Other 🇺🇸 USA - Apple.com - iPhone 15/Plus/Pro/Pro Max/ US Pre-Orders, Orders, and Delivery Status Thread

[Wolfs]

Technically not true since it's still The :01 iPhone. It's still being delivered on Friday, but I'm just not going home until Oct. 6th to begin using it. Although, a recent development happened and I may be able to get my hands on it this Saturday or Sunday, but we'll see.

Oh I hope you are able to swing it. And I hope your good karma extends to @Lex404

Yes. Everything you’ve heard is true: The Verge's Apple’s new website redesign FineWoven iPhone cases and accessories are is categorically terrible.

Man, they changed that article quick.

 

[Rafterman]

First time in years I won't be using an Apple branded case. Used ther leather for as long as it existed.

I am just now discovering that peel has a bumper case option. Also a black question mark wouldn't make things too weird I guess. Why must I spend so much on cases to get the right one?

Have you looked at the new Ghost Case from DBrand? Interesting overall design and look. I am tempted to order one for my phone.

Can’t wait to see how Apple will respond to this. The Verge is a big time news source.

Apple will use a reverse psychology method and will say, "it's better for the environment". Carbon!

I know I've said this already somewhere in this thread but I think Apple should have initially introduced FineWoven as a third alternative option at a lower price and allowed people to adjust to it over time. Instead they chose to force it on us as a direct replacement to leather which it comes nowhere close to matching in quality and price.

I'm crying. Thank you, lol.

It's like the whole deal with not including the charger block. They claim it is good for the environment. If it wasn't about money, they would give you the option when ordering to include one at checkout if you need it. But not, they just charge a lot of money for something you used to get free. It's like the government spending money on something and saying it will benefit citizens. Sure that may be true, but that is not the main motive.

100% Agreed.

I still can't believe I paid over $50+ Dollars just so I could charge my iPhone 15 Pro Max with an OEM 5W Apple Charging Adapter. Crazy times we are living in.

 

[Wolfs]

I have had an account for over twenty years now and sadly that’s not how it’s working this year. Many of us with accounts are still not seeing anything.

We totally need a UPS mole. Someone on the inside. Somebody has to know someone…

 

[Catchmyvibeee]

Anyone with an October delivery see a change yet? I'm still hoping we get a bump to Sept.

Negative

Anyone that thought Apple was doing good for the "environment" by not including a charger anymore is just oblivious. They did it because it saves them a crap ton of money in materials, product, shipping, fuel, etc. Smaller, lighter boxes, more boxes to a pallet, etc. Better for their bottom dollar. They sold it as "green" and had the balls to say the phones will still be the same price... as if all consumers are idiots. You leave out the charger, headphones and still charge the same price? Lol

Thanks?

100% Agreed.

But you could have used any A to C cable together with your 5W charging brick...

 

[farmkittie]

Next year's phone:

I remember thinking a couple years or so ago that there would be four lens cutouts instead of three but that hasn't happened. Maybe in the distant future the lenses will be smaller so they can have a bunch of 'em like a fly's eye.

 

[Bananasaurus]

100% Agreed.

I only use OEM Apple Charging Cable. I love Anker but I prefer using Apple only. Apple doesn't produce A to C cable. @Bananasaurus calls this: The Medieval Times Charging Method. 🕰️

Good god that thing is ugly... what an absolute abomination.... It's criminal to put something like that over such a beautiful piece of tech.

I don't either LOL! Let's ask @GrumpyMom

PVD Means Better Protection. I think! Also, This is the first time iPhone in Silver is getting PVD coating.

Sounds like that undercoating the dealers used to try to hard sell when you are signing for your new car purchase. At least in areas where they salt the streets in the winter.

I would have to agree with this statement. Man, that looks really bad IMO

Finally received tracking for my non-pro iPhone 15 and two watches, they are shipping from Lebanon, TN.

Yeah I'm not understanding that either. I would rather someone say they wanted to buy it just to buy it honestly.

Only reason you'd need the dongle is if you already have expensive dongles for your phone (camera/sd/etc).

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

We can't believe it either... 🤣

I don't have any other options left. I like USB-C but I have no choice left.

I refuse to let go of that 5W Apple Charger. That's just how it's going to be. Sorry!

100% Agreed.
