First iPhone 13 and iPad Mini Orders Arriving to Customers in New Zealand and Australia

Just got my 256 Pro Silver. Made the opposite move. Pro Max > Pro. Love the portability. Will miss the screen but that’s the trade off😊

You young thing you with your better eye sight! Old man here needs the larger screen these days.

Not fair. They get all the koala bears, and now this.

I can't wait to get mine later.

It's now clear these new iPhones are the best Apple has ever made. And iPhone 13 is a generational leap ahead of everything that came before it.

This is correct. For some reason, DHL outsource their launch day stuff to NZ Post. They did it last year and have done it this year too.

DHL Piece number JDXXX.. can be used to track on NZ Post. Expect it to come today.. they get penalised pretty badly if they don't deliver on launch day.

Interesting. I sure hope they get penalised as I didn’t get mine today

It’s 6pm now, very disappointed!

What I didn’t realise until mine arrived was the difference it makes with the shiny edges. Quite something, especially in gold.

I hope so too! They shouldn’t advertise it would arrive at a certain date if they can’t deliver. Even tried to use Australian postal strike as one of their excuses when it’s got nothing to do with it. My parcel had already arrived in NZ yesterday 🤨

Exactly. They also like to blame it on COVID 🤨

Hang in there. Mine didn’t arrive till after five.

13 Pro Graphite has arrived here in Australia — not as dark as I'd thought it would be. Quite different in different lighting environments. ProMotion is great, and Cinematic Mode is mixed as you'd expect. Sadly it's locked to 30fps even with Show PAL Formats on and a 25fps option chosen.

Hoping someone in Australia can post a pic of a Starlight Mini. Even better would be next to a silver iDevice to see the diff! hoping hoping hoping

I have a 12 mini white and got the 13 mini starlight. They are identical in colour both in the back and band. Absolutely no colour difference.

Interesting. The starlight on the watch and iPad mini look kinda champagne.

Ok thanks that's good to hear. I was worried the Starlight colour was slightly cream or off white.

The problem is that….. the camera bump is too big and my Mophie wireless charging base doesn’t let the phone sit properly. It has a gap and it gets super hot after a few minutes. Say goodbye to your battery health..

I’m currently waiting in line at a Massachusetts Apple Store. There are 3 people ahead of me and just 4 people behind me. Looks like it’s going to be a quiet morning. Crossing my fingers that they’ll have a new mini in stock.

Update: I’m getting in right when the store opens and I’ll be walking out with my new mini! Woohoo!

I disagree - I feel that was the iPhone 8 or the iPhone 6S but yeah. Hooray opinions!

I would say the 6S was a mega jump from the 6. The iPhone 8 that I am using now after giving my 12Pro to dad is way better than the 7 too. The chip can use all cores at the same time, along with True Tone, and wireless charging. The iPhone 6 & 7, which i also have at home are trash vs their S counterparts.

Enjoy your new iPhones everyone!!!

Look at that notch! Such a disgrace in 2021.

It's September 24 in Australia and New Zealand, which means it's officially iPhone 13 launch day. Customers in New Zealand and Australia are always the first to get their hands on new devices due to time zone differences.

Does anyone know where to get the bright blue silicone case that is in this picture? I am pretty sure that for the iPhone 13 there is no Capris Blue like there was for the iPhone 12. I am in search of this case, actually, to replace the Capris Blue iPhone 12 Pro case that I have for the 13 Pro that is arriving today...

Ordered on release day, but mine isn't arriving until Wednesday next week. Typical Bell.ca, typical Canada.

It just showed up, no updates
