What time do preorders normally start?

For many years pre-orders were at 12:00 AM PT / 3:00 AM ET on the pre-order date, however, for the past several upgrade cycles Apple has moved the pre-order time to 5:00 AM PT / 8:00 AM ET.

If you already are on the iPhone Upgrade Program and would like to turn in your current phone to upgrade to your new phone Apple will have a pre-qualification period for a day or two prior to the order date that will allow you to choose your phone configuration, complete all the loan paperwork and pre-qualify for your new Citizen's Loan with a credit check before the pre-orders go live. Then on pre-order day you simply wake up at 8:00 AM and find one final checkout button click it and you're done. :)

That will likely be another underwhelming, but overpriced iPhone. The maxed out model will likely costs around €2.499 in Germany, because there will be a price bump of about 200 Euros anyway and another 200 more for the new 2 TB option. So basically an iPhone for the price of a MacBook Pro. Crazy times.
 
Question, Does anybody know/guess the full frame equivalent focal lengths of the iphone 15 pro max's lenses? (i.e. wide, normal x6 zoom? Non-digital) Cheers

Found this on 14
  • 13mm (0.5x ultrawide lens)
  • 24mm (1x main lens)
  • 48mm (2x main lens)
  • 77mm (3x telephoto lens)
so 15 should be

  • 13mm (0.5x ultrawide lens)
  • 24mm (1x main lens)
  • 48mm (2x main lens)
  • 154mm (6x telephoto lens)??
Thats not a bad focal range

So is it on September 12, 2023 or not? I don’t like the word, “likely.”

Also, why throw this curve ball at us?

Gurman: obviously things can still theoretically change.

What does that mean??? 🤔😵‍💫
It means that he’s desperately trying to stay relevant whilst simultaneously safeguarding his predictions by using vague wording.
 
iPhone 13 Pro user here, pondering the mysteries of the universe and the upcoming iPhone 15. They say it's got this fancy new USB-C charging feature, like it's the latest craze in phone dancing or something. But I've got MagSafe wireless charging at home, in my car, even in my top-secret underground lair.

Why does USB-C matter, you ask? Well, it's like asking why the chicken crossed the road. Maybe it's a philosophical statement about universal connectivity, or maybe they just needed a new letter of the alphabet to keep things fresh.

Tthe iPhone 15 seems like a modern marvel, like a sandwich without bread. Is it an advancement? Perhaps. Necessary? Only if you're trying to impress your pet hamster with your cutting-edge tech-savviness. Otherwise, I'll stick to my iPhone 13 Pro and the mysteries of existence that come with it.

USB-C matters because every other phone uses it. So many households will have different products types, not just Apple. Many businesses in the same situation. Many cars here now have USB-C ports. There’s still far more USB-C phones being sold than iPhones. So it’s more of a convenience piece to have USB-C / one type of connection. You might have MagSafe everywhere, but it’s not for everyone at all times. Sometimes you need / want a fast charging solution or need to transfer data via cable.

September 12 seams like the date according to the following calculation:

iOS beta 5 was released on August 8 with a build number ending with 'd'.

We are now going with weekly releases so we will have:

beta 6 on August 15 with a build number ending with 'c'
beta 7 on August 22 with a build number ending with 'b'
beta 8 on August 29 with a build number ending with 'a'
RC on September 5, followed by official public build on September 12 - the day of the event.

Or I could be wrong ...

My Apple Card will be ready by then. Silver Pro Max 256.
You guys have an Apple Card (insert meme.png)? We don’t have an official Apple Store (Online only).

Thanks I'm coming from an iPhoneX HAHA so not on any upgrade plan and haven't bought a phone in a while. When I get this one. I'll probably keep it until Apple does something like FaceID/Camera under the screen or some gotta have feature. I do plan on getting an Apple Card soon and using it to order as long as they still have the interest free but will probably pay it off in 2-3 months and I guess use from now on for app store and apple purchases.
I hope they stick to the 8:00 ET time which is 7 my time. I can deal with that a little better than 2AM
Thanks again.

One piece of advice I would give you is to install the Apple Store app on your phone and upgrade that way, it will detect all of your information already and from my experience I've heard of people having website issues the day orders go live, but I have never had an issue getting my order in using the app from the phone I am upgrading from.

Good luck on pre-order day. :)

Thanks I'll do that.
Quick question about upgrading. Let's say I want to transfer all my imessage or text but I don't currently backup imessages to the cloud. Isn't there a way to copy the phones now as long as they're next to each other? Will it also do my esim at that set up point?
Guess I need to go watch youtube lol
