No sign of mine yet. Ordered mine at 9am last Friday for pickup this Friday, I’m doing the actual upgrade in store because I’m getting staff discount. Nervous now!


Same on both accounts. Ordered it at 9am. Get family and friends discount so will collect in store Friday.

I always ruin the surprise with new iOS versions.. I always go public beta.. so I never fully appreciate the speed benefits....I applaud your patience!

Not for me!
I've started avoiding the public betas, especially the early ones due to performance etc

seemed to go quick enough this year between wwdc and its release

I’ve got an X and going to change to the XR. Not a fan of the oled screen when scrolling for example. Hurts my eyes trying to focus! Another month to wait....

The main camera upgrade looks good. Pointless changing to an XS as XI should be a good upgrade next year.

Here's a good website for finding pictures of old mobiles, by year...

...because black is just black isn't it?! It's not really a colour - its just what's left over when you taken the rest of the colour spectrum away!!!!! :D
hahaha, yeah I guess you are right. I just feel apart from the saddle brown and black leather cases, all the others dont look as nice anymore after a couple of months..
