In the reservation queue at Regent Street, nobody checking times so seemed pointlessly really. This queue is very long, maybe 80 plus people (and no idea what it’s like once we get indoors) but apparently moving fast as people say 20 minutesView attachment 860881

I can’t believe people are STILL queuing for iPhones these days?!

There was zero queue last year at my local Apple Store when the XS models were released....
 
Well picking up at the Trafford Centre was really poor for me. Arrived 5 mins before the slot and only got served 5 minutes after the slot. 6-6.30.

Not pleased at having to wait 40 minutes to pickup something I had already paid for.

Home delivery next time never again

I’ve done a direct transfer from my X to my Pro but my special activity badges are currently missing, though all my activity data is in the app, anyone else missing their special badges?

Or is it just taking a while for activity data to index?

If the XR released at the same time as the XS/Max I think there would have been queues last year too. Two models and two different target audiences this year with the traditional model and the Pro model released on the same day.

first thoughts coming from an X to an 11 Pro Max:

  • it's massive, and heavy - I'm going to have to reorganise my jeans pockets so it'll fit (creature of habit)
  • new Pro green feels very classy & a nice change from my default monochromatic choices
  • screen is beautiful, bright & clear - text looks almost "3D"
  • keyboard is much bigger & easier on my old man eyes
  • Apple Clear Case is likely going back as it's so slippery compared to recent leather cases eg: can't rest phone on leg of my jeans for 5-secs (but otherwise great)
  • camera is amazing - I didn't have the f-stop thing on my X, combined with the new white out Portrait effect it's fantastic
Same for me except got IP11. Do like size of the IPP max though.
 
Came form an iPhone X myself and honestly the screen is a lot lot better than I expected it to be, Ive had my X and the 11 next to each other’s and I couldn’t obviously see any difference at all

I've come to an 11 128gb from an XS, and you'd have to have better eyesight than me to see major differences in the screen. Form factor is great for me, and the camera is excellent. Really impressive release.

Now, if only I could download watch OS6, I'd be happy!

‘I update to watch os6 no issues. But I can’t tell what’s new..
 
Picked up my iPhone 11 Pro in gold today, love the colour - I was worried it would be too yellowy, but it’s really not! It’s a lovely pearl colour ☺️

Mine are missing too. Did a direct transfer at around 3 today. A restart has not helped. Hoping they sync over.
 
Can’t believe how this thread has died!!
What’s the long timers thoughts?

I'll be honest am struggling with wine and unexpected sunshine this evening 🌞🥂 😌. I've not even set up yet!!

I was surprised at the queue in Edinburgh (and quite a few reserving slots for later) but then again I wasn't planning to upgrade this year and was swayed by the camera upgrades. That said I asked about swapping for a 256 11 pro in MG and there were none available and really when I glanced at the assistants console most pros on the list were not available.

That’ll be the new “tougher” glass
On a serious note, this is just physics. To make the glass scratch resistant, they harden it. The downside is that hard objects are prone to shattering with impact, whilst a slightly softer item will absorb some of the impact and survive.

I had a Rado ceramic watch before my Apple Watch, and the big thing you needed to be careful of was dropping them on hard surfaces. After years of daily wear mine still looked perfect, but you would occasionally hear horror stories of someone dropping their watch whilst putting it on and the watch completely shattering.

I have both an Xs and an XR and struggle to see any real differences either.

Calculator, new faces, noise meter are three I’ve noticed.
 
Loving the Midnight green colour and really glad I went for the Max, it’s nice going back to a bigger phone again from the X.

Had the Apple Clear Case but that is seriously slippery so that’s going back. Now rocking the Forest Green Apple Leather which i’d ordered also and going to stick with this.
