My iPhone 14 Pro Max MagSafe case date has gotten moved up for delivery tomorrow! Wallet is already here
Thinnk you made a good choice for you.
The Ultra seems different enough -- if you've had Apple Watches before -- that if you try it, you'll get a sense if you like it more. If not, you likely will know you'll like any of the other S8s and can return the Ultra for one of those.
While if you only try the S8 now when you're still enthused about the Ultra, you'll never know.
I'm not really sure, I've only done it one time and just followed their instructions.
I clicked that link under the black box in your screenshot, that "Activate your SIM." The it showed my phone number and a picture of my iPhone 13 Pro Max and said "this phone supports dual sim" or something like that. Then I clicked the phone. It has already been on a physical SIM, so I clicked the option to use eSim instead. Then it had a list of instructions and it included scanning their QR box thing. LOL.
Good for you figuring out what works best for you.Sad message but I think I’m leaving the group for this year.
I visited the Apple Store to try out a Pro Max one last time before pre-ordering tomorrow, and it reminded me why I got so tired of my XS Max, which was smaller than the Pro Maxes. I find it straining and uncomfortable just to swipe right to go back. My hand got fatigued after a couple minutes of one-handed used. Also, Dynamic Island is super cool, but wow, I forgot how tall Pro Max displays were. It’ll be super inconvenient whenever you want to swipe or hold down on it.
I could justify upgrading two years in a row if I had a change in form factor (larger display and battery going from a Pro to Pro Max), but I can’t justify it going from a Pro to a Pro. And I forgot how much I don’t like having to handle a huge phone on a day to day basis.
Enjoy your new phones y’all! You deserve them and will enjoy them more than me.
Was thinking of doing that, too. Thanks for sharing the positive experience.
Did you call, use the app, or get on the website?
...go into an actual store? Nahhh.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I really want the bigger one but not sure I can really deal with how big it is. I had a 12pro but then 13 pro . I like both but everyday use may be better with the pro. Def getting purple. Love the color!
One vote for Apple.
Have had issues in the past with Verizon and AT&T; experience with Apple has always been much better. Specifically the Apple Store app.
I did it on their website. It was a pretty quick process, but I did have to wait a few minutes for the eSim to activate.
IUP, and I have seen no Apple Card charges, either.
Do it!Thank you for the nice message.
Being a short, holiday week doesn't help
And we are back to size mattering again
I should be asking you the same thing! You’re trying to blow up my phone so I would order a new one! 😧
How's the phone after those drops?
And how's the slip factor on that thing? I tried it for like a day or two and thought whoa, slippery. Does it get more grippy or less slippy?
I take good care of my phones and have never hurt a phone in all my years -- it could happen any day. Always used Apple silicone cases, but they don't have white. Was thinking the clear case might let me have my white phone.
Anything in your wisdom to help?
Same here. It's scheduled for delivery on Monday. I will be out of town. Oh well, at least I don't have to sit staring at it all week wishing it wasn't empty 🤪
Right now I have my configuration set to the iPhone 14 Pro Max Deep Purple 512GBs, but I’m thinking about switching to the 1TB... It’s a bit costly though and not sure if I need all of that space.
I'm Verizon too. Order through Apple if you want it automatically unlocked and you don't care for any of the Verizon deals. Not sure if it the same now, but when I ordered through Verizon years ago, it was locked to Verizon. It wasn't a hassle asking Verizon to unlock it but its just an extra step. Plus...in theory..Apple should have more inventory.
The phone is perfectly fine, no damage to it at all. The clear case seems to offer good protection.
I agree, it's a little slippery. It doesn't really feel any different from when I first bought it.
With the case on though, it's a lot less slippery than just the iPhone. I could never go case less. For me, holding the 13 Pro Max naked feels like soap that's gonna slip out of my hand. 😂
No such thing as too much space. If you don't need the space, don't use it. But there is definitely a thing as too little space. You can't fix "too little."
Yeah no case (aka Apple soap) sounds lovely but not at all practical in theory for me.
I love how the Apple silicone cases are grippy enough that the phone will stay when I put it down anywhere. Also like the grip in my hand when carrying.
But then the clear case lets me see the silver and the white: I may just have to give this clear case another go.
Thanks for sharing!
