Anyone got any updates with Vodafone? I purchased around 1:30pm on preorder day and got email straight away etc, but both devices PM 256 NT, and pro 128 NT, both got updates on the online tracker saying 1-2 weeks 8am-6pm but spoke to the rep and they assured me it will be launch day and was so certain they sent me a text confirming it but online tracker still says 1-2 weeks

For the EE people, the prices seem insane?!

£30 upfront (pro max 256gb) at £85.97 a month x24 = £2070 + annual RPI.

Surely the way to go is Barclays interest free and a SMARTY SIM or similair?

That price does seem ridiculous, I’ve just swapped to EE from O2 and took out their full works plan on sim only, get 20% off so it came to £34.40 a month and includes European, AUS/NZ and US/CAN roaming, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & TNT Sports, the TNT & Xbox extras alone would cost £33 a month. Decided to just get the phone outright this year and probably swap it in again this time next year.

oh I know about the benefits of charging up to 80% SoC and with EVs too (a lot comes down to cost vs efficiency of how more time and energy it takes to get from 80-100% compared to 0-80% SoC)

but my unclear point was if anyone was going to limited themselves to 80% of the battery on their phone... I can't say I've had a phone long enough where they battery health has got anywhere near 80%.. and if it ever did in the 2 years I had apple care, it would be getting a battery replacement.

the reality is I'll have this phone for 11months before the 16 and I'll be using all the battery benefits I'm paying for from the pro max.

if this phone is a 'keeper' for 3 years+ then go for it, especially if you're happy to sacrifice a drop of 20% usage

It’s not 80% to avoid the health dropping to 80%, it’s 80% because above that the SOC will speed up degradation. There are other reasons for the battery to degrade quickly that have more impact though, temperature and speed of charge is a huge (related) reason.

Dunno, my 14 Pro just gets put on (wired) charge overnight every night (with optimised battery charging on) and it's still at 100% health after a year, so I don't think it's a major worry for most people. I do still use an old 5W iPhone charger, mind you (no need for anything more as it's got plenty of time to charge) so the phone never gets hot while charging: I suspect that probably has a lot to do with it.

You suspect right! There is a reason Tesla batteries are so good at holding their range over many years. They’ve completely nailed the battery temperature control problem so that charging and discharging is done at optimal temperatures by being able to cool or heat the battery on demand and limit things until the right temp is achieved. Not something phone makers have much control over, though you will see fast charge speeds limited on some phones when they’re very cold.

The 80% limit is very much a long term health thing.

Spending tracking day in the office is just a buzzkill! Hopefully we’ll all be getting details though in about 6 hours or so!

I’m stuck in the office all day too 💀. I too am hoping we hear something around later morning to early afternoon. I did once have to wait until after 9pm; the most stressful shipment day I’ve had so far 😂

Good luck with tracking and shipment emails. Mine is late second batch due to issues with the store. I am helping Friday morning or Saturday morning when they offer additional stock can get a 15 PM

How does it feel in the hand? I had the clear case for the iPhone 12 and it felt slippier than the naked iPhone 12 itself 😂

Must admit I didn’t spend loads of time holding / touching before putting the new iPhone into it on Friday, but do think it should be ok.

Based on past experience it won’t be as grippy as the silicone cases, but always thought these were so quick to damage (especially in the corners) and I want to show off the new colour in natural titanium when I get it 🤣.

Unless you use olive oil as lotion on your hands you’ll ‘probably’ be fine now ☺️

If you’re a close second it’s not been unheard of that those shipments start going pdf on Friday too.

Keep in mind if you do secure a reservation to cancel orders before they go pfs

Argos status updated (slightly) states Friday...
Click to expand...
Mine updated this morning! If this happens, Argos have been my saviour this year after the catastrophe I had with Apple.

Now what’s the betting they turn up in the five minute window I need to leave home. 😂

I really hope I get a morning delivery slot and an early one at that. It always feel like iPhone 16 is due out by the time mine arrives. :(
 
There’ll be lots of noise about stores having stock then not having stocks, people having inside info from CEOs, neighbours cleaner etc.

Most major retailers and networks will have some stock for Friday so hopefully most of us early adopters will have one turning up tomorrow if you’re expecting it.

Stay clam folks.. going to be a busy day!

And if it doesn’t come, ah well.. it’s just a phone right?

I’m remote (Isle of Man) so delivery with DPD takes an extra day so my delivery date is the 25th. It usually arrives at my local deport on Friday night however which usually means I can go pick it up from the depot on Saturday morning (fingers crossed).

When I did this with my 13PM the lady at the depot said they had loads of people ringing them to go pick them up Saturday morning.

Well I’m paying £79 a month for 256GB pro max with zero upfront but that’s due to my annual upgrade which is unlimited everything. It is expensive and luckily they let me use the perk discount on the annual upgrade which must be new as they never let you do it before.
