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

[FlightLevel310]

It looks like Canadian iPhones are coming from Shanghai, China.

Is it because they have a SIM card Tray in their iPhones? So it’s coming from a different iPhone production assembly plant?

Ah that makes more sense then. It was a real curveball.

Check out the Honor Magic V2. When folded, it is as thin as an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

@MrENGLISH what are you thoughts on the Apple Vision Pro? Do you like it?

 

[zonai]

What was your first ever iPhone?

Mine: iPhone 3GS - 2008. Been upgrading every single year since then. It’s 2023. 🤯

Started with iPod Touch 4, then iPhone 6, 7, XR, 11, 12 Pro, and finally 13 Pro.

Hey all! Canadian thread is pretty dry and has no interesting flight insights for our delivery. Could we please get some insight on our flights based on this?:

I would guess this one, but I really don’t know for sure. It’s just a guess.

I see, a guess adds to fun! Thank you.

Ok, I’m heading to my suite. Great hanging out in the lounge with everyone. Thank you @laffnvegas for the invite. Hopefully we’ll have flight updates in the morning by breakfast. Night all.

I have an attachment to VR that most people don't have.

I bought a Virtual Boy on Day 1 when it released in 1995.

My ex and I had started a VR business back in 2015 with a focus on filming wedding and other events in Stereo 360 VR utilizing 14 GoPro cameras at one time.

That venture turned out to be a little too soon for the market and eventually folded and took my relationship with her down with it.

After that I took a break from VR for awhile and only recently came back to it. I currently own the PS VR 1 and the Quest 2.

I'm interested in the Vision Pro BUT I'm not willing to drop $3500 for one. If I can get a good deal on one I will most likely buy it then.

I placed two orders with 5 minutes difference. One of them was billed and set to “preparing to ship” but the other one is still “processing”. Both still says delivery date is Friday. Just wondering if somebody else is waiting yet to switch from processing to preparing to ship because I’m concerned about that one.

 

[FlightLevel310]

I’d also expect to take a flight to Louisville from Anchorage. Then more flights to Canadian cities or potentially movement by truck.

 

[zach-coleman]

I'm still very curious how much space the spatial videos are going to take up. I'm gonna throw out ~600MB per minute if they're 60fps. If they're 30 then ~490MB.

Also if they’re square like shown in some of the renders I’m guessing 2160x2160.

 

[digitalfx]

departed ZhengZhou, China

 

[dsmill]

I still only have the last 4 digits of the tracking. I hope to get the full number soon. I should check for my Ultra 2 and AirPods Pro w/ USB C have full tracking #’s. All with Friday delivery.

I first got into VR with the Valve Index and then the PS VR 2. I have my eyes on the Quest 3 next

I am also curious about the new spacial video that will be coming to both iPhone 15 PM and the AVP.

I am a sucker for stereo/3D video.

I graduated with a degree in Media Arts and Animation and made my graduation reel in stereo 3D with the Red and Blue glasses - this was back in 2004 before 3D TVs were even a thing. The 3D Glasses were a great idea to me because I put my contact info on them and they acted like business cards.

So I am very much interested in the idea of spacial video and hope it looks great in the AVP. I'm also hoping they will start selling 3D movies in the Apple TV store.

 

[FunkyTang]

Mine was iPhone 2G then

iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6s plus, 7 plus, 7s plus, X, Xs Max, 11 PM, 12 PM, 13PM, 14PM, 15PM

😂

iPhone 7s plus? That’s funny.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

Two different camps on this one. Some are swearing that once in the States we should still be able to do a Pickup Hold like years before, but it seems Apple is telling UPS to not allow this. Fingers crossed that the former will hold true for another year.

Is this only for access points, or for both access points and hubs?

 

[Whistler Mac]

Yea don't think you'll see a foldable iPhone until Timmy can scream into a camera and say the worlds thinnest foldable ever!!

Fold open the iPhone Ultra and it turns into Vision Pro!! Our best foldable yet!

 

[Gathomblipoob]

That hasn’t been true in the past and I don’t think it will be true this time.

You are correct. None of the prior year iPhones have come with iOS 17 installed. 😀

I just looked at the 15 Pro keynote again and it records widescreen spatial videos. At WWDC, they were square… that’s weird?

I wouldn’t worry about it. Apple is shipping multiple batches from China. You’ll get it on Friday.

I thought I remember during quick setup that it's no longer needed to do the trick of setting up the phone real quick updating to the latest iOS and then wipe it and then set up again with Quick Setup for real to get all your settings moved over.

I could be remembering incorrectly but I thought last year was the first year I heard there was an option to have the phone upgrade to the current iOS first and reboot and then it would start the Quick Setup?

I was too quick to want to set it up and get going that I just did the set up, wipe and then real set up because that was always required before.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

Travel is the only thing money can buy that makes you richer 😂.

Agreed. I've been to dozens of countries all over the world (except South America). It's always nice to get out of your own back yard and see other neighborhoods.

Weird why?

Vision Pro is still very much under development and I’m sure Apple didn’t want to reveal more details than they wanted to at WWDC.

This is how it went last year on my 14 Pro purchased at launch. I am sure it will be the same this year.
