I wonder how many of the 209 people / 31.4% (and counting?) in the poll are now getting natural titanium, or did anyone switch to get a launch day delivery (I did, to white. I updated my poll answer)

Upgrading from my launch day 11 pro max in midnight green. I was holding out until they did another pro max in green but the battery health isn’t great and I’d quite like the zoom upgrade for my upcoming concerts. Opted for white titanium for a change from space greys and blacks in the past. Hopefully, the titanium will hold up the best due to the lack of colouring etc.

I didn't know if I wanted the blue or natural titanium in all honesty. I went to place an order for the natural titanium and couldn't get it for pick up relsease day so switched to blue so all worked out well still.

I switched to white but still delayed delivery due to issues on getting on store.

I was leaning towards Natural but it looked too beige for my taste. So decided to go for White as that will show the least marks and dust.

I too need a Usb-A to USB-C cable for car play, there was an interesting article on 9to5 Mac. I was unaware but some cables are power only, so make sure you get one that carries data too.

If you guys still haven't been able to confirm a launch day delivery, you can still order the 15 pro on Argos and guarantee launch day delivery. However a lot of the colours have ran out, I think black is available atm and blue

You can also buy from box.co.uk too. I cancelled my Apple order and purchased from Argos since Apple was gonna deliver in October

I wouldn’t say it’s guaranteed launch day. Previous years Argos have let people down.

I've been using one for 3 years, they work without issue. I have CarLink Kit 2 although the newest is 5.

I have two, so I can take one on holiday if we hire a car!

I’ve got the 4, it’s also been pretty good. Slight lag, but not a show stopper.

Had a panic today after reading this thread! ordered through EE yesterday at 12:56 got an email to call with an xko number called them accepted the ts&cs they texted the link to and got a text confirming my order but no 03 order number, called them today and they’ve got the order the advisor quoted the order without asking what I’d ordered or the xko number and said it’d be delivered on launch day.

Had the fear there but all seems well, just gotta have faith I get a notification on the DPD app on Thursday😰

Me too. Was going to order a Caudabe but on their website it says they are releasing an updated case for the action button so am holding off for now.

I would say so as the description mentions sync data. Would suggest most 'branded' cables do both, but a lot of the ones listed on amazon may not.

Idk, Argos has been very reliable for me in the past

They should all do usb2 data at a minimum.

If it’s cheap, it won’t do faster than that. I just ordered this one. 2m, 100W charging speed, 10Gbps transfer rate.

How does the MM Kiosk work? I have one a mile away, and they've given me a good quote on my 13 Pro. Is it a manned service?

I’ve just bought this, only £5.50 for 2 3ft Anker cables

I only need one for CarPlay which I’d completely forgotten about until it’s been mentioned in this thread

Deal: Anker USB C Cable, [2 pack, 3ft] 310 USB A to USB C Charger Cable, USB A to Type C Charger Cable Fast Charging for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Note 9/S10+ S10, LG V30 (USB 2.0, Black) https://amzn.eu/d/d41fmui

I bought some usb-a to usb-c cables by Anker from Amazon. theyve worked without any problems on my iPad.
I propose to use one with an original 5W charger for my new phone (when it eventually arrives)

I’ve decided to go for an Anker set up this time round too. Was using an Amazon basics double headed usb wall plug before

Remotely manned. Cameras inside that view the phone from all angles.

I was just going off this line in the article:
"The tricky part about planning ahead in this situation is that not all USB-A to USB-C cables support data transfer."

When confirming my saved £800 MM order they wanted to put it form to £670 for kiosk but still offered me three £800 for RM, so I’ve gone with that and risk it I think

Please keep me updated if they do payout £800 😇 thanks
