Are you going to order the new iPhone 14?

I want your guys opinion would 256 GB fits my needs or should I return my 256 Gb for 512 Gb ?

How do I get more storage back ?

Plus for my mom running the 12 pro 128 GB with 6GB left because of WhatsApp should 256 Gb fit ?


I barely film on my phone since I got a vlog camera

I had this dilemma too. I currently have an iPhone 11 Pro Max ( 256 GB) which I have had since 2019. I was only using 88 GB of storage and 50 GB of my iCloud storage ( 200 GB). I do take photos and videos but I have it synced to iCloud so some of my pictures and videos ( 4K) are automatically stored there after I shot them.

I was going to do the 512 but I knew I wasn’t going to use anywhere near that much space. So I stuck with the 256 GB 14 Pro Max. I use my phone mostly for communication ( phone and text), web browsing on the go, social media, video streaming ( Netflix, YouTube etc) and occasional photos and videos. I still use my film gear when I am shooting projects mostly. Though I might shoot more with my 14 pro max just cause the camera is impressive. I will just have some photos and videos be in the cloud.

All that to say, it depends on how you use your phone. If you want to store a lot of photos and video directly on your phone or you store a lot of media ( like songs, movies etc) then the 512 would would be best

Meanwhile . . . The 12:10 am arrivals at facility in ZZ are still there. Will be interesting to see if we're waiting for the "second wave" to catch up before we fly.
Most likely they will fly out. It would be nice and ideal if they wait for the 2nd wave but seems unlikely. They have been waiting for a long time before taking off. I’m sure they are expecting a departure scan today.
 
Good morning everyone! Just caught up with all threads. Today is a very special day. September 11, 2022. It is 5:30 AM in Las Vegas, Nevada, and roughly 68 degrees.

I'm glad to see many of you are still discovering your tracking number. Keep in mind that 2nd wave of shipment is still in place right now and it should end within a few hours or so. If you do not receive your tracking number today then you will be a member of 3rd wave which will be later today. Staying hopeful for everyone. Get your passports ready. We need to leave China before the week starts.

21 years ago from today, it was a different story. The date that changed America and the world 🇺🇸 In memory, posting pictures of The World Trade Center (WTC). The 1st picture below is the North Tower and 2nd picture is the South Tower. September 4, 2022, 04:05 PM, Lower Manhattan, New York.

I’m at LV also!!!
 
I wouldn't be surprised. The leather case for my 14 Pro, as well as pretty much all other Apple accessories I've ever ordered, come from Fusion DC in Pennsylvania. I wouldn't be surprised if the AirPods Pro shipped from there as well.
High chance AirPods will come from USA territory.
 
I can't indulge in all of the tracking updates because I'm doing in-store pickup BUT I am pretty happy with the way things turned out with my order after some initial frustration. When the pre-orders first went live the T-Mobile auth. servers were down so I wasn't able to order using their advertised $1000 trade-in offer, but more stock has since come up for grabs (and those T-Mobile servers are back up) so I was able to order the exact phone I want with the full $1,000 trade-in value for pickup on the 18th.

I still have to fly to another island to get it (lol) but I'm happy knowing I won't have to pull some order-a-second-phone-and-then-return-the-first-one or return/repurchase or wake up at 6AM on launch day and try to reserve a phone nonsense to take advantage of the full trade-in offer. I've cancelled all my frantically-made pickup and shipping backups and now just have one order for my phone. Sweet!

512GB Deep Purple Pro Max and I am SO happy I went with the Deep Purple. Ironically when the color first got unveiled I said I thought I'd get sick of it quickly so I'd steer away, but it actually keeps growing on me. Really excited to see it in person.

Flight to Honolulu for 9AM next Sunday!!! Let's go!
It’ll be nice carrying that 48MP camera with you to hawaii. Are you going to Maui?
 
Good morning and Happy Sunday!

It looks like there are different origin scans for second wave. I got 4:21 scan!! Who is on 421 crew??!

Get your passports ready!! We should be boarding in a few hours!! 🛫View attachment 2057539
Part of 2nd wave member woo hoo! Expect to be on board later today or overnight tonight. I’m hoping we all board together.
