Are you going to order the new iPhone 15?

Agreed! But the iPhone 12 Pro was one of the worst launches ever because they launched the iPhone Pro models later in months. We had to wait until November. It was terrible! 🤯😖

Covid got me out of the habit of getting a new iPhone every two (occasionally 1) years. Bought all the Apple toys in the interim though like fully maxed out MacbookPro, iPad Pro, etc. I can't wait to join the "3 camera lens on the back" club. I can't believe I waited 5 years. My XS Max has been hanging in like a champ though.

I had forgotten there was a delayed launch that year. That explains why I bought my 12PM in November of 2020. I was thinking I had changed my mind a couple months after the typical September Apple Event.

That's going to be one heck of an upgrade!
 
Out of all the Apple cases this year, this is the one I am running with on day 1. Looks killer with the saddle brown MagSafe wallet until Target gets me my Umber case for this Friday lol

Might add Clay later, never finewoven.

Gonna look lovely with the natty titanium

Awesome Choice. I ordered the Fine Woven and sent it back immediately. I would rather leather, which I have on 14PM. Day 1 I am going with Clay for my 15PM in Natural Titanium.
 
View attachment 2270674I don’t think anyone here on this forum would fall for these tricks… But I got this text a few minutes ago pretending to be from UPS. I assume if you click the link it’s gonna take you to a fake UPS login and would allow them to get your login credentials. I think this is perfectly timed several days before they know everyone’s receiving their iPhones… And if they can get into your account, they will redirect your phone to hold it up. Pick up location. Be careful out there people!

I raise you these two “legit” emails i have had the pleasure of receiving

Yeah! I was annoyed too because I had to order a iPhone 12 Pro (Gold) model. I didn't wanted to wait and bought it because I wanted to test out the new camera and didn't wanted to wait until November for the Pro Max model.

So I ordered a Pro model and then a Pro Max Model was released a month later. It was so annoying. Plus I hated using the regular pro model size. I like big iPhones. Apple definately got my money twice.

I went to the Apple Store yesterday to pick up my cases. I handled the Fine Woven (that I’d cancelled), and it felt really cheap. Glad I went with silicone.
 
I'm part of iUP. What I didn't know when I uncharacteristically selected in-store pickup, was that I'd have to relinquish my 14 Pro in order to walk out with my 15 Pro.
I don't think this is true. You can relinquish your 14 in store that day if you want to, but I think that you have 14 days to do so if you prefer not to turn it in that day. It's been a few years since I've done an in store pick up, but I recall it being a choice to turn it in right then and there, and not a requirement.

I don't know what carrier you have but Verizon is offering $830 for an XS trade in towards the purchase of any of the 15 lineup.
 
I ordered an iPhone 15 Pro, 512 Gig, Titanium Blue, through Xfinity. Xfinity is giving me $830.00 trade-in on my iPhone 13 Pro with 256 Gig. The phone should ship Friday. The rates are $30.00 per line for two phones, unlimited talk, text and data with tethering allowed. I have been on their plan for several years.

However, Xfinity has my account screwed up because I used a SIM card in Europe. Xfinity now thinks my phone is assigned to a different line in their ordering system. I have to order the new phone with a new number, then when the phone arrives go to the Xfinity store and have my old number ported to the new phone.

That is quite the pickle. I say enjoy the trip and pick up on Monday for a relaxed trade-in/setup session.
I just got off the phone with a helpful Apple rep.

Because I am on iUP, I can not designate another person to pickup my 15 Pro.

Since I will miss my Friday 1:15 pm pickup window, I have 7 days to get to the store to pickup my device. I dot'' need to cancel the 1:15 window, I dot' need to schedule a new window. Once that window us missed, I can literally walk in and get my 15 Pro. Additionally, and this is what matter most to me, when picking up my 15 Pro, I can return home with both the 145 Pro and 15 Pro. There, I can enjoy all that I described earlier. Yah!

The only "catch" (and it's not even a deal, but sharing for full disclosure) is that since a return box was never issued, I have to return my 14 Pro to a physical Apple Store so they can close that loan. That return needs to happen within 14 days from my 15 Pro pickup. Side note: apparently, I could have selected a return box be issued when placing my order. But I do not recall seeing that option in last week's melee, or I would have [surely] selected that option.

That I can take both devices home was my ultimate hope and such relief to confirm. This should afford a more relaxing weekend. Sunday morning packing will be Moreland back. Kids will eat breakfast at the campsite. 🤪😂
