This iPhone is awesome. Switch from 12 Pro -> 15 Pro Max is incredible. The bezel are so thin, the 120hz are immediately noticeable and the screen is absolutely stunning.
Love the rounded edges and the texture on the titanium is almost invisible. So much nicer to grip even if for me it's really really big.

For now I'm not impressed by the natural titanium, in videos and images it looks like a more warm grey but in person is a cold gray, the back glass and also the titanium frame. Need to understand if in the long term i like the bigger form factor but for now I'm really impressed by this device!

Color depends on lighting, in artificial, warmer light when it's dark out the phone is more like a warm gray. In bright daylight it's a lighter gray. The frame is a match for the AW Ultra. I love the color.

Happy you received your new phone! It's been a ride.

Four days later and 150km after to pick up in person the phone I just have my Pro Max natural titanium. I’m terrified to open it and find some damage like a scratched edges or similar because in that case UPS will never pick up it again 😂😂😂
And don’t forget the dead pixel check 🥶. Also try to switch the true(fake) tone off 👍. Personally, I can’t stand it.
 
The first thing I thought „omg the display is broken, it looks so warm and yellow and not white“ then I remembered it’s this ugly True Tone
Thanks for reminding this. It was the 1st thing to turn off on my 11 Pro and will be the same on the 15 Pro. It is the most useless feature on the iPhone after the mute switch LOL.

BTW Does anyone know when is the next batch of Pros coming to AAPRs? 🥲
 
Live in Prague but was in London on launch day. Unlike all other years I thought I'd try the app this time and got constant errors for 30 mins. When I tried the website, order went through normally but delivery was already Oct 11th - 18th for 15 Pro Max, Natural, 256GB, so still a few weeks to wait. Should have tried the website sooner. After the order I tried the app again and could still see it was having major issues.
 
And shipped!
Just like last time, well within the promised delivery window after missing the initial launch delivery date
 
Mine has the “frame sharpness” problem on the back glass. But even if I use it without a case I keep it. I don’t want to ship the phone back and have the risk of been evaluated ok from Apple. Also my screen is perfect. It’s colder than my iPhone 12 and without dead pixel. So I don’t want to risk to have a perfect back with a not perfect display.

I’d keep it too tbh. You can always hide the “frame sharpness” with a case but not a dead pixel or a non-uniform screen.
My 15PM with a dead pixel is going back to apple on Monday.
Hopefully I will find a 15 or a 15 pro for pick up before my flight but I highly doubt it considering ETA are now in early November 😅..let’s see 🤞

I ordered to Poland, 2 phones:
  • 15 Pro Black 256 on 28/09/2023 with initial delivery on 31 Oct - 8 Nov, but shifted recently to 24 Oct - 31 Oct
  • 15 Pro Max Black 512 on 30/09/2023 with initial delivery on 25 Oct - 2 Nov
Here, Premium resellers do not have stock and say it will be around November or later. Let's see who will get phones quicker, me or them.

You guys at least have a date, i payed for my in full at mediamarkt austria and dont even have a date, and nobody is answering my emails. They just took my money and are radio silent
 
Just got it! The UPS driver almost left me empty handed because he didn’t push the ring button hard enough, twice. Luckily, I heard the engine.
Titanium White lived up to my expectations, looks very clean. On touch the back is velvety smooth as 11 PM’s, nothing beats frosted glass imo.

Wish you all for earlier deliveries!
The white looks stunning 🤩

Same **** in Slovakia, ordered the 15 Pro via one of the biggest eshops and they have no clue when it comes 🙄
 
No update here on the delivery window. Still Nov. 10th-17th. Hopefully by then some of the iOS bugs will have been ironed out.
In the meantime, I’m absolutely loving my Ultra 2 that arrived last week. ❤️

iPhone 15 pro available in all colors and configuration in all Apple store in Rome today! Still no pro maxes in sight tho :/ but I just noticed that delivery times are getting shorter!
 
Anyone order around the 18th of September? What's your ETA? I've placed an order through my company for a 1TB 15 PM so I can't really see expected delivery, but I'm curious.
 
All iPhone 15 Pro's are now in stock at Amazon.de


No Max's yet though.
