Got my 15 PM and had some issues transferring my number to the new device (I opted to get a device for any carrier). AT&T kept saying this could not be done online and I needed to call the carrier (which of course has tremendous wait times). I then thought that maybe my pending bill (on autopay) was the reason as there was the last month's outstanding balance. So I paid it off and voila - the number transferred. AT&T is so crazy to not just show a blurb saying pay the balance off (in any event, why does that even matter when I am staying with the same carrier and have auto pay enabled?).

Just an FYI for those that might face this issue. Pay the bill off and then try.

Verizon was absolutely flawless. Put in my Pin and transfer took 3 mins.

Got my 15+, 15 pro max and ultra 2 around 11:45 am.

Driver was super helpful.

Then went to Apple Store to pick my wife’s 15 pro max..

Was crowded but management was good.. in and out in 40 minutes after setting up new and trading in 14..

Everything good, just loading apps now.
Here it is in her new case.
I really like the white. Tomorrow husband and I will get gutsy and fight the crowds to go to the Apple Store to get a good look at the other colors as well as the other new products like FineWoven. I want to see in person.

My wife got the white titanium 15 Pro. It looks cool, but not as cool as my Natty Ti 😉

She only uses clear cases, so I got her this one from Amazon. It appears to be a Tech21 knockoff, but it’s very solid and fits perfectly.

View attachment 2276744 Blue 15PM in hand. Impressions: it’s notably lighter for sure. Additionally, the curved edges make it feel way better in hand. The blue is excellent looking. It shifts color a little bit depending on the light it’s in.

Phone is currently downloading the 17.0.2 update. It failed to move my number over (ATT) but I’m sure it’s just heavy network traffic and will work later today.

That’s it for now…
I gotta say that phone looks a bit big for your trusted side kick to be using. I would have gotten him the 13 mini.

Received my Pro Max Blue today via UPS. Luckily I read on MR to update to 17.0.2 before transferring from ’old’ phone to the 15. Everything went flawless. Only minor thing is that I used an app that I can’t download anymore from the store. Makes you miss the old iTunes option to load apps from there. So far, happy to make the upgrade from a Xs Max.

Nah it’s like voting, I made it inside the store before 8 so it was all good
Good to hear, I knew once you’re in line you’re good because…

I remember when the 3G came out, I happened to be at the mall that day and saw the line went all the way outside. So I went to see how far it went…pretty far!

I said something to the Apple guy at the end of the line, and he just said, “lines closed” and I walked away since I wasn't planning to get it.

Some guy leaving the mall with a new iPhone saw me and said, “he kick you out? Here, take this, just walk right in, skip the line“ and handed me some kind of AT&T VIP ticket.

I’m like, seriously? Do I actually want to buy one today?

So anyway, that’s how I ended up with my first iPhone. :)

OK, all set up now! Setting up cards later was definitely key. Do note that if you're using something like Microsoft Authenticator or RSA Authenticate, that some accounts will need new QR code setups. My eSIM transfer problem appears to have been what I speculated before - it was already transferred.

On to some pics! I have a Spigen protector on, installed easily.

My only criticism thus far is the cutouts - they are trying to preserve space for the USB cutout, and the edge hugs a speaker grille hole on each side. Still works well though:

Cheers for now, all!

The Aoole employee who helped trade in old device said that all pro maxes for the day were gone around 1:30 pm and there was a long line for walk-in folks ! Pro max is huge hit this year

I am yet to set my Uw2 and 15 pm

So I ran into this as well. I’m still paying off a 13 pro. Bought my 14 pro last year unlocked and had zero issues activating. Today with the 15PM the att guy is telling me I need to pay the balance of my 13 pro. I refused. I paid for my 15PM in full. Needless to say they activated my phone. Att trying to be sneaky.
