Y'all - confession time. I've been a Macrumors forum member since 2003 -- that's 20 YEARS -- and I basically come here once a year to do this iPhone upgrade thread. LOL. Also, I check out the accessories forums, etc., but this is my major contribution every year for like the last decade. 😆😆

I can't do the pre-preorder (well, I can, but I'd really be risking losing a launch delivery... long story lol), so I have to do the whole thing on Friday. So, I'll have to quickly click on blue and just move on with the order! 🤣

You got it!
Tho, curious how pre-ordering would jeopardize a launch-day delivery. Regardless, the Blue Ti looks killer. Good luck!

I spent literally hours debating colors yesterday until I finally was able to make a decision late last night.

I eliminated blue and natural early on. Got stuck between black and white. I like the stealthy rich look of black, but the futuristic look of white has been catching my eye over the past year or two. I was also thinking about how white might be less likely to overheat in direct sunlight.

The problem with black is I’m tired of dark colors (deep purple) and I think it can look rather boring and bland in certain lighting. The problem with white is that there’s always something that hasn’t fully clicked with me. I think part of it is that it looks to close to dummy models (cheap) and that the white can look too boring/blank, like a piece of paper. Also, where there’s been some variance with black iPhones, it feels like the white has looked the same for 10 years.

Then, finally, all of the sudden, it clicked. Natural. It’s much lighter than Deep Purple or black, but not too light that it looks blank like white. It’s something new and different (which I wanted), and it should be less likely to overheat in direct sunlight compared to black. And luckily enough, the more I see it, the more I like it.

Good luck to all you color indecisive people like me! You’ll figure it out!

my only fear with natural/white is the bezels look more obvious than blue and black

I know what you mean. I have the opposite perspective on this. One of the reasons I prefer a lighter color this year is because it helps to see how much the bezel has been reduced. When you get a dark frame, it blends into the bezel and makes them look bigger than they actually are.

Long story short; In 2020-2021, I ordered iPhone's using my Apple ID. Everything - all the information - was 100% correct, but every order I made got cancelled for no reason. Apple was no help. To this day, I refuse to order anything from that Apple ID. However, I technically could use my second Apple ID which is only currently used for my developer account... Thing is, since that's all it's used for, I have absolutely 0 idea if it'll work or not. There's no billing/shipping information tied in with the Apple ID (I just pay for the account manually) and the Apple ID account name is not the same as the card I'd be using. I feel like it would work, but I'm just not sure if it's a risk I'm willing to take.

If I knew it would work, I would pre-preorder it right now lol!

I have to say that I am enjoying reading about all of you who are struggling with what color to get. I knew that I was doing blue a few weeks ago. @Theyayarealiving and I talked about it around a month ago. We both wanted the red that was being rumored. But as soon as it was confirmed that there was no red coming, we both decided on blue. Of course her being her, she had decided to get two of them in blue and neutral. I have to add, that I am really missing her today.🥲

iPhone 15 Pro Supports USB 3 Speeds, But Only If You Buy an Extra Cable

The iPhone 15 Pro has USB 3 port, but it comes with a USB 2 cable, not the USB 3 cable needed to achieve the fastest 10Gbps transfer speeds.

On the flip side, you will possibly be able to set a maximum charge limit! The feature won't be available immediately, but will come shortly after.

To me it makes sense. I hardly use the cable for anything other than charging. The general population will only charge with the cable. Pros looking to use the USB C port for anything more who want USB 3 likely have cables that support this already. Why drive up costs including the cable for everyone when few will use it.

I mean if you go to manage your Apple ID and enter the billing info wouldn’t that be sufficient even though you are only using that as a dev account? I mean i have two apple ID and none of have my billing info in there and never had issues with orders being cancelled.
