Been excited every year since 2007. One of the few things that bring me joy is the pre-order and delivery/tracking of a new iPhone. Don’t think it’ll ever change for me.

This is so refreshing. Instead of reading, what another pointless upgrade, Apple are doomed, Apple have no innovation, most boring release ever, no one will buy this....it makes such a change to see someone happy and excited. Enjoy your new iPhone buddy.

Why does Apple bring down it’s store for such things? Is it to create hype?
Practically they can just have the store up and start accepting orders when it’s time.
Or is there a specific reason?

So you don’t buy last years model 5 minutes before a new one is released. Most people don’t watch the keynotes or follow Apple News.

It sounds like you’re more driven by FOMO than actually wanting the new phones 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not really, I only bother with a 2-yearly cycle now and would probably have left it for 3 years till the 17 if my 14 battery hadn't been so bad.

I hate all this crap. I never get the phone on release date no matter how quick I get on the app. Always have to wait a month 🙄

Its best this way.

Recent models introduced new gates:

iPhone 14 Pro: Violent shaking camera modules

iPhone 15 Pro: Overheating and overcharging / destroying wireless chargers in cars.
 
Just says Excited? So are we. Please stay on this page until pre-order starts.

Anyone else have this too? Is this normal never done iphone day 1 release?
 
Order placed on the Verizon app by 8:04AM EST. The Verizon app allowed ordering at 7:58EST! Arrives 9/20!
