Do you think the plane will stay in Anchorage for a few days before going to Louisville?
No as @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️ indicated it is scheduled all the way to UPS World Port (SDF) tomorrow morning

MKBHD for sure while I love iJustine I know for sure that Marques would tell me up front the truth about my product or stock while Justine would be just trying to sell me a stock she’s in love with even if it was going down the drain in the stock market
iJustine is cool, but her 'fandom' seems more about 'selling' than reviewing. MKBHD (and Flossy Carter) seems more unbiased.

I believe you can be a fan, but call 'balls & strikes.' All tech has its pros & cons.

My 3 cents.
 
@EricExtreme I keep track of it in here.

I would highly suggest you refer to the last year's USA iPhone 14 Pre-order thread. All the information is there. Thank you!

I'm still confused but that's what happens with four diagnosed learning disabilities. Sometimes the obvious goes right over my head. It gets frustrating at times and sometimes I just have to accept not understanding something, such as this as to avoid upsetting others. Some days are better than others.

I think MKBHD may be slightly biased toward Android, but not drastically. I usually enjoy his reviews. It's impossible to avoid bias, I know.
 
Meanwhile, the in-store pickup people and regular iPhone 15 people having no idea where their phones are:

Ironically, I am less concerned after having to ship to my house last year due to Apple Store ordering issues. Bit of relief to not have to track it, call UPS, ask for it to be held and maybe or maybe it does not get held. I know it will be at Apple, at the time I selected.
 
Ordered Blue Titanium Pro Max through the Apple website using AT&T $1000 trade in credit (12 promax). Picking up the phone in Apple store on Friday. The checkout process allowed 2 ways to deliver the trade in - in the Apple store @pick up, or receive a trade in kit in the mail. I picked the latter to allow enough time to synch the old phone to the new. Having second thoughts now. Does the Apple store allow time to run the synch or complete the icloud restore to the new device?
 
So everyone, who has big plans for their new phone this weekend? Going out to take photos? Running speed and performance comparisons with your current phone? Showing it off to friends and family? Spending several hours going through settings to get every setting to your liking? Catching up on your sleep after spending many hours on this forum?
 
A canned espresso martini? Ewwww
They're delicious. Of course not quite as good as a good mixologist could make them fresh, but for a flight they are :chefs-kiss:. The company that makes them makes great canned Old Fashioneds and Negronis as well; Delta carries them.

So, the FineWoven case arrived today. It sucks and I'm a little upset. I wouldn't upset if this wasn't the replacement for the leather cases? It feels like a very cheap piece of fabric that was slapped on a generic case. That being said, the leather cases haven't been that good for a while, either... But. I don't know. I'm not impressed. It's going to stain super easy lol
I was talking about this with my wife when mine arrived this afternoon. She looked at it and said "it looks nice." She felt it and said, "it doesn't feel like leather."

And that's when I realized, nobody at Apple ever said, "The Leather case has been discontinued, and FineWoven is our vegan leather replacement." All they said was, "The Leather case has been discontinued", and also, "Here's our FineWoven case which doesn't have the issues that leather has (but has different issues, and by the way, it kinda sorta feels like suede)". It's only a leather replacement in the way that denim is a leather replacement, but in a way, they want you to think it is, so they can charge the same amount of money they did for their previous, premium product.

And I'm with you - the first time you cook with it, and take a call before fastidiously washing your hands? yeah, that case is done.

EDIT: Has Apple calculated the carbon impact of shipping cases that are not what people want, and then the carbon impact of returning it? I think this will not be earth-shaking, but a lot more than people would think.
