As the 'terrible' Apple purchasing influence of @TheYayAreaLiving ? @LFC2020 and others continue on this thread... ?

I added another purchase to my Apple Store history this morning, and have decided to upgrade from my 12 Pro Max to a 13 Pro. Now the 3-4 week shipping/waiting period begins. The trade-in value going down a bit is what pushed me to do it. And 120Hz, and I want a smaller phone again...
 
Sounds like he just puts it to sleep. That would be the simplest way.
So @LFC2020 is doing all this extra work for nothing... turning on and off for no reason... you gotta understand this is coming from a Senior Vice President. macOS Monterey is his baby. He created it. So he knows what's up.

The sleep mode is there for a reason!

Simplify your life!

Are you still going to shut it down @LFC2020

Just tuck it in for the night.

Woo hoo! Congratulations!!! Dang iPhone 13 Pro is still delayed 3-4 weeks. Hopefully, you get it before Christmas. I hope you will be joining us for iPhone 14 pre-order in September 2022.

Pro-Motion is amazing. It’s hard to go back to 60hz

I rebooted mine over the weekend. The speed still blows my mind.

Yea, once I'd seen it in person - I couldn't unsee it. Still will join for that preorder. Because of the trade-in on this, and going from larger to the now preferred smaller screen size, it actually its only $400 to upgrade. So it doesn't put as much squeeze on me for payoff before the 2022 iPhone 14 launch.

Right now, showing Dec 8-15. I'm sure it will be here before Christmas.

What color did you order?
 
I have been following this thread closely, excited for everyone that has already gotten their new computers. My tracking shows that my laptop has left Incheon. Based on your experience, is it safe to assume that the laptop will deliver sometime this week?
Most likely will be delivered this week. Once it gets out of China. It starts to travel back to back.

Happy and safe travels.
 
What color did you order?
13 Pro, Sierra Blue, 256GB, SIM free/unlocked. Coming from 12 Pro Max, Silver, 256GB, unlocked.

My brother-in-law got the Sierra Blue. Seeing it in person really swayed me on it. Love how it changes ever so slightly in different light. Plus if I hate it long term, I'll likely only have it 10-11 months. ?

I can't go back, every product I have now iPad Pro, iPhone Pro Max, now the MBP 16" all have ProMotion. I literally will choose this screen over many easily now. The fans on this thing still haven't shown themselves. LOL.

Agree with you 100% it is very hard to go back. Hopefully, ProMotion kicks in on safari. Now, that would be cool.

Rubbing it in good, showing @LFC2020 no mercy. Brutal 🤣
 
The speed is known as the "Zook" effect, thus warping the fabric of the space/time continuum!

Congrats Darin!

When you're comparing it to the Intel variants that need those fans at warp speed in order to reboot, I mean, its hard not to be impressed. ? My 2018 work-issued MBP just sits here embarrassed, as I work on a word doc with outlook open and its running nearly full tilt on fans...

Definitely a step up, no doubt
 
First impressions with this new Mac:
- It feels much faster in comparison with my previous 16" i9. That Mac was very laggy on animations and general performance wasn't very good.
- I have seen some users complaining about low refresh rate on web browsers. In my case, all browsers are running at 120 Hz without any issues. I am running Monterey 12.0.1.
- Battery life is INSANE. It has dropped a 25% while running for 2:30h. That time I have been installing all my necessary software.
- It does not produce any heat. My old 16" i9 MBP was a furnace in comparison with this one.
- I use this computer for software development (VSCode, Android Studio and Flutter) and all software is working fine.
