First iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Orders Arriving to Customers in Australia and New Zealand

[Lifeisabeach]

Apple is one of the richest companies on the planet. If they want consumers to trust them, the right thing after battery gate would be offering FREE battery replacements for all affected iPhone 14 users. Of course they first have to develop a better battery.

I vaguely... no. Distinctly. Very distinctly recall Apple doing this exactly for the iPhone 6s models. Give it some time. They can't just snap their fingers and make it happen. They have to be extremely sure of what the problem is; correct the problem; then make enough new batteries to meet the replacement need.

In the meanwhile, I plan on enjoying my iP15Pro and if/when the battery problem rears its head on these models also, I'll take comfort knowing Apple should already be on the matter and can expect a free new battery in a year or so from now.

Woah, people in time zones ahead of us are getting packages they ordered?

Mind. Blown.

I‘m a bit pissed. FedEx just texted me that they are delivery my phone tomorrow, not today. Doesn’t Apple pay them for ’first day’ delivery?

That natural Ti looks so very pretty, my goodness! I know I'm going to love my Titanium Blue but if there was no blue color this year I'd have gone Natural for sure. Excellent finish.

*shrug* Maybe the truck carrying yours broke down. Maybe they had too many driver call-outs. Or the package got stuck inside some sorting machine that takes 24 hours to disassemble. Perhaps the delivery team assigned to your iPhone got re-routed to transport a kidney. It's disappointing, I know, but things happen.

Wouhou! Mine just showed up in Ontario. 🙂

That's the reason I got the 256gb - I will be filming quite a lot, can't wait! I use filmic Pro, is there any app you recommend?

Nothing on top my head now but once I remember I’ll let you know!

My delivery window went from Oct 3rd/6th - to now delivery on Monday the 25th. Not bad!

No point.

Apple beat their delivery estimate again this year. Just like they did last year when I got the Apple Watch Ultra, the iPhone 15 Pro Max arrived on Saturday morning instead of on Monday as originally forecasted.

So I still didn't get it on launch day here in NZ, but one day later isn't too bad… especially since I live way out in the backblocks.

Currently doing a device-to-device transfer from my venerable iPhone 12 Pro Max. It isn't going very smoothly so far.

I know I’m going to prefer the stainless steel, especially because it offers more grip to a human hand, but could you tell us how much grip the titanium has? Is it at least more grippy than the buttery-smooth aluminum phones?

It's more grippy than stainless steel

Tassie is part of Australia???

Look - I am no expert. I'm from New Zealand and can only go on what I am told, but the general consensus is that they believe that Tassie is part of Australia (I'm obviously sceptical, though).

In Singapore here… Est. delivery for my pro max when I preordered was 7-15 November. Just got notified it’ll be arriving tomorrow via dhl. That’s over a month early!

Question please.

I personally LOVE Quad Lock and have used their stuff for my Motorcycle for many years. However, last year with the iPhone 14 Pro Max I upgraded to the then new MAG version of the case. I loved how it looked and how it felt in my hand and pocket.

I did find that it was a bit tighter than expected on the tradition style mount (for my Bike).

But, my biggest issue was that while the case did work with the Apple MagSafe charge it did not do so reliably and I would often wake in the morning with a phone that had not fully charged overnight.


Do you use Apple's MagSafe charger with this? And, if so what have your experiences been so far with this phone and case? Worst case I will continue with Quad Lock using the older style case when riding and something else when not. But, I would much rather have this case so I can just keep the phone in it all the time (or most of the time).

Thank you...
