Update: My wife was arriving home about 25 minutes after the tracking updated saying there was no one home to receive them, and she found the driver still in the neighborhood and got the phones directly from him lol. Crisis averted!

This happened to me too! I hunted down the driver. He told me apple products now require a signature on initial attempt. He was going to stop by again later to see if anyone was home. I had only gone to pick my son up from school so was away from the house for 15 minutes

The cameras on the Pro look lowkey obnoxiously large in person.

Also, the ProMotion lowkey makes me feel a bit notion sick, which is weird since I’ve had an iPad with ProMotion since 2017 and loved it. Guess I’m not used to it on a smaller screen.

So I setup the new iPhone 13 PM, activated through Verizon with a small glitch - the eSim came with iPhone didn't automatically activate. The customer reps were useless from VZW. Apple mentioned a phone number to call, enter pin and then switch off the phone. Restart and phone was activated.

Now the long process to setup all apps and other stuff in new device.

I am curious as my 13 ProMax 1TB is an AT&T model ordered from Apple preorder day on 17 but not arriving for another week or so at 5 past my delivery slipped before the order was completed. Reading these phones are going to esim mode no more regular sim’s has gotten me curious. And seeing Verizon folks with issues on some forum threads any AT&T folks here with new phones? Any problem with activation other than usual busy issues on opening day. Wondering if Apple set up our esim’s and will work just like days of physical sim’s?

I had a chance to spend some time with my new 13 Pro between Zoom meetings and I am extremely happy with the phone. As someone who upgraded from the 11 Pro, the differences are HUGE. First and foremost, the square edge design is so much better than the curved edges of iPhone 6 - iPhone 11. It feels so satisfying in hand, especially with an Apple leather case. Don't even get me started on the case - it's the best case I've ever used, full stop. I've been using the Caudabe Sheath on my last two phones (the aforementioned 11 Pro and X) and loved everything about it. The Apple leather case has an in-hand feel similar to the Sheath, but so much more satisfying - the leather just feels so nice. I keep picking up the phone from my desk, just to hold it.

But I digress. I love that Apple did away with the curved screen edges. I use tempered glass screen protectors and always hated the uncovered space that they left around the perimeter of the screen, due to the curved edges. This is no longer a problem. I love the look and feel of the flat screen. I know that some may disagree with me, but I'm really glad that Apple resurrected this design language. Speaking of screen, the additional real estate provided by the size bump (5.8" on 11 Pro vs 6.1" on 13 Pro) is definitely noticeable.

As has already been stated by others who received their 13 Pro/Pro Max, 120Hz is a gamechanger. Scrolling through my Facebook feed and various web pages is so much smoother than it used to be on previous generations. I haven't yet had a chance to give this feature a real workout by playing some graphics-intensive games, or to test out the camera, but I'll be doing that over the weekend.

TL;DR version: If you have an 11 Pro/Pro Max and are on the fence about upgrading, this is far more than an incremental upgrade.

Instead of just showing the UPS truck go back and forth by my neighborhood..it would be nice if they included how many more stops remained as well or at least an estimate on the Follow My Delivery feature.
