Are you going to order the new iPhone 15?

So I read the note on the front page about making sure to update the phone to 17.0.2 before doing a phone to phone transfer. Is it still prompting to do the software update like it did last year during the initial phone to phone Quick Transfer process? If so then it shouldn't be an issue and it should work fine, correct?

The article on the front page almost makes it sound like that process doesn't even work and you phone may hang no matter what you do unless you set up as new then update and then wipe the phone and then do quick transfer again.

For those who set up already and did Quick Transfer does it transfer your current eSIM over during the process or do you get provisioned a brand new eSIM?

Oooooh, so excited I'm out for delivery now. :)

That worked for me. Still doing phone to phone transfer at this point though.... a lot of data to move over.

@lazyrighteye YAY! It looks so pretty. Almost over a month ago, I asked you if you were upgrading and you told me No.. It's up in the air. I'm so glad to see that you upgraded. 2024 is going to be an excellent year for us. Big things are coming our way. Good luck on the job search!!! Take good care of the iPhone.

As always, thank you for all your love and support.
 
I have discoloration on my blue one around the buttons. I’m not sure how to feel about it given this is a $1200 device. No way Apple didn’t know about this prior to launch.
You need to change your brand of “lotion”?

Pick-up window is 2:15…I’ve now got a client meeting at that time. Can I come slightly earlier?

I think it just depends on the store but may be worth a shot. Someone in this thread said they were able to get theirs 20 minutes earlier. Another person in the thread said they saw people get turned away but they showed up a couple hours early.

Great, thank you both!

Our store lets you but they keep the line sorted by pickup times. So if earlier people come right on time or late, and you make it to the front, you'll make it, but you could also get shuffled back if people with earlier slots show up

Heads up, using the expensive Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable made no difference in restoring backup from the Mac directly. Still very slow and I am now late since I thought it would have finished an hour ago lol (iPhone 15 Pro Max)

I too just learned this... thought it was going to fly by.

Do we anticipate next year a thunderbolt cable between iphone 15 and iPhone 16 would still be just as slow or faster?

Maybe I’ll start S2 of Foundation or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
 
As soon as I saw this Natural Ti iPhone I was in love! It’s the best of both worlds. Silver grey on the back with the titanium edges having a hint of gold tint. Love, love, love it!

My amateur pics with cases I’ll keep. Shoutout to @chasers for reminding of the Pearl CaseMate - this blends even better!

Off to get all set up!
