Are there any specific screen protectors that you use or would recommend? 🙂
Hit up these.

My favorite so far:

That is very interesting.. what storage are your phones? The reason I ask, is because most of the "preparing for shipping" phones are coming from the 256gb group. Not sure if I've seen any 512 ones....
Good point. I don't think we've seen any 512 being changed to "Prepared for Shipment".
 
Purchased two phones with Apple Card this morning. The mini has moved to “preparing to ship” and the pro max is still on order in progress (also hasn’t shown up on my Apple Card transactions list yet even though the mini eventually did). Should I be worried or am I just suffering from the usual bout of preorder paranoia?

my graphite PM is 512GB and the gold PM is 256GB. wonder why the mid GB models are moving faster than the others? maybe higher availability?

gotcha so the 512GB-1TB models are scanned last due to higher storage or am i not understanding this correctly? it is 2:15a here so i’m using that as my excuse 🤣
I believe so. Lower demand for it so they don't have much availability available. It's limited. That's why they were back ordered so fast today. Almost instantly.

Apple has all that data. They know exactly which color, capacity, size, is the most popular and which one people normally order. So based on the data orders #'s are placed differently.

For example: Production of 256GB is a lot higher then 512 or 1TB.
 
No need, haven’t used one in 47 years 😁
Fair enough lol. I usually go silicone cases for their simplicity and form factor but I haven’t ordered one yet for the 13 so I’m trying to decide what I want to do this go around 🤔 might go naked with some screen protectors

I don’t get it. I ordered 3 phones today on three different accounts from apple.

1st - iPhone 13 pro max

2nd - iPhone 13 mini

3rd - iPhone 13 pro

the last two have moved into preparing to ship and the first one is still processing. Should I panic? I already got the email from citizens one that I was approved for the loan.

why would the first phone be held up?
 
What are the YouTubers going to do now that they can’t do the whole ASMR peeling sound anymore?!
Never believe anything these YouTubers say, they sign a lot of embargos, they can only say certain things during first impressions videos and even their reviews.

Only reason I’m going to watch their videos is so I can admire that whole another level of sexiness sierra blue. 💙💙💙😳😂

If going naked, make sure you have apple care + these phones aren’t cheap to repair without it. 🤦‍♂️

I suspect, we are going to miss that sound and a lot of YouTubers will complain about it. It’s just not going to feel exclusive and premium. That’s what they’re going to say and how much they miss the peeling sound.
 
Just in to say goodnight.. I’ve been doing demolition on the catio to prepare for a redo.. it’s miserable hot out there, I’m about to take yet another shower..oh tmi and off topic! lol but I missed you guys. Came back in here to a ton of pages to read, whew. YEP my 256 pm is preparing to ship as well. :)
