Apologies for double posting - excitement, fatigue, and frustration got the better of me. WFH means I had my Mac on the table, distracting me from work, refreshing the store page every minute or so in hopes of finding a nearby in-store availability. How stupid of me to think I'll be able to grab a phone last Saturday. This whole process consumed my entire evening yesterday and nearly all of today.
Managed to secure the 15P 256GB for my other half during the day and approx. 15mins ago managed to finally grab one for myself, albeit reluctantly opting for the 1TB model - a decision that felt almost compelled upon me, in a comical way.
Was astonishing to see the speed at which these phones sold out - how fast do folks checkout? The 1TB variants stayed up for sale for a good 10mins before vanishing. In contrast, the 128GB/256GB 15P vanished almost instantly. Despite my willingness to travel to London, I failed twice to secure the 256GB 15PM, as they were snapped up before I could finalise the checkout.
In any case, this is my first step back into the iPhone ecosystem since the iPhone 5, and it's certainly a substantial upgrade for someone who has always been with Samsungs; sold my Z Fold 4 512GB that I paid £1800, a device that after 7 months was on sale for £800 on eBay. Sold my earbuds, Samsung watch and bought everything Apple.
Heard that Apple cases are not that good and too expensive? I bought some Spine cases as always had Spigen, but will have a look at these cases in store tomorrow. Can someone please recommend me a good case? I already bought Spigen cases for both phones. This one, in matte black:
