Mine just changed back to that. Maybe that means they’re getting things ready.
Well talking to another friend just now he said the bug is only on phone to phone transfer in quick start but If I choose option of transfer from iCloud I a still safely use quick start. Since apple offered me space to upload to cloud for this with my new phone purchase I am going to use that and am currently backing my phone up to the cloud. The cloud has same encryption as the macbook backup also
I did finally get my ready for pick up email like at 1:22 am. It doesn’t hurt to visit the apple store and see if their end says ready for pick up. Had that happen to my usb c to lightning adapter order.
Hold for pickup worked! Gonna grab it on my way to work and then head into the clean room to install the screen protector!
This was me for the longest time. X to 11 PM, to 12 PM. The 12 pushed the weight issue for me, and the 13 & 14 PM were both heavier. I took a step back to the 13 Pro, and stayed with that size to the 14 Pro. Battery has been fine. I’ve only had issues making it through a full day on travel days (I travel for work, and with my wife some too). I guess I use my phone more on those days. I picked up a MagSafe battery while traveling in Italy, and needing to navigate. But any normal day - I have no issues getting through the whole day on a single charge.
Honestly, the biggest reason I’m going back to the 15 Pro Max is the fact that it dropped in weight, and is just ever so slightly heavier than my 14 Pro that I carry with me now. That and as a photographer - I wanted to play with the new 5x 120mm lens. 😉 That said, it could be a huge mistake too. Good news is, as someone who upgrades yearly (and drives my wife nuts about it), I only have to deal with it for a year if I don’t like it. 😂
Got my pickup confirmation at 11:11 pm yesterday. Apple read my note about them coming in before midnight!
Cheers fellow NYC.
Mine shows that too again. Maybe it’s at 9am PT that they open the store pickup option.
Anyway not sure why I’m trying so hard. I have a 15 Pro on the way already. Just wanted to try the 15 Pro Max even tho I’m sure I’ll return it cause it’s huge lol

Yup, I have became a dad! So sleepless nights are nothing but simple now 😂😂
Since I am trying to avoid the quckstart iOS 17 bug gonna do it and choose option of from iCloud as I am backing up to this as I write using the free space they gave me to use with my new phone purchase. (You can choose from backup on mac also). This is what encrypted icloud and mac backup look like interesting article I am sharing for all you with new phones

This article gives a clear explanation of what is and isn't stored in iPhone and iCloud backups, and the factors that ensure more or less is stored in your backup.

It was like that for me with my first kiddo. Second one was a lot better.

On the 13 Pro and iOS 15, battery was great. On iOS 16, both 13 Pro and 14 Pro were horrible for battery life. I spent a week constantly looking for new stock in Apple Stores to exchange my 14 Pro for a 14 Pro Max before my 14 Pro return window ended.
I didn’t even really want the Pro Max size as I enjoyed the ergonomics of the smaller size, but I knew I’d be super unhappy if I had to deal with that battery life for a year. And it’s only get worse over time with battery degradation.
Maybe it improved with later versions of iOS 16 and with iOS 17, but I’m not willing to risk it. The extra battery life of the Pro Max is worth the downsides to me, especially considering my 14 Pro Max battery life hasn’t even been great. Plus the larger display is nice. Can’t see myself downsizing again anytime soon unless Apple majorly improves battery life like in the 11 series and 13 series.
