It’s ok. I did that last year. Bought the pro on launch day then exchanged it for the max. Once you go max, you don’t go back. Some may disagree with me though. Lol
Got a tip for us?

Moving back from about 6 years with Android, from S8,S10+,S21 Ultra, Z-Flip 3, back to S21 Ultra
I once tried going back to Pro from the Pro Max and I just couldn't do it. Went back to using Pro Max.
There’s still time! Go for the swap and immerse yourself with battery greatness.
Well, I got hosed by UPS. Delivery date of the 16th. On the 14th I requested a hold on the package at the CC so that I could pick it up in the morning, rather than wait for home delivery, which is usually at 7ish at night in my neighborhood. Friday morning, the tracking showed “request for hold acknowledged” and “out for delivery”. So, which is it? I called the customer support line. It took a while to get past the robot voice and to a human. I was informed it was being held. About a half hour later tracking changed, showing “being held for pickup”. Great! I’m on my way. I get there, they can’t find my package. I’m there close to an hour while they make calls and search in their building, as well as the loading docks facility next door. No package. They blame the facility across town where the package first arrived. (The scans clearly show it arriving at this facility in the wee hours of the morning). They apologize and thank me for being calm and patient. They tell me they will call me in 2 hours, no matter what, to let me know what is going on. Finally, 4 hours later, they call and say the package is no where to be found. They also tell me that I have to call customer support and tell them to put a tracer on it. (Why do I have to initiate this?!) So, I spend several minutes trying to get around the robot voice again, having much more difficulty getting a live person than I did earlier in the morning. While searching the web for ideas on getting to a live person, I see an email for customer support, so I send an email asking for help with the situation. I finally get to a live person and she says no, she can’t put a tracer on the package and asks for my email address. Tells me she is sending me an email and says goodbye. The email is nothing more than a canned message telling me to go on the website and file a claim. About an hour later I get a response from the email I sent to customer support. Their email apologizes for the problem and tells me since it is an international shipment, I can’t file a claim, I have to contact Apple. It’s “pass the buck” at every turn. The CC, of course, is closed all weekend. I’m hoping for a call on Monday morning reporting that it was found on one of the trucks returning on Friday evening after they closed. Most likely, I’m stuck going to Apple and having to start over with an order. UPS only charged me $5.99 for this pleasant experience! How can I be so fortunate?!?!
OMG! Glad you’re ok
I’ve had the 12 & 13 regular versions instead of the Pros due to the weight. However due to the features of the pro this time, I wanted to give it another try. Glad I did, it’s not bad at all. It’s strangely easy to hold so you don’t feel the weight as much, if that makes sense.
FWIW, I ordered from Xfinity Mobile on the 13th. From the order confirmation I received, they were expecting shipment on 10-7. This afternoon I received a shipping notice with expected delivery on Wednesday.
I am curious, do carriers just take orders for the phones and then forward that order to Apple which then does the actual shipping? That would seem like the most efficient way to do it but you never know.

I used to set my phone down face up, but I wonder if users will end up setting their phones down face down, which Apple says would turn off AOD. I have started to do this (even though my 14PM hasn’t come in yet). I think the usefulness of AOD will become apparent as time goes on, and depending on circumstances.
I have my phone set to “tap to wake”, so AOD will be nice for me if I can get quick info without having to unlock the phone.
I’ve had a couple Plus phones. I know the 7 Plus. I think the 6S Plus too. Hurts my hand when I use it with one hand 🤣
So it continues. Now looks like whatever it is they are doing is coming from Louisville…again. Not sure if they actually found my package or are hastily sending me a replacement or if it’s a ghost shipment. Official tracking status at least no longer says delivered but on its way.
Check out Best Buy. They have plenty available.
😂 just like last year, this thread completely died.
This is one of the more interesting trackings I have seen and sorry you are going through this.
I am myopic when I say this from experience. I don’t think UPS could replace the package this quickly. However. Based on the claim I am assuming they know what type of device you had.
When you get the iPhone and you have AppleCare or a payment plan make sure the serial numbers match. If not, it will create a mess.
Mentioned this a few times here so apologies to mention it again but my iPhone was stolen at UPS last year before it ever got to me. It was part of a large amount of iPhones stolen. It showed on my tracking as “customer refused delivery” my UPS driver thought it was a trade in box because it was empty and then saw a slit across the bottom.
Last year, my claim still had Apple sending me the replacement device. Of course things can change this year but the fact it shows delivered is the interesting thing for me and I am not sure if you will ever get the answer unless you know the UPS delivery person.
At least we made it to 920 pages and will reach 23k posts too. Not too shabby!
Ahhh! This is a tough call. They both look
So good. I say, keep both and switch them out based on the vibe.
Of course 😂 but it's going to be tough. I think we will get there but it's going to take time. A really long time!
Yeah. Would be cool to have people in different delivery windows (once they know them) to take the lead to give those waves the same experience as the initial deliveries. It’s time consuming of course and might be tough to find the volunteers that would have the time to do that.
@jr866gooner I don't think you read every single post tho. Because someone suggested it would take this many hours 😝 see the post below. You also ignored Tim Cook's response. 👀
The Dynamic Island “bounces” differently depending on how hard you close an app!
Remarkable achievement within just a week. This thread was on fire and it’s still is. Fastest growing thread.
I told y'all 90% of the people leave, 😂 . Wonder if people will post when iPhone 14 Plus goes on sale. Anyone out there waiting for that?
