The new watch band colors look too good. Tired of the band that came with my apple watch too so good timing. Been an apple watch user since July and I absolutely love it.

I have changed my mind. I think I will be joining you all and upgrading this year. However, I for sure won't be upgrading for the next two years. So if I pop up next year trying to upgrade, someone here virtually slap some sense into me. I noticed that my local Apple store still has some models of the Pro Max that will be available for pickup on launch day. I am hesitant to pre-order as I don't quite on the whole amount charged to my credit card just yet. But I am hoping I can just reserve launch day and bring my 14 pro max in to trade instantly.

Freaking Apple got me again!!!

@rixa001 What's the first thing you are going to do when you are going to receive your new iPhone?

What are you excited about the most?
1. Explain what I got to my wife (haha).
2. Already did a backup of the 12Pro onto the iMac. I'm crossing fingers that an app that's no longer in the App Store will work on the 15PM.
3. Because I use my current phone for 'work at home/Voip' matters, I have to double check that the settings/security are fine.

As much as I love my 12Pro, I missed the bigger screen. I understand it was 2020 and there were supply-chain manufacturing matters because of COVID (remember, that phone came out in late October). But going from an XSMax to a 12Pro felt like a regression, even though I was insanely jealous of the 11Pro's low light cameras...which was why I went with it. I'm looking forward to the 3 years of improvements (high refresh rate, dynamic island, always-on display and better cameras). For me, it's going back to a 6.7 screen and 'better' battery life.

Cheers!

15 pro max 256 (blue titanium). Even if I have to wait until October, I will be alright. But I am hoping I can snag one Friday via walk-in. The reviews is what turned the tide for me.

I like the new bands. I have a green S7 and am tempted to upgrade to the new cypress sport loop. Most of the time I use the green leather link so I don't think it's really worth it, but I do like the way the updated bands look now that they aren't the two-tone or speckled colors of the last few years.

Ok guys... ship date is November for mine. Any chance I get it by the end of the month? :) I remember that has happened to me before!

I'm going to join you and use a 5W adapter to charge my phone... but I won't do that crazyness you did with the dongle lol. Just simply getting a USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker. I'm a little traumatized with my 14PM battery health being down to 90% already...... I charge overnight anyway so don't need fast charging. I do have some 30W usb c chargers laying around though for moments when I'm in a pinch.
I'm at 93% health. What is an acceptable rate of decline after a year?

I know you're a night owl, so check this flight. Should give a track in about an hour. This should be the inbound flight for those still waiting in China. I'm headed off to bed soon. I'll make a quick brief though.
Wonderful! I've also updated my post and included the links. I'll keep an eye out. Thank you so much!

I have a launch day 13 Pro and my battery health is 90% and I have charged it via MagSafe every night since I got it. I use optimized battery charging. I have confidence in charging the 15 Pro the same way, never had any issues with optimized charging.
