I’m an afternoon pick-up time, if you’re in the morning, please let me know your thoughts! I’m probably gonna try to snag a 1TB blue for in store pickup tomorrow AM and then cancel one when I’m there.
Got a tip for us?

I think the unibody design aids in the heat distribution, so it works in combination with the vapour chamber. I agree though that the design they’ve gone with is ugly, and doesn’t give me Apple vibes.
Excuse my crude mockup, but I feel like they could have still had a unibody frame with a full glass back or done something along the lines of the iPhone 5, both of which would have looked better than this cutout design to my eyes.
Interesting... I don't mind the new design but I'm interested to see how they refine it mainly the rumored transparent back. I always get white/silver (15PM WT) so I'm not quite sold yet 🤔
I didn’t realize they’re still doing SIM cards in Australia.
What’s strange to me about the design is the off-center Apple logo with the two-tone design. It looks like there’s a battery pack attached to it.
I think the official cases actually center the Apple logo, no?
Edit: I wish it were in black.

Yeah it’s weird as the phone itself has a lower Apple logo but the case has the logo higher up.
Not really thin. It’s like the Apple silicone case in terms of thickness
I have a different take on the design topic. I always shove my phone in the biggest, most bulky & rugged case I can find due to being a dairy farmer who happens to also be clumsy (guaranteed phones gonna fall in the gutter full of manure within a week) lol. The design doesn’t matter to me as long as the phone doesn’t lose its durability. My hubby gets my 2 yr old phone when I update so a design that can last 4 years is what’s important to us.
You need glass for magsafe wireless charging and aluminum for heat dissipation. The actual design is what ended up being the most effective. Apple chose utility over form for the Pro series, which is understandably not to everyone's liking.
It is just... shockingly ugly. I still cannot believe it's a real release from apple
We don’t have an Apple store in NZ however all three phone carriers in my local ****** mall all had display stock and I presume plenty of stock… I had a hands on with all the new models… I really like the cosmic orange but also the blue Pro… The Air in black was also very cool… but the green iPhone was my favourite…
There are apparently a lot of people who can't even seem to imagine that there are a lot of other people who live and work in places and jobs where their phones get dirty, dusty, wet, beat up and bounced around, and where a sturdy case is a virtual necessity.
That’s a big reason why I have an iPhone, androids never lasted more than 6 months for me. I appreciate the people that value the aesthetics of phones, they have the sorta jobs and lives us dirty folks would be horrible at, sitting at a desk is a form of torture to us! But that’s what’s been great about iPhones, they’ve built a phone that looks nice enough for folks to not put a case on it and strong enough to survive a cow stepping on it.
Off topic but that Masour Ojjeh collection is absolutely bonkers!The orange looks okay, but was hoping it would be closer to "Yquem" aka "Mansour Orange" on the special McLaren cars built for Mansour Ojjeh:

If they had one in that colour, I'd have it right away.
Looks like an entry level cheap phone.
But silver looks cheap and basic. Looks like an entry level $199 cell phone.
In your opinion. I think it looks really nice! I’m not upgrading this year but I would 100% choose silver as it looks classy and elegant, imo.
First time I've thought an iPhone doesn't look good case less.. Using two different materials on the back was a mistake at this price point. Compared to previous Pro's they lost the premium look IMO. Hopefully they look better in real life compared to pictures posted so far online
After stainless, and then titanium, aluminum feels like a major downgrade. I know Apple is talking about thermals, but I have to wonder if the real reason for the switch was to create a differentiation between the Pro and the more luxurious Air.
After seeing these photos I'm even more excited to pick up my Cosmic Orange ProMax in the morning. I think they looks awesome!
In response to DesertSilver, I know, perhaps if we could pool our money... We might be able to afford the 675LT. The F1 will probably go for USD$50mil - that's if they go individually. I suspect the lot will go together, probably for more than USD$100m.
The whole lot are beautifully finished. If I could have any of them for sure the P1 or the F1, money no object of course.
Sadly that kind of $$$ is out of my league.
This could be a business thing for Apple, bespoke customised iPhones and other devices. Special cases, special colours, etc. "Apple Special Operations" division.

Just got an email from Apple that my order is ready for pickup tomorrow - 17PM in orange!!
