Love Miami. Planning on going back next year. I miss the beach water there. Have you made it to the Key West? The drive from Miami to Key West is beautiful.

iPhone 15 Pro Max contains A17 Pro chip.
Sure have...first time we went we stayed there....last year I drove it myself just for the day...crazy I know...but that drive is just subliminal...I drive it with the roof down and play Beach Boys music...(dating myself) and of course the Key Largo song...
 
Here's a picture I took yesterday during my weekly walk to Manhattan from Brooklyn! The weather has been so nice. Low humidity and sunny.

That's the Brooklyn Bridge and you can see One World Trade Center too! 😎
 
I just got this survey regarding the preorder process. Those of us who experienced technical issues during checkout should definitely participate.

It was no secret that demand was going to be high, so hopefully Apple gets it together next year.

I got this as well. Demand is always high for a flagship iPhone launch but this wasn’t even a super cycle upgrade like the X.
 
This will work for CarPlay right? Or should I cancel and order the anker ones? I remember seeing an article saying that certain cables wouldn’t work
I went ahead and ordered the Anker cables for my CarPlay setups. Both of my cars have USB-A ports, but one of them has a wireless CarPlay dongle that works well. I’ll keep the second cable as a backup.
 
Should I tell them you may have crashed the Apple App Store? 🤔

We have proof of you have :01 stamp.
Can you imagine a few million crazy apple fanatics worldwide trying to order phones at the same time, many using multiple devices to try and get in faster. Millions of devices trying to order at once. No wonder there are problems, especially if heavy traffic comes through more widely used domain name servers. I am guessing that’s why some people get in flawlessly and others have problems. I live in a remote location in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire and had no trouble getting in immediately upon order launch.

Glad you got in just fine. Around what time and did the App crash for you afterwords?

Everyone receiving the survey should participate to let Apple know the experience and what to improve. Balancing servers to overcome overload is one of the improvements they need to do to avoid any last week preordering crashes and chaos.
 
Does it still charge the iPhone fast though? like what watts. Even though the other USB-C is also use?
I have 2 of these Anker 67 watt chargers (purchased in anticipation of receiving the iPhone 15 pro):

If you go to Anker's site, they show you the power available when 1, 2 or 3 devices are plugged in - scroll down to where you can choose 1 port, 2 port or 3 port charging:


So with one port/device charged it will provide up to 67 watts (USB C). With 2 USB ports used, the total is 65 watts (and what they don't say is it is split, so it would be roughly 32 watts each).

But an iPhone can't take up to 67 or 65 watts. It probably is limited to 20 (or 25 at best). So this should be more than fine.

I already use this charger for my 4th generation iPad Air. (which supports up to 20 watts for charging). It is super fast.

What is particularly confusing about USB, is the standards are so ridiculously flexible and confusing. So for "fast charging" technology, USB itself developed something called PD (power delivery). But it doesn't force companies to use that. They can make their own variants - and there are like a half dozen of them. Anker uses its own variation of that technology called power IQ:

Hey everyone! Sorry, I am late to the game with a reply, but have been following the thread. So exciting!

Unfortunately, I had a really rough time with my preorder... I live on the east coast in NJ, so I was on top of it at 8AM sharp. I was at my dest with iPhone, MacBook, and iPad ready to go. I kept getting error after error on all three devices and could not get into the Apple Store to complete my preorder until 8:28AM. By that time delivery estimates for my 15 Pro Max 256GB Natural Titanium had slipped to October 9-16. 🤮

To add insult to injury, I always pay in full for my iPhones, so no IUP or Apple Card installment issues to screw things up. I had my order ready to go; I simply could not get into the Apple Store. SO UPSETTING!

Interesting fact ...if I do put 1 in front of the area code it does come up with their garbled tracking number...no 1...nothing comes up...strange
It might have to do with how the phone number is on the order itself whether there is a 1 in front of the area code or not.

I would love a winter visit but I would miss this too much
I love snow but only during Christmas time😅 but I would rather to have snow as long as not blizzard, having more than 1 inch, last than it should be than very very cold temperature😁 White is my favorite color. I always appreciate when snowing, having growing up on tropical weather.

We’re gonna need some pictures to pass the time. Sounds gorgeous!

Lol, I found the Village Drapes tracking site just for grins. Who knows if their tracker has the wicket that unlocks UPS’ secrets? 🤷‍♀️
