Did you ever sign up for cloud storage. I've had a 200gb plan for years. I wonder if storing on the cloud doesn't drain the battery as much. I'm not tech smart. Just thinking. I charge my 11 pro and 12 pro all the way before I go to bed.
Leave them unplugged over night. Use both phones till noon. Check the batteries on both, And they are the same.

I did actually increase my iCloud storage. I have both of my phones with me right now and the X gets more notifications than my 12 does. I didn’t transfer data over and I’m missing a lot of contacts so I’m not logged out on the X just yet.

I’m at 50% at the moment on the 12. I last charged it to 88% at 3:30 yesterday and my Last full charge to 100% was the night before at 10 pm.

I’m using a 20w Anker brick with the lightning cable that came with the phone and my younger brother text me saying that he only uses “Apple certified chargers”.

My MagSafe charger delivers on the 3rd.

I need to learn better charging habits, I think. I hate letting my phone drop below 50% so I’m struggling over here.

I’m leaning toward deliver and then holding at my local UPS center again to grab first thing in the morning. COVID cases skyrocketing who knows which Apple stores will be open even in express capacity in two weeks.

That's a good idea! They just opened our stores on Oct 20th. You can't go inside. They have like bank teller windows.
The virus numbers keep climbing again. I'm worried they will close also.

I think most apple stores are doing to start doing the bank teller windows settings. I think think they should remain open but do more of a curbside pick up (I believe some apple store does a curbside pick up).

I'm just experimenting. Normally I would charge while I sleep. I got the same case. It sucks! Hard trying to push buttons. Check out the Huckberry Rugged leather iPhone case. And beautiful accessories.

I’m already on the hunt! Thank you for the recommendation. I want to love the clear MagSafe case but the buttons suck and there’s zero grip. I’m excited to try out the MagSafe charger... I bet it won’t be a big deal not to have the MS case.

The slipperiness bugs more more than the buttons do.

Thanks for your input. ☺️

I like both, but I’ve been asking Apple for a blue iPhone for a few years now. On every survey Apple sends me where they ask about additional thoughts: I want a blue Pro Max! One year they asked about colors and blue was an option. I was so disappointed when Midnight Green was introduced instead - I figured it was the military vote that won out or something. But this year? OH YES, THIS IS MY YEAR!! Pacific Blue finally manifested! YES! Plus, I hate to say this, but Pacific Blue could be a one-and-done given Apple’s current history with retaining/changing colors each year.

As for cases, I have more than enough that will work with my PB PM. Blue isn’t that hard to match. The issue (as always) is finding quality cases that you like. Now, my husband has the Graphite. It’s sleek and goes with anything. He bought a black Caseology Parallax case that looks great. It has the whole Dark Knight look to it.

Try letting the cases decide. If the cases you like the most would work better with Graphite, go with that. Otherwise, Pacific Blue which is really the only correct option here, lol.

I ordered the Nomad rugged leather iPhone case from Huckberry. Thinking about getting matching AirPods case.

My son’s PB phone shipped on the 28th, transited via Incheon, delivered on the 30th. Fast!

My daughter’s silver shipped 10/30, immediately departed to and has been stuck in Shanghai ever since.

My husband’s shipped on 10/31 and is still in ZZ.

I would like to know who my son paid off! No rhyme or reason to how any of these are shipping. It may be dependent on cargo slots/airspace.

Finally received my iPhone 12 PRO Max Screen Protector. Its a huge difference between the Pro model to Pro Max.

Man I’m not ready to hold another heavy phone LOL 12 pro max here we come think I’m going to get gold this time even though it’s underwhelming, it’ll look the best in cases by far

He’s looking for a nice leather case as well. He wants something other than Apple this time around. I’ll send him to Nomad to take a look! Thanks!

What brand did you order?

The ones I ordered don’t have the notch cutout this year.

I'm the opposite. After two years of spending 2+ hours in line with an "appointment" to pick up my phone with the iPhone Upgrade Program I said "never again" when they started allowing us to have our phone shipped to us.

I had the exact same issue. Waited over 2 hours with an appointment to pick up my iPhone. I agree. I will always have the phone shipped to my home now. Besides, it’s fun following its progress here with everyone! I am excited to order my Gold 12 Pro Max soon. My daughter is anxious to get my XS Max too, which still has 97% Battery Capacity.

A part of me thought I was settled on Graphite but now a part of me is debating PB again. The main reason I want graphite is because I never got to own a slate iPhone 5. This was going to be my “finally” moment in a way.

Decisions, decisions.

I had the slate iphone 5, and it was my favorite.
When I looked at both 12 Pros at the Apple Store, PB looks closer to Slate than the graphite particularly with the dark blue band. The band on the graphite looks gray -ish, and I think my PB 12 Pro looks very sleek and dark in a variety of light.
