Dude, I went blind I can’t even read those numbers. Wow! Pure performance at its finest!!! This is a total beast!!!
WHAT THE!!! 🤬 joking 😂
Use caution on trade-ins and DEFINTELY take pictures. And make sure your pictures are time stamped of the day of shipping. Apple doesn’t handle trade-ins themselves. This is through a contract with a company called Phobio. They’re a company with a HORRIBLE reputation. I traded in my 2011 iMac 2 years ago, and they sent me the box. My iMac was in pristine condition. I used their box and packed it like I was instructed. Sent it to them and a few days pass, and they send me a revised quote to accept for less than half of my originally quoted value from Apple (Apple originally offered me like 240$ for it, Phobio sent me a revised offer of like $50). The reason, they cited extensive damage to the chassis and corners of the iMac. I demanded photo proof, which they would not provide, so I demanded a return of my iMac. Upon getting it back, it was completely destroyed. Corners of the iMac were smashed in, stand was damaged, chin was gouged - like it fell off a table - this couldn’t have happened in the box during shipping.
I reached out to Apple & the Better Business Bureau. Phobio has asked to be delisted from the BBB website multiple times. They refused to address the issue, and denied that they damaged my computer. BBB reported to me that I am one of thousands of consumers with complaints against them, but they refuse to recognize the BBB rating, and have asked to not be listed. I made sure Apple was well aware of what was happening, and wrote emails to executive relations, Tim Cook directly and others with pictures of the damage, and more. I wanted them to know what their trade in partner was doing to customers. Apple worked with me, and I ended up with someone in Executive relations who made things right, and refunded some recent purchases to help make up for the complete loss on my end.
I’ve traded in iPhones/iPads before, and as I understand it, these too go to Phobio. Those have been incident free. But I’ll only sell computers privately anymore. And I document the physical shape of my devices thoroughly before I ship them.
Too bad you’re letting it go, you know, taking it back ‘cause it has that - - - notch! I’ll take it off your hands.
😍😍😍😍
Which thread is this from? Any pics of the actual cloth lol
It's still here and no I'm not comparing them ? missing the Touch Bar.
I found it on twitter. 😂
Thank you @arn I finally made it on the front page. ?? I beat @Boardiesboi for once lol.
Shoot! I’m gonna miss the Touch Bar too now :/
For the folks who‘ve already reached launch day, did they stock the high end 16 stock config for in store pickup (ie. The 32 gig, 1tb 32 GPU core model?). I’ve got one coming by mail tomorrow, but I neglected to setup my trade in, and I’m weighing trying to place a new order for pickup so I can add the trade in (Apple support was less than helpful about adding it after the fact to my existing order…)
Didn’t know it was a competition but ok lol ?
Nope I don't touch my screen. 😜 @Boardiesboi @LasersGoPewPew not going @TheYayAreaLiving next level peer pressure on you guys lol, GO RIGHT NOW and buy the 16" model, this screen is amazing, device is amazing, pure sexiness on another level.
Chill out, @LFC2020 took a L today not getting a Apple polishing cloth 😂
This person made the headlines too. Y’all got some competition out there @daisuke.5
@LFC2020 his 💻 is about to fly off too!

Yes all stock configs are available for pick up.
So 2 x 14” and 3 x 16” configs.
I always leave that in the box, I don't even open the packaging lol.
Maybe too much time alone in the desert lately? By the way, did I see apple restored your order of these polishers to 4?
Hahahaha! Ur just like me. I’m the same way or else OCD kicks in.
You 2 still carrying on about this DAMN cloth ?♂️?

For now I’m getting one for sure. but I’m expecting a call from Apple manager. He told me I’ll find out by Tuesday.
LMAO!!! when are you picking up your beast?
120hz isn't as good as on the iPhone and iPad, safari is still blurry. 🤔🤨 maybe a software update is needed?
What the… is this real? Why is it not white????
I supposed to get mine tomorrow
Now I see that in UPS website
I am located in Los angels and label says Ontario.
“Shipper created a label, UPS has not received the package yet.”
Anyone have the same situation.

I got royally ****ed in the arse by Apple.... Ordered pickup only to get a call back from the Apple Store during the MIDDLE OF DRIVING to tell me that there was a "glitch" in the system and that I can't pickup my order and I have place a new order.
Sure no problem I guess, I cancel my order immediately to place a new order, only to find out that all the M1 Max is OUT OF STOCK for pick up and the earliest delivery is December..... Excuse my french but are you f**king kidding me. Never felt so disappointed and angry at Apple in a long time. ?
Does anyone know if the M1 Max will have more stock available for pickup on the 2nd launch day (tomorrow) or do I actually have to wait until December for delivery now? If more stock comes in, do they prioritise for delivery or is the new stock specially for Apple Store pick up? I'm basically wondering if I should place a new delivery order ASAP for december or if I should check stock levels on the Apple website everyday to see if one is available..
