Other 🇺🇸 USA - Apple.com - iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[Rafterman]

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.

What do you mean?

Can we create a countdown on our phone?

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?

I'm listed as 12pm-4pm for UPS delivery. Though I will be surprised if it makes that window.

So when do we think reviews are going live this time? Wednesday? First thing I do is visit the website of that one photographer who gets one to review every year. Then I check out Marques' video.

Yes, this is the app I used:

@hungryteresa dont jinx it! 😳
It’s like talking about a no-hitter…

 

[hungryteresa]

Ahhh! It's ok! Will wait for your return here. Hopefully, it's going to be a chill day for you. Look at you attending interviews. I remember when you were looking for a new job as a Project Manager. Making Big Moves over here. I see!

For me Tuesday is going to be tough because I have to go to this stupid Exhibition to attend a conference so I know I'll be busy attending the event all day long. I'm so mad about that lol. But the good thing is it should be done in the afternoon (expected). Hopefully, I don't come back with catching up with 50 pages behind.

Haha I'm guessing by Tuesday our iPhones will be having some movement out of China hopefully!!! It is hard to keep up with all the posts here. I don't want to miss anything, so I try to read every post. Conferences are tough!! Hopefully there's good wifi so you can catch up during lunch or your break. We'll be missing your presence on Tuesday!

Yes, I started this job in January 2023. It's going super well and I'm glad I made the transition over into Product Management. Hopefully, my company doesn't do any layoffs as it seems the tech industry is still doing layoffs. I think we are doing well financially, but you just never know what to believe anymore. 😬

Understood. Yes, signature required. I don’t have an option in ups my choice account to sign that will release package without signature.

I’m going to guess Tuesday or Wednesday, most likely Wednesday.

I’m actually surprised Apple doesn’t include one on their store app.

 

[brandonnnnnnn]

Did anyone preorder from Optimum Mobile? They have no order tracking system, except for emailing when the order ships. Their site showed a launch day delivery when I preordered. Sucks to not be able to know anything about the order.

 

[paulie6978]

I just said agent; agent; agent.

Still no luck for me ugh

 

[EricExtreme]

I ordered a few of these USB C version 4 cables. I can also use them for my M2 MacBook Air.

Mine is 3:30-7:30pm, so I guess it is accurate. 🙁 Usually the UPS person drops off everything by 6:30pm. Let's hope he doesn't deliver my iPhone at 7:30pm! 😰

 

[swarlos]

Wheee got my countdown ready.

 

[Rafterman]

I have a bunch of thunderbolt 3 an 4 cables left over from my MacBook Pro thunderbolt hubs (e.g., OWC). I use one on my iPad Pro 12.9 to get 10gb speeds. I wish they would open it up on the iPad to full thunderbolt 40gb.

Did you want me to email you? Lol

 

[dudeski]

seriously.

Same but they are all scripted. Marketing talk. Approved by Apple Marketing Team. Focused on saying, best battery, best screen, best camera... best everything.. you get the idea.

Of course, they are not going to say anything bad. Don’t want to miss out on not getting an invite from Apple to a WWDC or Apple Event.

Real reviews are when we get our hands on our iPhone 15 Pro Max.

seriously it’s all so fake! I knew they were bs when I turned on my iphone 14 pro and immediately thought “dynamic island is the dumbest thing ever” lol

Does apple not sell a USB TO USB C cable?

This is what I bought from Apple

It’s too bad we didn’t get to see this. Dynamic Island does have a potential tho.

Dynamic USB-C Pro.

My first iPhone story. We were on Verizon month-to-month because I was anticipating the first iPhone coming out. The original iPhone was only available on AT&T. It came out on a Friday but I didn’t buy it then. I called the Columbia Maryland Apple store the next day and asked the person how long the lines were for the iPhone, and he said “We have no lines.“ And I ask, “Well do you have any iPhones?” And he replied, “Oh yes we have iPhones.” So I immediately get in my car and I motor over to the Columbia Apple store to purchase the first iPhone. It had a hard drive and it was only good in Wi-Fi. The only cellular network was the edge net work. Does anybody remember the edge network? So it was really slow in cellular but it was fun in Wi-Fi and it had a calendar and it had iTunes and I could make calls with it, so I loved it and I never looked back.

Great memories but the original iPhone didn’t have hard drive. They stopped doing that well before the iPhone was introduced.
