If you're clumsy enough then yeah buy it ASAP. For most people you should be fine to hold off and get the most out of it. If it's cheaper on Barclays then I suppose that is worth doing at time of purchase. What's the price difference?
Got a tip for us?

Finally set up! Only took 3 hours. Never had it like this before. Anyway, the 15 pro max seems much smaller than the 14 pro max. Love the size.
Sounds impossible doing all this with just two hands… I’ll need at least three for all this.
I’ll admit as much as it pissed me off I did order another set and will try again tomorrow.. and if needed my partner will be home to assist 😂 🤦 😂
It is a bit smaller than a 14 Pro Max in width/length but the screen stays the same size. The 15 Pro Max is slightly thicker but I'm not sure if that's the size of the camera bump which looks bigger (again) this year
15 pro max | 14 pro max
| 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.3 mm (6.30 x 3.02 x 0.33 in) | 160.7 x 77.6 x 7.9 mm (6.33 x 3.06 x 0.31 in) |
Hope everyone who’ve received the new phones today are enjoying them - hoping to be able to partake next year in the iPhone 16 Pro Max thread.
Update re: EE’s generosity - first call handler went “bloody hell!” & then put me back on hold. Spoke to another handler and they’ve organised a returns package.

For a 15 pro £48 cheaper for 24 months (theft and loss).

Phone arrived, looks amazing, feels amazing, time to set it all up.
Got my 15 PM this afternoon and it's just finished downloading data from iCloud, but it hasn't asked if I want to transfer my watch over... Any ideas without having to go down the reset and re-pair route?!
Not my year for a new iPhone! I went on at 6am and reserved two - what I thought were Pro Max - and after work I have now checked and see they were Pro models for tomorrow. So I cancelled.… that is what happens half asleep at 6am.
I will try again tomorrow although I expect now it will be next week before I can find a Pro Max to pick up on the basis that these Saturday pick ups almost certainly came with the launch day stock and there will not be any more deliveries before next week…

Interesting. I ordered mine with Sky within a few minutes of pre-order opening and it came today no problem.
Looks great!
I got a 15 Pro Max in black but I tried out a 15 in store and liked it. I always go for the biggest phone but 15 felt good to hold. Plus I love how more black the 15 is.
Busy day at work so only just managed to put my screen protector on (the phone was delivered at 7:30am)!!
Putting on the screen protector took about 20 seconds and was very easy not a single air bubble or fluff caught but not sure if it's worth £16.99 but at least it was a two pack.
Have to say the colour infused glass back looks really smart.
I had this problem. From what I can read you're supposed to un-pair from your old phone first.
Otherwise you have to erase from the watch, then set-up as a new watch (although it kept the settings).
