I did the same lol. But, this morning, I see two very tiny dust particles, and I know that with my OCD, they’re going to drive me crazy. Too late to lift the protector up to remove them I think. 😩
Oh I know what that’s like. I got the ESR tempered glass that comes with 3. The first application went perfect only for some odd reason - even though I didn’t touch the inside of the screen protector there was a fingerprint mark on the underside and I was all confused. So I had to take it off and reapply a new one which went perfectly. So weird but I’m glad I had extras!

From my experience you shouldnt worry about the stainless steel in any phone case unless you have the silver pro or if you have grains of sand in your phone case somehow. Tighter more fit cases are better if you dont want your stainless steel band to scratch, less chances of debris getting in. Obvs ymmv , but from my experience, with the x and 11 pro I havent scratched the band, and all I used were tight/fit cases.
From my experience it did scratch the stainless steel on the 12 Pro Pacific blue, it clearly was not there before, but I ended up returning the 12 Pro for the 12 Pro Max.

I know that there is a thread for 5G speeds somewhere, but I did a test for LTE/5Ge, 5G and WiFi. While the 5G was faster, I’m not risking battery draining faster and will continue with LTE/5Ge until Apple pushes out an update for better battery management under 5G.

I love the ESR screen protector especially now with the flat edges and screen, full coverage/full screen screen protectors are the way to go. It looks like I don’t even have a screen protector on, which I love! However did you notice they hiked the price up? I bought the screen protector like 2 weeks earlier for like $11 now they’re like $18!! Glad I bought mine early lol.

It's gonna be a rough decision for me because I'm quickly being reminded of why I gave up on my iPhone 7 Plus back in the day. I have small hands and I always had to use two hands to text with that phone because I was always worried about dropping the phone if I tried to text with just one hand. My 12 Pro Max is quickly reminding me of those days.

However..... I love silver phones and I have always chosen this color since who knows when. I wasn't able to find a good, white translucent colored case on Amazon that I liked or wasn't too expensive. So I had to settle for a black case on my 12 Pro which I was bummed about but oh well. But I found the perfect case for my 12 Pro Max that I'm liking a lot. This silly reason alone might just push me in to keeping my 12 Pro Max. Better battery? Better camera? Better screen? Those reasons aren't enough for me. But having the right case? That could be the reason! lol
Can you post a link to the case? I like it!
 
OMG!!! It’s finally here! I was waiting for your post friend. It looks stunning beautiful. You are going to love it. Hoping to be traveling with you again next year and hope I don’t miss the plane. I was so bummed out when you took off from KY and I was on my way from AK😭😭! At the end it did worked out great. Enjoy your phone. Stay in touch.

Congratulations once again!!!! 😍

Here is my beautiful Pacific Blue 12 Pro Max I am in love with this thing! And I am SO happy to finally have an iPhone with my favorite color - blue! I wasn’t originally going to upgrade as I had the 11 Pro Max and I was perfectly happy with it, but my coworker convinced me to and one of the main reasons why I did was for the color (silly, I know), but this was originally the iPhone I wanted to get when I wanted to switch from my Note 9 back to Apple. With the pandemic, I didn’t think that it would come out this year, so I was impatient and got the 11 Pro Max. In the end, it worked out for me and I’m happy now just like I was when I got my 11 Pro Max

Titanic fan I see. . . Me too. I saw it 13x just in the theater!

Am I the only one that has an obsession with Apple boxes? They have the best packaging and it seems a shame to throw them away....lol

They are trophies to be mounted and shown!

“And this is from an iPhone 4S. The Apple Store guy kept saying the S is for ‘speed’. Quite silly to think about that now. Aha aha ahaaaaa ...”

Yeah, I still have my previous Apple boxes, not just iPhones.

My apple.com delivery says delivered at front door by UPS.. but alas no delivery. Same with an apple watch band delivery. nothing! pissed!

I have front door cams and no UPS guy came at all
Still no iPhone.. I contacted apple and opened claim with UPS. My Apple store has the model I want for in-store pick up this morning but I’m gonna be a little wary ordering phones for delivery in the future. Living off my cellular Apple Watch has been quite the challenge

Did you do anything extra to get Saturday delivery or did it just switched from Monday to Saturday today? I just have a destination scan since 6 AM and it’s in my local ups
First of all, they tried to deliver to my business @ 7:03pm last night. I had a 9am-1pm window and UPS comes @ 11am to deliver daily and did not attempt to deliver it. Came back to pick-up @ 2:15pm and never tried to deliver it. I called and blasted UPS because it is supposed to be delivered to a business by 5. They took it upon themselves to schedule for Saturday. Luckily, I knew my father would be in the office to receive it.

I think the mini is the star of the show - perfect for running and being out and about, with the Pro Max an almost iPad Pro Replacement now. I was also able to perfectly align the magsafe charger in my desk grommet, no unsightly wires floating around now.
