No finish, no capacity. And ahem I was asking the author of the article as they explicitely mentioned the UK.
I have always loved how easy Apple has made the device setup and transfer…. Basically done now….
The iPhone is 17 years old now. The idea that if it’s not immediately selling out or hard to get it’s failing is dumb. Smartphones are a mature product that most people in the developed world have. And they’re good enough now that people don’t need to buy new ones every year.
Absolutely, I am on a two year upgrade schedule, maybe 3 if there is no huge jump in technology, frankly my 14 Pro would have made it another year if the camera package was still disparate… But now basically I am buying the phone for the camera package.
lol… Never before has Apple Time made me laugh harder…
Update: down to a Day now…

Went into London White City (Westfield) Apple Store this morning without a preorder or reservation and picked up a 16 Pro. They had all storage capacities and colours of the 16 Pro in stock. They had NO models of any colour or capacity of the 16 Pro Max - seems that that was the popular one (or they didn't manufacture as many). I didn't ask about the 16.
So much availability because nobody wants that boring POS.
Ever since Covid, delivery companies think it’s perfectly acceptable to be late on shipments.
So for those saying Apple isn’t innovating anymore, boring update, what do y’all want hardware wise? The answers can’t contain 120hz screen across all models or folding models.
Why does Apple do business with them ? UPS is better
I'm probably justifying buying something I don't really need but the trade-in value on my 15 Pro seemed to justify purchasing the 16 Pro.
This isn’t the first year the new phone hasn’t blown away the previous phone IMO. Sounds like it would be more exciting if you upgraded every other year. The iPhone is a mature product and year-over-year innovation isn’t going to be as mind blowing as it was years ago.
There are changes to these new phones, though. More battery life, bigger screens, upgraded cameras, better thermals, Camera Control, etc. It’s not a bad thing to not upgrade every year.
Not sure where all the criticism on the 16 comes from (I'd call it a super 15s) - great internal update on the processor, seriously better thermal management and a bigger display size & batts for both Pro's. The base 16 gets a double jump on the processor.
If you can get worthwhile trade in value (a personal calculation) I'd definitely go for it. Next year the processors stay on the same foundry process and the external size will likely remain the same...its actually a great upgrade from a system hardware perspective.
I'd like to see a book style foldable, maybe a rollable if they can pull it off (this one is a stretch, I know), anything besides the status quo at this point. And I'm not suggesting they replace the current iPhones, I'd just like to see Apple add another option to the lineup.
Just came back from the local Apple Store where I picked up my Apple Watch. There were 2 people in line waiting to buy either the new iPhone or an Apple Watch. Yes, only two. Store was deserted. I have never seen a launch this quiet before.

how far away is the store and does it have convenient parking? I hate it when I go somewhere and have to struggle to park.
