I love the flat edge, makes the screen seem endless

Spot on!!! Apple leather case looks and feels so good on the phone, also a shame to cover up that beautiful pacific blue frame. Oh well guess you can’t have it both ways. 🤔😂

glad I returned the 12 and waited for the pro max.

My pacific blue 512 GB arrived at 2:09pm.
I usually get caught out by having upgraded iOS before a new iPhone arrives, but I held off this year, so the restore process was quick. It’s still downloading messages, photos, apps, etc, but I was up and running in around 15 minutes.

I love the size, just a little wider and a little taller than my XS Max.

Mine had 14.1

taking forever to restore from my backup ............
Mine ended up failing to restore from the backup. Now it's been sitting at about 2 minutes for the last 10mins using the direct transfer method.

I have to say that Telstra were pretty easy to deal with and I was surprised that I got one on release day, seeing as I only preordered instore on Tues/Wed of this week.

So far the phone seems really solid, I'm digging the form factor as well, it's like a bigger, more solid iphone 5. The pacific blue is really nicely understated too.
 
Got my Pro Max today and really enjoying it. Did the transfer with my iPad Pro and it took a couple of minutes with no hiccups. Not fussed by the size at all tbh. Even with a glass screen protector and silicone case it still sits perfectly in my hand.

How much bigger does the Apple larger case make it feel?

Honestly the leather case is pretty slim and light, hardly feels any different with it on, was worried the leather case might not have enough grip, it feels really nice and grippy in the hand.

It’s a bit hard to get off the first few time, has a nice snug fit.

So far the apple leather case looks like a winner.

Thanks. I was gonna try it but the blue is on backorder for a while so I'm got with the clear Magsafe case even though I'm not using that charger.
