Anyone regret going from the Pro to the Pro Max; does it feel too big?
Here is my 12 Pro in my 15 Pro Max case to give you an idea

Usually if its ups cc hold it shouldn’t delay. Its the ups store access point that may delay.

Does anyone know if backing up via cable will be faster with the new Pro models? Every year it takes 1-2 hours of backing up my current iPhone then another 1-2 hours to restore. Does the USB3 speed help in this case?
20x faster on 15P/PM. Don’t forget the cable must also be USB 3.0 or better - which most likely won’t be the rating for the included cable.

I was surprised today, went with my family to preorder the iPhone 15 Pro Max (Blue, 512GB) and got estimated delivery for Friday, my mother and father, getting the 15 Pro Max (Natural, 256GB) and 15 Plus (Black, 128GB) respectively, are out about a month and 2-3 weeks. Guess this is the first time Blue/Black weren’t as popular as Natural/White.
 
Question to pass the time…

Do you install the iOS update on your soon-to-be-“old” phone, or do you wait until you get your new one so that it feels…extra-new?! 😅

(Wish I could post a poll within this thread!)
I do both. Always install as new. Why?

I already have a link to pre-sign. No way I would do that, but you can release the package earlier. I also think since COVID times, I haven’t really seen the signature requirement enforced. Or in some cases, if they see a video doorbell sign, they know they’re being recorded and take that as meeting the signature requirement.

I don’t have that link. 🤔

I will install it the night before so my backup can be on iOS 17 to ensure smooth sailing but normally I like to experience the new iOS with my new phone 😅

I pretty much always do public betas.
 
How do you know your iPhone won’t be delivered until 6pm?

I want to select (change) the 2-hour confirmed delivery window, but the only two options are 1:45pm-3:45pm or no preference. I am working from home on Friday, but have a personal appointment at 2:00pm. I may have to reschedule…
I just know the UPS person for my building always delivers everything after 6pm. I've had my iPhone shipped for the last 3 years and they all have arrived after 6pm. I think my apartment building must be the last building for the UPS person's route. I don't even have the option to pick a 2 hour confirmed delivery window since I live in a city. Do you need to sign for the package? Isn't there some paperwork for you to sign that will allow UPS to drop off a package without a signature?
 
As I sit here, eagerly awaiting my iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB, Ultra 2 watch and USB-C Airpods Pro this Friday, I look at my backup phone, a Galaxy Fold 5 1TB. It's a really good phone and a lot of fun to use. I so badly want to make it my primary.

But...

I've been using iPhones for 15 years now and I can't get away from the ecosystem. I enjoy the integration of iOS with my Mac and iPad. I love the simple (and full) backups and restores. I love not having to convert iTunes content to remove the DRM if I want to put it on Android. The iOS app store tends to have less junk. I'm used to the iPhone's quirks and gestures. I often make iOS gestures on the Android, due to force of habit.

Come on Apple, where's your folding phone? Then it wouldn't even be a choice which platform to go with.
