Next year, don't do a store pickup. Have it delivered at home or picked up at UPS. So, you don't miss out on the fun. But thank you for being here. It is fun and thrilling.
I’m having flashbacks now of the last time I had it delivered on launch day… being able to see the location of the UPS truck on the app and watching him drive into my neighborhood in the morning… and then leave my neighborhood without delivering, hahaha. It was several hours later that that truck returned and delivered my phone šŸ˜‚ (I might have a little PTSD from watching that truck on the map all day long šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚)
 
It’s going to be the most unproductive week ever
I agree. Last Thursday and Friday were very unproductive. I didn't do anything at work. I didn't even take my breaks. I just sat in my office and watched planes land and take off. To top it off I was glued to this thread. So yeah, hella unproductive work week. I'm just going to close my office door tomorrow. I don't want anyone bothering me at work.

This is why you do a customer care pick-up from the UPS hub. You wake up and get your package first thing in the morning. Don't rely on a UPS delivery driver.

Sorry to ask again, but is there anyone in the iUP doing an in-store pickup that has had the taxes charged to their card? I still haven't had any charges on my card, and I'm not sure if it is because I am doing a pickup. My orders seem to be fine and just tell me to pick them up at 8am. The only reason I'm a bit nervous is that the wrong billing address is listed. An Apple rep said this shouldn't affect the orders at all because they were approved.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but my Apple Card is listed under "Financed by Citizens One."

Hah, I wish I could do that. I’m retail management. That isn’t possible in this line of work.

I worked in the retail sector for a long time. H&M, Nordstrom, Costco you name it… But government jobs are so laid back and chillllll. Hard to get in but it’s worth it in the long run.
 
So what did you end up getting this year?
I bought these for now.


Not sure if I will keep them however. Should have just bought the other Spigen option.

You had a credit card stolen that was to replace another one due to identity theft?! Talk about bad karma.
Yes! We had to have 3 credit cards that week. But the bank immediately put the new card(s) in our Apple Wallets. My husband and I could use Apple Pay right away before we received the physical cards.
 
If you are not getting an Apple Watch Ultra this year. You are missing out. Apple Watch 6/7/8 are all the same. Same design just minimal effects. But AW ultra is something else. It’s different. If you like bigger watches get it. To top it off, it’s freaking Titanium man. Titanium feels very nice in your hands. It’s lightweight, elegant yet premium. All exclusive! Been upgrading my Apple Watch since S3 and never skipped a year. Once I went with expensive titanium models I never looked back.
Some are saying that the titanium is soft and scratches easy. Has that been your experience?
 
Shoot! It is more expensive. Is this one better???

Like I said before, I’ve had the same protector on since I installed it on launch day 2021. I’ve dropped my phone many times on many surfaces. Today in the parking lot in the pouring rain trying to run from Target to my car being the most recent time. Still good.

Yep. And it’ll be available the next day 9/20 šŸ¤£šŸ‘šŸ¼

only thing is that orange. I admit it looks good aesthetically, but definitely not a versatile color to be worn for every occasion. Its almost like they chose that color so they could really drive home that this is for ADVENTURERS

That's why you order yourself with a black band. More elegant and with style.
