QUESTION - Does StandBy mode when charging in landscape also work in the regular iPhone 16? or does the screen turn off because it doesn't have always on display?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah moral of the story: don't count other people's coins. We all have our own journeys and it would benefit everyone to not be judgmental or presumptuous about strangers. Positivity always comes out on top!
My 14+ turns off while charging in landscape mode.
This is my big reason to upgrade to the Pro model.
I had my iPhone 16 Pro pre-order setup in the Apple Store app yesterday. Can't really bring myself to actually pull the trigger this morning. I've upgraded every single year since the iPhone 3G. Just seems like a pointless upgrade this year. Congrats all who have their orders in.
I could place my order for iphone 16pro ( Australia) vka apple australia website. Got an email from " your_order_AU@orders.apple.com " regarding my purchase. The email Id sounds a bit phishing however when I checked ln my order status on apple website, it does show that order is in progress. Maybe Im just being paranoid but wanted to check with you geniuses if this is a legit email ID or anyone on the same boat?
Let’s all hope our 9/20 delivery dates stick, there have been times where the dates change once the status changes into preparing to ship or shipped.

Just received an update from Apple Store, my payment was declined. Called Ally Credit card and they said it was flagged for fraud ( even though I called yesterday and spoke to an agent to make aware) . After speaking to their fraud dept, they told me someone from management will call me 3-6 mins later and that never happened.
Apple was kind enough to allow me to use another form of payment which I did. Least I didn't lose my place in line I don't think. Guess I won't be getting no cash back from Ally. Rant over.
EDIT. To add to my confusion. I just received another " we are having problems with your order " email from Apple. Yet when I go to my order it shows processing and doesn't ask me to update or change payment method. Make me wonder what's going on.

One thing I noticed, while shipping has slipped, there’s still in store pickup for 9/20 on many of these. I did in store anyway so hopefully that helped those of you that can only ship. I used to do UPS and have it saved at a customer pickup location, but every year UPS changes it to work out the kinks and at this point, the Apple Store is more convenient, except for needing to set an appointment in advance.
Last year I did a pickup before the mall opened and there were a bunch of us trying to figure out how to get in the mall. So if you do after mall hours, check that out.

Got in-store pickup for 8:15AM for:

Yes it’s legit. My confirmation email in the US says your_order_US for the sender email.
Gave me some relief, thought maybe some scammers got through me hahahah
I’ve always hated that. 99% of the time most of the back and forth is on what color to buy. Being able to see the colors in stores would be so beneficial for buyers.
Before your order ships, you can contact Apple on the phone and request a media swap and use your Ally card.
I had to do that one year when I ordered the Mac Studio Max + Studio Display and my Chase card was flagged as fraud alert for $4500 and ended up using my AMEX to get the order in.
Once the order went to preparing to ship, I called Apple and the rep was able to switch it back to the Chase card.
For the Pro line-up? Absolutely unnecessary until Apple offers Pro users color selections the standard line-up gets.
This is one of the weakest color line-ups for the Pro series yet. Natural, Gold, White, or Black. Pretty easy to make a decision on that without having to see them in person.
Sorry but it happens every year. The Fraud systems are automated and even when you pre-check with your Credit Card processor it often fails. The good news is that Apple just holds your order for a period of time to allow you to provide another payment option.
The real reason may be on the Apple side or Ally we will never know all the facts. Often the credit processing system is overwhelmed on the Apple side due to the volume other times it is your friendly automated Fraud scan by your CC company, Ally in your case.

I’m getting the id verification text after order is placed but the link didn’t work and no mention of it on my account order page. Did you get any of that?
Yah, the standard 16 and 16+ have a better color line up.
Would have loved a Pro in Ultramarine Blue...
