Well as a part of wave 1 in the opening day shipments it sat in that phase for about a full 2 days then it went to Korea/Anchorage and Louisville. So this 3rd wave is still part of preorder batches even though not part of opening day, so I am imagining there still are a lot of phones and thus I would guess by Monday you will see it leaving China.
Thanks delivery on MyChoice still shows Wednesday.

Keep hope alive!

In my quest to see improvements in colors with sunrise/set times I am seeing better colors with iphone ProMax 14 so while not a high end sunrise there were colors in clouds and such and colors are darn close to what my eye sees which is exciting for me no more fiddling with 20 shots to adjust focus, sensors ect to capture a 10 minute window of perfect sunrise/set colors. Here are shots for your enjoyment this am:

While outside with still dimmer conditions taking sunrise cloud/sky shots, took a few of my wife’s flower beds for hummingbirds and house. Impressive photos I also did a 48 megapixel which i cannot share here and it was good of this scene. Still learning what to do now that I can capture 48 megapixel raw images though LOL

Kudo's to your wife! I find sunrise/sunset photography to be best half hour before or after occurrence.

@rjjacobson did you get a chance to try macro mode or 48MP shots yesterday? your other photography looked great Mr. Birdman, Mr Squirrel Man - and Mr. Paleontologist! Have to stick with other -ologists.
Yes I have taken several 48 megapixel shots once I learned where to set it was still learning about the features of phone and iOS 16 and have along way to go. I cannot share the 48 megapixel shots here unfortunately but yeah when I zoom in the quality is amazing. Since never shot in high rest raw much (since I did not know what to do with it and only have apple photos gave up on Adobe pirate costs of their software) I have to now learn what to use it for LOL besides getting a large file sized nice image. Need a use of 48 megapixels raw for dummies book LOL

I think the default photos with 12 megapixel (which uses the 48 combining 4 megapixels into one is better subjective wise than from my 13 ProMax I read this for most although there are some picky skeptics I am seeing on @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗 ’s new photo thread for most part I like it and do not regret it (wonder if some of those are trolls as negative as they are LOL)

TL;DR This is the first time I’ve ever said I hated an iPhone and I’m really thinking about going back to my 13PM.
View attachment 2070557
My first day with the 14PM was an adventure. Launch day, I noticed that the network service is noticeably worse than the 13PM. Figured the network was congested. I had 5Ge and data and I couldn’t even send iMessages.

Then, Saturday morning, I had a 1.5 road trip. I had some stops to make prior, and that’s when I noticed that the GPS wasn’t functioning properly. Siri was telling me to turn 3 different directions at once and my overall location was maybe 10 miles off. Tried Google Maps same thing. Later found out about the 16.1 beta GPS bug. Side note: It works fine when using CarPlay.

Battery was down from 100% at 7am to 35% by 1pm. Likely because of GPS and all the network drops and data is probably still downloading in the background.

I also have to carry a microfiber cloth. I constantly find myself cleaning the dynamic island area. Then message tones weren’t working, even after confirming that it’s set up exactly like my 13PM.

Now that my frustration has settled, I’m going to keep it because I like more things than I hate. I’ll be carrying both phones because this one is unreliable right now.
To be honest, I don't think I've ever seen a better picture of Krispy Kreme.
