Are you going to order the new iPhone 15?

When you put the pedal down and go to 60MPH in 3.2 secs, you forget all about CarPlay
I've only felt the acceleration of M3/M3LR and even those were a bit much so I can only imagine how face meltingly fast the M3P, plaid can be haha.

Why not invest in this cable from Anker, if data rates aren't a big issue for you.

100W cable is kind of overkill for ipad, iphone. Unless you are going to use it for a laptop doesn't make sense.
I got this one - not for the power rating but for the USB 3.2 rating to maximize data transfer on the P/PM. Gonna really help on restoring from a backup on Friday I think. I do love Anker stuff, too.

I had way too much fun watching those float planes take off from Lake Hood.

Same here! I loved watching those float planes take off and land. It was such a great view from the Alaskan Lakefront Hotel while having breakfast.
 
We were talking about the base iPhones, not the Pros. It seems like everyone who pre-ordered the base iPhones had not seen any tracking movement, unlike all of the Pro models that we have been tracking closely since Saturday.
It's always possible, but I'd be surprised if they were in the US, even more so on an even lower margin product, unless AAPL (or UPS or FedEx) has an oddly large amounts of previously unknown free/sunk cost 3PL space and labor sitting around. UPS does offer next and second-day-air international direct distribution products, but, who knows, it is odd to not see any movement on those SKUs, but it is only Tuesday, and it's not unheard of to see ship-customs-out for delivery within 48 hours with UPS direct distribution.

But rumor has it they had lines running the the non-Pro models first, so maybe this was the case and there is room in Rialto or their PA facility where the labor is already a sunk cost to make this work!
 
Guys, I have a confession to make...

So, yeah, I have a launch day delivery, which means launch day model + first wave model (in terms of manufacturing)... But there's one teeny tiny catch...

I won't get my hands on it until October 6th. So, exactly 2 weeks after it's delivered.

For the record, I knew about this before the event even happened...
How could you do this to us? To me?! I feel so betrayed right now

My thinking was that this may be one of the first products they trialed with using actual shipping. They said that they are pushing to transition all of their products over to that instead of using air freight, so they have to see how that method works for an actual product launch.

I agree, that there is still time to see what happens, but it seems odd that only the Pro Model SKUs have seen UPS shipping progress while all of the people reporting pre-orders for the non-pro models has seen nothing. I am just speculating here as to what could be happening. I very much understand how Apple's normal launch day shipping process works for iPhones, but appreciate the thorough explainer you provided nonetheless.
 
If I had one criticism about the Action Button, I wish they used this as an opportunity to move it somewhere easier to reach, maybe right below the Siri button. The point of it being a shortcut is to make it as easy as possible to do an action. Just because the mute switch used to be there doesn't mean the action button needs to stay there.

Thanks @julit0 for your advice. Just ordered one

I was wondering did not want to pay twice that for the apple one for these occasions which are rare (backups, copying files from macbook to iPhone ect). I see that the apple thunderbolt 4 cable is double that in price no thanks for the occasional use I would have.
