[Boardiesboi]

Can I see black phone with forest green leather case and elderberry silicone case?

Nice photos. Can we please see Space Black in the Midnight Leather Case?

Sorry my partner went to work with the Space Black already. Will post pics when he's home later today.

Another year another iPhone launch!

I rocked up at 8am this morning and picked up my iPhone 14 Pro Max deep purple at the Apple Store in Sydney Australia. There was a long queue and big crowd and I had to wait 20 mins in line and another 10 in store

First impressions:

• the deep purple is sexy AF. It appears grey in some lighting but turns purple under indoors and under sunlight. It’s more purple than shown in photos and reviews
• The stainless steel band and camera model shimmer under the light and you can definitely tell it’s purple
• The phone feels the same weight in the hands as 13 PM
• Pill cut out sits lower than the notch and is noticeable when you look at the screen / watch videos. Will take some getting used to
• Dynamic island - WOW was my first reaction. Animation is smooth and the bouncy pill cut out when you interact with it is a nice touch. Lots of first party usage already and can’t wait for live scores, Uber tracking and other third party apps to make use of it. Face ID appearing in the island and other status and running apps showing in the island are very well executed
• AOD - not as bright as the reviewers say. Do wish we could change the wallpaper for the AOD, brightness and other settings. Maybe we’ll get it in an iOS update.

I also have the space black for my partner and it is definitely a much darker shade of black than space grey and graphite. A blend between graphite and matte black from the iPhone 7 days. But not as black as that on the space black stainless steel apple watch.

Pics below. Cases include umber, forest green and midnight leather, elderberry silicone and clear case.
Happy to take any questions!

That first shot is amazing--sooo many different purples!

The camera is not that much bigger than the 13PM. Must be the angle of the photos.

Love that your signature is now purple

How’s the forest green case comparing to last year one?

How’s the forest green case comparing to last year one?

It's a dull bluish green and not as vibrant as the sequoia green from last year. I might return it.

Herringbone floor boards, class 👌🏼

Have you seen the Ink Leather? Maybe check it with your deep purple if you return your Forest Green.

 

[gomichaelgo]

It asked me to transfer my current sim from old and new phone. Just need to accept on old phone and the esim was transferred in minutes.

Hmm, what will it ask or have you do if you don't have the old phone any longer?

 

[munakib]

Any chance for some portrait photo comparisons between the 13 Pro vs 14 Pro?

 

[gomichaelgo]

Does anyone know how to setup the new 14's with the eSIM if you don't have your old phone any longer? How does it connect to your service?

disappointed that they didn't come out with the sequoia green...matched my Tacoma Army Green and Green Apple Watch almost perfectly lol

I am going to spend a grip tomorrow on accessories. I have to get matching bands with my cases and finally an Apple wallet in Ink to match the leather case 🤦‍♀️

The black looks awesome. I’m glad I went with space black. Yes u can tell the difference from the graphite and space black.

Orange plaid, he is wearing maroon stripe.

It sure does. Mine comes tomorrow and for the last week, "Smoke on the Water" has been playing in my head.

Purple is nice but i'm not going to lie but not my type tbh. I'm glad I went with Space Black, plus I use the case all the time so it is going to hide the color. And no I don't like clear cases as they tend to yellow after some time of usage which I don't like.

From what I’ve gathered lately the clear case from Apple seems to do really well regarding the yellowing. I purchased one then canceled it since I have a Bullstrap on order. This will be the year that I buy one case.

The Ocean color is going to look amazing with the Space Black 14PM.🤤 I’m actually really pumped for this upgrade. Delivery date is Oct 21 - 28 though. Fat womp.

Someone post the 13 pro max and 14 pro max side by side with the screen on a white background! I want to see those bezel differences, even if they are minimal lol

I’m not a fan of apple clear cases at all.
