Did you forget 4 to 4S, 5 to 5S, or 6 to 6S?
With every new product launch, we get a similar story with the same opening paragraph -- one that ignores several other countries in "early" time zones. For instance, Japan will officially* get the phones an hour after they are released in Australia, and India a few hours after that. Just sayin'...
(*In fact, it's a good bet that customers in Japan will begin receiving their pre-orders well before customers in Australia, simply because Japan isn't in a strict lockdown and so delivery services aren't nearly as restricted.)
Wow the gold is actually really gorgeous! Sort of iridescent.

It shipped with the rc build but has the update as soon as you turn it on to the new public one
Mine turned up with a bug that for some reason has lost connection with my wifi and won't reconnect. Very odd..installing this RC build update over cellular to see if that fixes the issue.
Most boring and predictable response in troll history.
Identical situation here, Melbourne Australia. Tracking says monday, im hoping for today.
Fingers crossed, i want something new and shing in my life😂
Sooooo…..you acknowledge that Australians do, in fact, get the iPhone first.
What exactly is your point?
Most boring comment in MacRumors history.
Apple in UK usually do next day replacement for faulty devices. If you can walk into a store tomorrow/today maybe they can replace straightaway with another retail unit.
Thank you! If you have an iPhone 11 (or iPhone 12, WTF) series, this phone was not for you.
I don‘t understand why some people think they need to upgrade phones and watches every f*cking year. It makes no sense to me. Like I saw so many complaints from Watch Series 6 owners talking about how lame the Series 7 was, and now they won’t have FOMO since they don’t need to buy it. First, who gets FOMO from a damn watch, and why would you ever feel like you need to upgrade all this tech every single year?
At the amount these things cost, they better be lasting 2-3 years if not more. Smartphones in general are pretty mature at this point and anyone with an iPhone XS or prior should see enough benefit in the iPhone 13 line. For everyone else, the incessant complaining is exhausting and stop expecting INNOVATIVE LIFE CHANGING phones every year.
Damn public holiday!
Due to Apple Store (and Apple Store App) glitchiness on pre-order launch day, I didn’t get to pre-order until 11pm (1 hour later).
Am only due to pick up from Apple Doncaster on Sunday. 😒
iPhone 13 Pro Max is so HUGE its hard to tell which is the phone and which is the iPad.
In a few years, everyone will just use their iPad "Mini" as their phone and everyone will think its normal.

I'm definitely not ignoring Japan or other Asian countries, it's just that when this thread gets posted, it's generally at a time when it's still too early for deliveries in Japan.
I posted this at 2:39 p.m Pacific Time, which was 6:39 a.m. in Japan and as far as I know, too early for iPhone deliveries or for Apple Stores to be open. It was 9:39 a.m. in NZ, after deliveries started. I don't post until I hear from someone in NZ that has had their device delivered, and that usually happens shortly after 9:00 a.m. there.
This is looking good - my first iPhone was gold and I think a gold 13 would be a good tribute. Nice taste. You've almost sold me!
Picked mine up from Sydney Australia this morning. Sierra blue is gorgeous and definitely not a baby blue. It’s a steel/glacial blue and absolutely stunning.
First impressions:
First impressions:
- The new phone feels does not feel any heavier in the hands than the 12 Pro Max
- The smaller notch is not that noticeable. But the font size in the status bar on either side of the notch seems to have increased, and they've moved it down from the top of the display. Why not keep the same font and position and add an extra icon or two?
- Sierra blue is absolutely stunning in person. It looks more steel / ice / glacial blue and not so much baby / powder blue. The colour on that stainless steel band is beautiful. Like the Pacific Blue last year, you get different colours in different lighting conditions
- Promotion display - Just WOW. Never had a Samsung 120Hz screen before so I didn’t even realise how smooth scrolling, swiping between pages on the Home Screen and watching videos can be. It’s worth every penny and is very noticeable even to untrained eyes like mine.
- Display is cooler than the 12 Pro Max display and no yellow tint when put side by side against each other.
- It pairs perfectly with the Apple dark cherry and sequoia green leather case,
- MagSafe magnet attachment does not seem any stronger than last year

I am interested how you will measure this - is it on phones per capita delivered before noon? Median delivery time relative to Greenwich Mean time, adjusted for daylight savings? Would you measure it differently based on models given the pro max is heavier than the pro and thus takes more energy to transport? Would you factor in median distance from point of entry to the country as well?
