I figured it would haha. Blue is perfect and that green is just too bright, imo.

I tried them back in the day, buttons were mid and the leather had an uneven lip around the front. That and I don’t want to wait till the end of July for delivery, I can barely wait for my coffee to be ready 😂

Gonna give mine a good clean again later.
I do like the green a lot but I just can’t justify spending £50 on a case when I’m getting a new phone in two months
Amen to this! Gotta protect this mini computer that I pay A LOT of money for and use multiple times a day. Screen protectors always seem to save me.
I'm exactly the same way: I'm literally thinking about upgrading to an 18 Pro Max just because that tiny bastard of a dot on my antenna band is driving me nuts. 🤣🤣🤣 This is WEIRD!
Today's price hike is making me think twice now. Do I really need a new iPhone?
Ai really screwing us up.

I saw they were raising prices on MacBooks and iPads due to rising storage costs. Are iPhones going up too?

I'd accept a price increase of £100, or around £5 a month when paying monthly. Any more than that, then I'd seriously consider sticking with the 17 Pro.
Hopefully becuase the was a price increase last year, there won't be this year.
In my head, I'd like to be able to find it in myself to be able to stick with the 17 Pro until the monthly payments are done and then get the latest phone then, trade in the 17 pro with Apple to reduce the monhtly cost significantly.
I am with you. I think price increase will be north of £150.
Usually I sell my device 2-3 weeks before keynote but this year Im going to keep hold of it until is announced and confirmed.

I might go 18 base. Held a co worker 17 base today and wow feels so much lighter than my 17Pro.

I think there has to be justifiable features to have an increase such as that.
Not just bigger storage, better chip, slightly better camera.

Yeah, the higher spec’d models could easily see a >$200 price increase.

I wouldn’t expect anything more than the slight upgrades you mentioned, if even those. This is about the chip shortage.
And we here in the EU aren't even getting the full version of the new Siri. 😢😢

I know there's Caudabe angst in this here thread, but just wanted to say meekly I received the celestial blue Sheath (precise) that I ordered early last week for my newly purchased 17 Pro (which was ordered last weekend & delivered only 48 hours ago). My plan was to have the Sheath on hand when the 17 Pro was delivered...
Since the Sheath shipment was (shortly, it turns out) delayed, this past weekend I ordered a Spigen Tough Armor T Magfit case from Bezos as a temporary solution as at the time I had no idea how long it'd take for the Sheath to be shipped (the Spigen was delivered same time as my 17 Pro). The Sheath is less bulky, of course, and I do really like the grip I get due to its texture, especially in comparison to the somewhat slippery Spigen case.
The latter though, tbh, is not a bad case at all, IMO.
FWIW, after close inspection, my Caudabe Sheath appears perfect in construction; no sagging, buttons work perfectly... I know, that's no comfort to anyone who's received a shoddy product from them.

Seems like Pro’s don’t have issues for the most part. Seems like the Max’s do for some reason.

Just got my Eucalyptus Sheath. Perfectamundo!
