Ok, and I agree, but is buying network traffic once a year to cover higher bandwidth even a thing for businesses? If it is, then you're right, and they're not doing what they can to help out. If not, then I assume Apple considers all the people they upset due to network bandwidth issues on iPhone release day as collateral damage.
What are you folks doing with your phones? The iPhone I bought this morning replaces my iPhone 11, which on a quick search has a battery rated at 3110mah. The 11 has a max capacity of 87% as I type this. And at the end of the day, having unplugged it in the morning at 6:30am, at 11pm it STILL has 20+% power. The 15 Pro has a battery rating of 4422mah. I expect to never want for a charger again during the day. The 14 Pro had 4323mah. That's astounding battery life compared to what I've been using the last number of years.
Some apps like Snapchat are battery hogs. So if you live your life on social media or game a lot on it, your battery won't be that great.
That could explain it. I jettisoned all social media years ago starting with Facebook. Yet another reason social media is the devil. Also not particularly a gamer. I suppose that's what folks are doing with their phones. 🙂 I only really play one game and it's on my PS3. I don't think I'd enjoy gaming on that small a screen.
I'm the same way. I still have to charge my phone mid-late afternoon to make it through the rest of the day on my 12 Pro and my battery health is 84%. I do a lot of tethering, email, web, phone and text. I use the camera a bit too. The camera can eat your battery alive as well.
I have a buddy that works for Best Buy and he said their store was super late opening up to preorders, so that may be why.
I went through the Apple preorder mess this morning. Got bumped to Oct 4th - 9th. I don’t have an Apple Store anywhere near me, but Best Buy does show available to pick-up at our store for next Friday. Real tempting to cancel order and go with Best Buy now…
I had a Verizon preorder that I cancelled to do a Best Buy in store pickup, so I understand the temptation all too well...
It looks like the Best Buy website tries to push the trade-in and upgrade through AT&T website. That dumps me into their monthly promotion, which I don’t want since it extends for 36 months. Is that what you came across?
Oh I didn’t even upgrade yet. Im
It pushed me to Verizon’s 36 month promotional credit (which I’m fine with.) But it looks like I’m starting to see dates and stock availability updating now. So hopefully it wasn’t fake.
Is yours showing pushing out now? I bit the bullet and paid outright to avoid the 36 months. I’ll just sell my other. But I cancelled Apple Order.
I disagree. I tried to order for 15 Minutes and as it didn’t worked I gave up and decided that my 13 Pro Max still does the job very well. And two of my friends did the same. Apple lost three iPhone sales because of the bad store experience. At least for now.
I see some models are pushed out a couple of days from release, but still some that are available on release date. Hopefully Best Buy comes through
