Other Less than 12 hours to go…

[EW800]

Well, we have less than twelve hours to go. I cannot help but wonder what we will experience as far as any server overloads, ship dates starting to slip, what colors will run out and such!

I will be ordering the Sierra Blue 256GB through Apple. I know we have no idea what supply quantities look like, however it will be interesting to see how quickly ship dates start to ship on this new color and the phones in general!

If it’s anything like the last couple years (and it probably will be) you will get one on release day as long as you pre order it in the first hour.

Good luck I hope it all goes smoothly for you. I hope they’re good displays this time. My launch day phones had display issues my spring release 12 mini doesn’t.

If you go ahead and get your order over and done with you’ll be good for release day, I haven’t really seen dates slip quick in awhile. I just knew last year the Pacific Blue would slip quick and it was there for release day for awhile so I wouldn’t stress too much, just get your pre-order in the app and let it rip in the morning.

My guess is nothing will sell out for the first hour. This doesn't have the feel of a "must have" upgrade, especially for the people who bought the last two years.

Yeah. I'm praying to the OLED gods as I'm typing this. Also the QC gods.

Thanks for that. I definitely hope you get yours so I can see your take on it on your channel, even if this is really just an S upgrade. Sorry the Z Flip gave you dramas but it helped me know I am not ready to jump in on that yet and what to think about when I do decide I’m ready to make that leap. You’re not the only one to say the battery life was insufficient. My S21 Ultra has been very undramatic so I don’t talk about it much. Lol it just works!

For first time in my life I won’t be able to preorder as soon as it goes live (I’ll be on a flight)

However, I land an hour and a half after preorder. I already have my preorder set on Apple.

Anyone think I’ll still be able to snag a release day 256GB Silver 13PM?

I’m sure you will be fine. I know a lot of users including myself will go for that new color in 1TB

 

[wiggaty]

I'm sitting this one out, but good luck to all. Sure beats getting in line like back in the day.

uhhhh, most planes have wifi... Prices vary from airline to airline and depending on your carrier, but it seems worth it.

Yeah but that was actually kind of fun. Up so early, chatting with other fans. Now we just wake up, hit a button, and go back to sleep.

 

[sniffies]

I'm surprised the Store is still up with less than 8 hours to go.

Last year, the Store went down around 11PM EST.

Agree. There’s nothing must here, unless you’re coming from a XS or later. That said, I’m upping from a 12 Pro and I’m in it almost entirely for the camera. Anyway, I expect supply to remain strong into the late morning/early afternoon. With some configurations still available tomorrow eve. Time will tell.

Good luck to all that are upgrading tomorrow. My 13 Pro 256 Graphite pre-order is set, as is my alarm. A couple quick taps in the morning and then… Cofee time. There’s been worse Fridays.

This has quietly become one of my favorite holidays. Happy upgrade eve, nerds!*
