I love the reds. I'm smitten with the tones (hues?) in the new Product Red case vs the 6+ Product Red case. It's a more serious red.

My Product Red cased iPhone 6+ and Azure Blue cased iPhone 7+ have been an awesome every day carry for the past year in a Brighton purse very similar to this crossbody.

I described this in the Nov17-24 thread:
The 2 phones fit side by side standing up perfectly with 3/8 inch of clearance from the top zipper. One advantage of being female beyond never getting a speeding ticket: Phone storage is not just limited to a pocket. I always have my purse with me, so both phones can always be with me. Helps with bragging rights around geek guys too. "I have more cores than you do..." 😀

They have been awesome. The red one is for fun, the blue one is for being serious. 2 plus-sized screens are indispensable when I travel for work. I use the faster one for navigation / public transport / to make sure Mr. Taxi Driver isn't taking me the long way home. I use the slower one for podcasts or phone calls.

Above pics were taken at the Austin Apple store in the Domain when I picked up the X. I have a cool pic of that store full of happy people when I joined the back of the line, but posting a picture of identifiable people without permission isn't something I'd do.

Despite the full store, it was a totally enjoyable experience with Minerva and Kara. They made me feel like I was the only person there, and they really cared about whether I understood the new features. Only hiccup was activation took a long time in the store. Maybe 10 minutes. So we talked about the new word of the week: "punim" from Apple's research paper on facial rec. Overall Apple has given me a consistently excellent feeling from showing up in their stores.

Thank you Tim and team! :apple:
