Are you going to order the new iPhone 15?

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.

But don't they always get your money twice??? :eek:😂
 
🤦‍♀️ @lazyrighteye do me a favor and just block out the entire month of September on your current phone right now.

Also, what time are you leaving, are you going somewhat local? Can you be a little late? Go to the Apple Store early, first thing on the way? Just tell your friends and family you are worth the wait 😉
Oh dang. I did forget to ask the Apple rep just now, about the potential for a coign in before my formal 1:15 pm pickup window. We're likely not pushing off until 9 pm. So I could be first chair at 8 am when the store opens.

The reality is, since learning I can go in any time after my appointment and take both devices home, I'm satisfied. Plus, I can see needing every bit of time to get packed up Friday. The most realistic scenario is a potential of a Sunday late afternoon pickup. I live in Denver. We're hitting a sweet spot just 45-60 minutes outside of Denver. So an afternoon return is very likely. 😉

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.
That's amazing but I have AT&T so I opted to keep my XS to use for podcasts, music, etc. when I'm working out in the yard or garage and it could fall out of my pocket, say. Keep the new phone pristine and safer. My hands get dirty gardening and working and I touch the phone. AT&T would have given my three hundred and something. My XS is in showroom new condition aesthetically. Still, maybe I'm silly for not trading it in.

I guess I'll still be tethered to Lightning for a bit longer....
 
Unsolicited advice from me. You may not want to pick a phone over your family. Spend the weekend with the family and get the phone Monday. In the end a phone is just a thing. Your family is not.
Haha totally! I'm just having fun here in the thread. I definitely have a healthy understanding of what matter most. Hint: it's not a phone. 😉

Cheers!

So in my family - we have sooooooooooo many July birthdays- so many. And so I think it must be the cool down of the fall that made everyone snuggle up close to get warm..and then....well, July birthdays.
july birthday here...born in the Southern Hemisphere

This will be my 15th time calling UPS in the last several days and nobody will give me a tracking number for "security purposes." So, I'm done. And I'll get the tracking number from Apple tomorrow. I truly hate UPS.
I feel you and sorry you are dealing with it. You also will never get the same answer twice. It feels like a waste of time to contact them, but you know you need to in order to be ready to get delivery of a package with signature demands and a deadline for when it will be returned, etc.

I know UPS delivers oodles of packages, but I question their logistics often. They at times, seem to have a stringent set of rules supported by a support team that is inconsistent.
 
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.
This is correct!
After my post, I called Apple and learned the same: that I could walk in, pickup my 15 Pro and walk home with both my 14 & 15 Pros. I have to return my 14 Pro, to close that loan, to the store (no mail-in available at this point) within 14 days of pickup my 15 Pro.

Cheers!

I'm sure the circle cutouts for the speaker and mic are more structurally sound, but there is just something esthetically pleasing about the look of the pill shape speaker/mic on the iPhone 4/4S. I wish they would go back to that design for them. Especially with all the buttons and USB-C port being pill shaped too.

seriously not trying to start a war here... but why are you mad at UPS? Be mad at Apple... Apple hires UPS to deliver it to you.

All you have to do is sign up for a UPS My Choice Account which is free and you should see all the items being shipped to you via UPS. As long as you put the address in the account that are shipping the iPhones to then you should be good.

Nothing wrong with that! I still have several of my old iPhones too. Mine typically get passed down to the kids and then when they get the next hand-me-down, I usually just keep the old iPhone since there is more sentimental value to me than trade in value.
 
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

May be off topic, but I just wanted to shoutout everyone in this thread. This is definitely the most civil, and respectful thread on MR.
This is besides the point, but I am going through a rough divorce right now, and ever since this thread has populated, it has brought me as much happiness as possible, so thank you, everyone. And thanks for coming to my ted talk. Now, back to apple/tech things 😝
I'll be praying for you.
 
Replacement case for my FineWoven Polishing Bar has arrived:

Impressed by the delivery, the packaging, the build quality. I'm not TOTALLY sold on the button overlays, as they're not floating, don't know if they'll be really stiff to press. They feel springy without a phone beneath it. Even so, it's a good first case, I think!
 
Oh crap! I remembered my AppleTV remote, but forgot about my iMac keyboard which is also lightning. (I hate Apple mice so no worries for me there).
I'm waiting to see what the next gen Apple TV has before replacing my AppleTV remotes with the USB-C version. Hopefully have everything in my home switched away from lightning by the end of next year.
