of me.

        yea I was using the display models. It’s not a bad phone but nothing convinces me to upgrade yet. I’m thinking next year will be the one. Especially considering XS max at the bottom of eligible phones for upgrade this year ha.

        yea those third party sites aren’t reliable. The store I went to had a line out the wazoo just for pickup orders. A rep said they had no phones for people to buy.

          A few years ago (around the time of the XS) iStockNow was a good site to check availability. I remember using that to get my 8, my XS, and I think my AirPods. But that site died a while back.

          You’re probably good with the XS still if it is working for you. Save your money.
