Almost all orders going out are from a few minutes past 8. I doubt at 23 mins we'll get the phones on release. I am hoping to get them in Sept though.
My email came through at :23 and I have delivery for Friday. If your order says your phone will be there on Friday, it will be there.

Another close up take.

Be aware!

So, the iPhone 15 Pro’s titanium frame does attract fingerprint marks and creates a halo effect around the buttons which was visible in previously shared hands on images.

According to Arun, it can also get scratched easily 😳

Heat absolutely accelerates battery degradation

But it's unclear if 20w wired or 15w wireless causes enough heat vs. e.g. 5w wired / 7.5w wireless to cause a detectable difference in the degradation rate within a 1 year timeframe

All I know is 1 year of 15w MagSafe charging has ravaged my battery within 1 year in ways that 5w wired / 7.5w wireless charging never did in years past... and that's even with "Optimized Charging" that didn't even exist before.
I don't worry too much about battery degradation when I trade my iPhone in every year.
 
Honestly, I'm with you. I have a 20W usb-C Anker charger I use occassionally for faster charging, and it makes my 14PM really hot. It's crazy that's considered the baseline/minimum charging speed now with USB-C.

I've been mainly charging wirelessly overnight due to convenience (slapping my phone on a MagSafe stand instead of fumbling with a cable). It's not a fast charger, but I've still had the worst battery degradation this year out of any iPhone. It could be coincidence, but when I've gone longer periods of time using wireless charging on past iPhones, that's when my battery capacity seems to start dropping too.

I've considering buying 5W USB-C chargers on Amazon, but it's hard to trust those no-name brands with things like electricity. It'll also be hard to pass up the convenience of wireless charging. I don't miss being ready to fall asleep but then getting more awake again due to fumbling with a charging cable.
Thank you for your honest review. Walmart might be the best source for this 5W Apple Charger. It’s got the green dot 🟢. The best of the best OEM Apple Certified.

In retrospect, the top-aligned Apple logo now looks odd compared with the centred logo that began on the iPhone 11.
