iUp is the exact same thing as financing a new iPhone and trading the old one in every year w/ monthly AppleCare+.

I don’t think there are any other advantages or differences?

I'm only speaking for my ATT experience, but financing thru Cellular usually requires either 1) a contract for (usually) 3 years; or 2) an additional monthly charge for the "privilege" to upgrade after paying 50% of the phone off. In order to take advantage of any "deal credits" (like getting $830 for an iPhone 12), we have to keep the upgrade phone for 36 months because the credits only come monthly, not all at once.

IUP is a loan (and a contract) but not a 3-year commitment and you don't have to pay extra per month just to be able to upgrade after 50% of the phone is paid off. This, while also including AppleCare+.

One of my co-workers owns two houses there. She’s been recommending the area to visit. I’ve been to Portland, but didnt get to see the Oregon coast. She says it’s a hidden jewel.

As a lifelong Pacific NW girl, I agree wholeheartedly. We used to spend summer vacations on the Oregon coast. It’s magic.

This must be our flight to ANC from Seoul.

UPS 99

it is scheduled to leave in about 2 hours.

Wow -- so they're going to move the pallets from UPS173 (Boeing 767) to UPS99 (Boeing 747) in Seoul. They're really working hard to get this last batch over!

I am thinking of getting a Tesla but the lack of car play has me considering other EVs too. Tesla has the best charging network by far of course.

Honestly had the same discussion with myself when debating my Tesla, but I gotta say, it’s really not as big of an adjustment as I thought because of how integrated your phone can be. Still get calls, text messages, and then navigation in my Tesla is great. The Bluetooth connection I find very very strong as well, so running my Apple Music is not a problem either. We did recently spend the $100 per year to get the premium connectivity which has an Apple Music app integrated, all we had to do was log into my Apple account and we were off to the races. I do miss CarPlay, but just from my personal perspective it’s okay it doesn’t have it.

Best time of the year. Hopefully, next year you will come back and order the iPhone Ultra. Let's go!!

I don't even know where my Apple Watch Ultra 2 is.

Me NEITHER....no matter how many times I try chase it in "my choice" perhaps it's just in USA....

Sigh. None of my vehicles is new enough to have CarPlay. 31 years and the “new” car from my dad is 15. I think the truck I sometimes drive came out one year before GM put CarPlay features in.

Well it became available from Mazda a couple years after I got mine in late 2015. So I had them put it in. I really use CarPlay a lot on long travel has been a lifesaver at least I have an adapter now for the new USB-c connection on my ne iPhone should be good now

Woke up to see my package has departed AK 🫡 excited to be on this plane with y'all

 

[Whistler Mac]

You made my day! I see it too! Let’s go!

Finally, my shipment got a “Departed from Facility”. Very soon my iPhone 15 Pro Max will be beyond the jurisdiction of that awful government. Hopefully, my next iPhone will be manufactured in India.

We just got a Tesla recently and honestly, I don't miss car play as much as I thought. The navigation for Tesla works really great and the in-app Spotify is decent enough for me. However, I heard the Apple music app isn't the best but I haven't used it yet to confirm.

 

[jbjarko]

Sweet! Take a picture if you can. Didn't you do that last time? I remember reading a story about that in here.

Wasn’t me. I’ll give it a shot if I can! Will be getting ready to head to the office around the same time. Eek!

 

[vtboyarc]

Sun rays poking out this morning. Can’t wait to see how the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera is!

 

[xxray]

Only a minute into Mrwhosetheboss’s review and I’m hearing exactly what I was hoping for! A seemingly not huge upgrade on paper, but lots of big quality of life improvements in real life and things Apple didn’t mention in their keynote. I’m so excited!

 

[goneeuro02]

The phones will sit in Louisville till Thursday correct? What’s the best way to figure out flights to our parts of the country? I’m in SW Florida so I think it will come into Tampa.

 

[quagmire]

I must be in 2C because still in China.

 

[FunkyTang]

You can buy a USB-A to USB-C cable and a USB-A charge block

This looks like the cheaper way to change at 5w with just Apple gear.

I don’t think this is the last batch.

my husband’s iPhone is still in ZZ. with some Wave 2B folks. There could be delayed in scans. Time will tell!

Just gotta keep an eye on your tracking and Flightaware. Most major metros have 3+ UPS flights arriving daily. Usually arrive early in the morning or evening. I suspect our phones will hit our hubs Thursday night.

 

[StudioMacs]

lol "waves"...

it doesnt matter if those still in "zz" are departed or not. doesnt matter if you are in "wave 1 or 2".. if you got in to get your phone delivered by this friday, then they all will be held up at the hub until the approval from almighty apple to begin shipping to the end user.

who cares if your phone shows in up in KY today or wednesday. they all will start shipping out at roughly the same time anyway. its the "hurry up and wait" syndrome...

Did you get enough attention from this comment yet?

This doesn't really surprise me - that they jump through some hoops to get this done - every phone that misses its overall schedule is a delivery exception, increased customer support load, potential staff scheduling issues because the peak package traffic is shifting... what a mess! They might not move heaven and earth for a single package, but for a plane with 200,000 parcels from a single shipper? Oh, yeah.

 

[TurboCoder2022]

For those who have ordered regular iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Plus. If you have not been assigned a tracking number yet. 95% sure your iPhone is already in the U.S. and it is going to be shipped overnight to you via UPS distribution centers located in California and PA. Thursday is a big day for you! Stay on the look out.

What about those of us who have ordered an iPhone 15 Pro Max who don't have a UPS tracking number yet? Mine has not yet been assigned and isn't showing up in the UPS system at all. But my mom's is. Although she hasn't been assigned a tracking number yet.

 

[FunkyTang]

You wanna talk socks?

How come uncle Tim didn’t release FineWoven socks? Not socks to wear on your feet but a FineWoven sock case/sleeve for your iPhone 15.

Kinda like the iPod had.

When I had my 2015 Mazda 3 I bought the CarPlay kit and installed it myself. Took about two or three hours. Had sore glutes for a couple of days but it was totally worth it.

Of course, my 2021 Mazda 3 (my 2015 got totaled) came with CarPlay.
