Thank you! I baby my iPhones. I take very good care of them.

@ratspg is 100% right. No case. Caseless Team!

I normally use a case, but for some reason, I am liking this phone caseless right now. I'm like you, I baby my iPhones, too.

The iPhone is too pretty. Nothing against cases. I like them. Great for protection. But please let me feel that stainless steel, that glass. Keep it original, It's the best feeling ever. Premium prices, premuim feel.

Yes sir . Feel the iPhone!

Not going to lie. This AOD is kinda cool. It's going to take some time to get used to it.

Everytime I look at my iPhone I feel like I need to turn it off. It's creepy, hahah!

I really like it just hope it doesn't suck that battery dry! I like looking down to see if I got any new email or messages... the widgets are amazing too. We will have to see battery life the next we days. My batter life on my 13 Pro sucked! I had to charge like 2-3/daily!

Just my tribute to folks thanking the thread, and saying see you next year. Already looking in the rear view mirror, so to speak.

Question for New Purple iPhone owners.....
How many will go caseless?

I bought a leather Ink case which I always do get the leather, but today I got a clear case recommended earlier in this thread and I really like it. I don’t risk things by going bare.

I keep pushing the button to turn it off.. need to break that habit! lol. I don’t know how you did it, I crashed and just slept for hours after no sleep last night waiting for my phone to hit town!

anyone experiencing issues with GPS on their new phone? I can’t get accurate directions while driving on Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps … I’ve done some troubleshooting without success… so weird

 

[Laryl]

So this was the roughest upgrade I’ve done. I traded my 13 Pro in at the Apple Store, tried to set up the 14 Pro, and it couldn’t connect to T-Mobile because it needed to send the code to my 13 Pro, which was already deleted. I wound up having to drive to a T-Mobile location to get them to transfer my number over. They said I was the 5th person to come in with the issue.

Now that it’s working, I am enjoying the phone quite a bit though.

Happened to me too. I’ve never had an issue, always sailed through setup but this time it was just a glitch that turned my 13 to no carrier sos mode. Pick up at the CC for the win, I got my phone at 9am and was up and running with just that short delay. I wondered how many others would get stuck, glad you got it fixed!

 

[Laryl]

So sorry for you guys who have waited all week and then not gotten your phones today. I feel for you

This.. for those of you still waiting, hope you get yours soon!! ❤️

UPS left my iPhone 14 Pro Max outside the Postal Office where my POBOX is, I really doubt it, I think that the driver stole it.

When I found out that UPS would deliver, I reported yesterday to an Apple specialist, to held at a carrier hub, but they still put him on the delivery truck.

They told me to wait a day for the result of the investigation. I feel very frustrated and mad, sorry about my bad grammar but english is not my first language.

I'll wait all weekend, has anyone had something similar?

Sorry to hear this. I didn’t think UPS even delivered to PO Boxes. Hopefully you will hear back very soon and this will be resolved. The package may have been returned to the UPS if they could not deliver — you may want to call them back and arrange to pick up if possible.

I would be frustrated too. I remember once my MacBook was attempted but not delivered, so I drove to the UPS office around closing time when the drivers had returned so I could pick it up myself.

On a side note, your grammar and English looks good!

Was about to ask where this is before I realized, of course, it's in your username. Nice

Very few differences from my 13 Pro so far, but I’m liking the island a lot, the deep purple, and I’m like AOD more than I thought I would. I thought I’d turn it off, but right now, I enjoy it!

So far, the dynamic island happens less often than I was expecting too. I wonder how much it’ll get used for me.

Given that developers (and even many internal Apple employees) had no clue about the Dynamic Island, I think we will see many app updates in the coming months that will utilize it. And given the seemingly flexible stance that Apple has around it, we should see some pretty creative things.

Just got home from work and finally got my phone. It was a long evening knowing that it had been delivered and I was stuck working.

Same here. My iPhone was delivered around 7pm at my home. I was supposed to get off work at 7pm but nobody showed up until 7:30 so I got home around 8pm. It's now 2:30 in the morning and I've been playing with my phone setting up everything like new.

Loving my purple 14 Pro Max so far!

Loving mine, too, even though I set it up from a back up. Very snappy. Definitely loving the purple. Was convinced that it was gray in the living room, but coming into my bedroom, I do see the purple now. Really neat.

Just got my phone. i wish Apple was more clear on requirements and whats needed when transferring devices. i had sold my old phone 2 days ago fyi. i backed it up and thought i was prepared for an easy process.

At the apple store today i attempted a restore of my icloud to the new phone. First roadblock was that it required 2 factor authentication to set up the phone. I didn't have my old phone, and don't have a computer or device that could authenticate. The option was a text and that was it. No one at apple could help, and they suggested I call Apple tech support. They let me use a phone and I called them. This was a joke. The gal on the phone didn't truly understand the issue, and kept suggesting I just pop my old sim into the new phone. I kindly suggested back to her that wasn't an option on the 14 and had to inform her no physical sim tray existed.

I left Apple a bit flustered, and headed to Verizon. This is where I hit another roadblock. They were happy to help transfer my SIM to an eSIM in store but had to verify my account by texting me. I explained I didn't have a phone to do this and they wouldn't allow me to put my physical sim into a device there to get the text for security reasons. They did suggest to send the verification text to someone else on my plan, and this worked and they were able to successfully transfer to eSIM. From there it was fairly normal and my phone continued the transfer.

I am not sure if I was in an extreme minority of customers that don't have the old device to get through these 2FA things, but glad it worked in the end. I just think Apple, and carriers should be more direct with customers upgrading to any phone from a physical to eSIM to make it easier.

Sounds like you had a frustrating experience. This is a perfect example of why I only trade in directly to Apple when I upgrade — this gives me time to transfer to the new phone with less hassles.

It hs been a great cray journey. Thank you all!! Especialy @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗
Kudos to @Brad7 @Shh @Wolfs

You guys amassing. Good nighi!

I apologize if I missed anyone🙏

For those with 9/28 to 10/3 delivery dates, progress has been made and my iPhone 14 Pro Max 256 has shipped. I was ready to order at 5am, but the Apple site did not load until after 5:15am, so I missed the 9/16 delivery date. Apple says it will be delivered on Monday 9/26, but UPS says Thursday 9/22. Much better than 9/28 to 10/3. Fingers crossed.

Question for New Purple iPhone owners.....

I always go naked and this Deep Purple will be no different. How else can one truly appreciate the feel of the stainless steel and glass, and of course the color?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Not going to lie. The new iPhone 14 in Product Red is fire. We seriously need this color in the Pro lineup.
