Yeah he got the 16". Everyone was complaining that it's too big and heavy and after using it constantly the last several weeks, I'm not sure what kind of potent crack people are smoking. It's incredibly thin and light and portable. People need to work out more if they think it's heavy. I don't think they've ever used Windows laptops before.

As for the Vision Pro, I think it's awesome, but I need to see what developers end up doing with it before I consider buying one.

Feels way too heavy but Apple did an awesome job. It's time to upgrade to M3. I do want Apple to introduce new colors in the Macbook Pro lineup. This brings back memories.. 28:12 Volumeeeee up! 🔊🔊

Apple Vision Pro is too expensive. I don't know what Apple is thinking with a $3,500 price point. It will integrate with the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max very well.

Natural Titanium is still Beskar to me 😂

But then why is everyone hating on the iPhone pro colors???? People say it’s bland. Lmao. Follow the hype.

Because people want to see a Red iPhone. They want something vibrant. Remember the rumors about the bronze color iPhone?

Hit the gym!

Yes, that is very nostalgic. I think the leap from M2 to M3 is going to be much bigger than from M1 to M2. *crosses fingers*

The M2 is a beast, though, but I'm hoping for great things for the 3nm process. They finally fixed the scalability issues with the ARM chips, so let's see where it takes us. 😁

And yes, more colors, please. If they're the same colors again, I may just get a dbrand skin.

The iPhone 15 Movement...​

Once our orders move to process we should start seeing some movement to 'Preparing For Shipment' over the weekend. This usually happens Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon (PST time).

Once this happens you should be able to get details on your phone and let the tracking begin!
Here are some notes to help track orders:
If your phone status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.
That invoice has the serial number on it.
Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the home page... go to your orders page). Now, login, find your iPhone order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new iPhone serial number.
Link to track your iPhone via UPS:
https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&requester=ST/

Tracking | UPS - United States​

Track one or multiple packages with UPS Tracking, use your tracking number to track the status of your package.
www.ups.com
Detailed Tracking
Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:
Track your UPS shipments here using your reference number
If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last two numbers/letters. For example: Say your order number is: W123456789, You'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature.

It’s about that time again! Going to be ordering from Apple again this year if I do go for the 12. Who’s excited? ETA: Also this includes Apple Store orders as well. Not sure how many are actually open for order pickup though.

Please share your thoughts on which iPhone model you plan on pre-ordering...
Which color, size, and storage?

Are you going to upgrade your iPhone 15 this year?​

​

This thread will be updated periodically. Stay tuned!​

I'm from New Zealand (a whole 15(?) hours ahead of eastern America) and I couldn't order on the official store web and app because it kept crashing on me so I had to pre order from a different store (Noel Leeming) instead. I at least thought that the app would work but I GUESS NOT. I got the Green 128GB Iphone 15 btw (the green looks really nice to me in my opinion)

Received my tracking number through UPS My Choice, “Shipment Ready for UPS Estimated delivery: Friday, September 22”. 😎

I ordered my phone through in store pickup but it was in my wife's name and billing. She had used my account earlier with her card to order some watch bands. It seems that when I ordered the phone, I didn't change any of the info and it shows her as the contact for pick up and billing. We called apple and they said it couldn't be changed. Is this true? Do I need to take her ID? Can we change it before? She'll be at work at the time so she can't pick it up.

 

[svish]

@svish Any updates with your iPhone? Some people had their dates moved up today. Excited you ordered a new iPhone this year. You didn't leave me hanging like last year haha! Just kidding. All love!

Checking by the hour, (by the minute 😃) but see no budging from these dates now. Wanted it on first day and now hoping for an earlier delivery.

Would like to upgrade every year but ------ 😁

I got label created, I ordered 1h, 5min after opening; is 0.4 kg phone or u2 watch?

edit: label created at 9/17 10:22AM, I’m guessing local time or UTC?

Congratulations! 0:40KGS is iPhone.

Oh Godddddd.. Why do you have a Apple Watch SE? What's wrong with you lol?

Get the Apple Watch Ultra. It's an amazing watch. It's bright + 3 days of battery life + super fast.

Well order the Apple Watch Ultra 2. I'm excited to get mine. Yeah.. upgraded from Apple Watch Ultra to 2.

Orange gang!!!

View attachment 2265577

I’m thinking of trading in my iPad Pro and my watch series 8 to get the ultra 2. I don’t really use my iPad at all and I’m thinking of getting something smaller like the regular iPad next year. I have my MacBook Pro so an iPad isn’t needed right now until I go back to college next summer

Hey, I went from a Watch Ultra to a Watch SE 2. The Ultra is just much too big for my smaller wrists. I loved the design and the build quality, I loved the features, but it just got in the way. I was waiting for the Series 9, but it doesn't / didn't wow me enough to spend the money. I might find a used Series 8 for a good price? IDK. I'm content with the SE? I know that's weird considering I can't not have the newest flagship iPhone...

Does anyone know how to unmask and view the full tracking number? I’m logged into UPS MyChoice

 

[ATX_wapiti]

I’ve got my tracking populated in UPS MyChoice. Showing as “On the way” with expected deliver on 9/22 😁 Super excited to get my new device in my hands. Upgrading from a 13 Pro Max (Sierra Blue 256gb) to the 15 Pro Max (Natural Titanium 256gb). Hope everyone was able to get the device(s) they wanted!

 

[Whistler Mac]

@TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ did you get your tracking number?

 

[Rubenfer]

All of you that are in the wave 1 or 2 have Express shipping or Standard shipping? Mine stills PTS, but doesn't appear in UPS My Choice nor searching by reference.

I know this is a USA thread but is it generally better to just go to an Apple store and buy the phone in the beginning when order times are very long? Seems like stores get random deliveries for immediate sale, while everyone's waiting for their mail orders...

I am planning a trip to Hong Kong to buy one but not sure they will have them in stock, given that deliveries have been pushed out to November. Official sale date is 22nd, like everywhere else. I am sure the first week(s?) it will be people standing in line to resell the phones elsewhere... but usually Apple is pretty good with ramping up production so they won't be rare for long.

I wish I had some data from previous years... anyone know what time we can estimate availability in store?
