Bitches is here ! arrived earlier than expected. Blue Sierra Pro.. It's not baby blue ..it's not a shade I would have chosen if I saw it in store , it's a pale bluiish-grey depending on the light.. Coming from a 6s plus it feels heavier of course but I thought it could be worst.. I might return it if I can get a white one soon enough

Not sure why I got this iPhone. I don’t see any improvements, apart from some Android design fat camera added to the back and a very very heavy iPhone. Apple messed this one imo. Ive would never allow this.

Anyone else deeply unhappy?

Picked mine up here in Bath at 8am on the dot. All good in the Apple Store! Had to go for a covid booster jab straight after, so only just got everything setup! Having gone from Pro to Pro Max, going back to the Pro feels like a toy after using the Max for an hour!
I’m heading to bath from Swindon to pick up a screen protector and case how busy was it in there when you was there?

Pretty quiet. They're being fairly strict on booking slots for any walk in purchases so were turning people away from queuing.

None of the usual clapping for the 8am opening though!
 
10 stops away so the webcam view of my street from the bedroom is now streaming on the iPad.... I'm literally feet away from the front door anyway - I'm not missing this delivery for anything! 🤣
 
I really like them! I mostly used Apple Silicone cases throughout the past year with the 12 Pro Max. I'm a bit of a case fanatic and while I bought leather it never felt 'nice' plus the natural aging (not patina) looked really bad for people and I rarely used the ones I bought... also as leather is absorbant it never I was more fearful it would pick up grease.

I also have a preference for 'proper' magsafe over 'magsafe compaitble' the otterbox magsafe were 'official' but I didn't feel the magnets were right and I still haven't established if they have the orientation magnet for things like the wallet.

So after buying near enough 15 cases over the past year I always came back to Apple Silicone with the seasonal colours giving me a change.

Lighter colours are better for resisting fingerprints and I've never found lint to be a problem, it may pick up a bit when you first get one, but it's never been an issue after a day or two. Unless you have a constant stream of new clothes I'm not sure how anyone generates an amount of lint that is problematic on a daily basis!

Oh, and I think grippyness is ideal, could be problematic if you like skinny jeans but in and out of pockets I've been happy, I do like the feel in-hand.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve alway bought cheap clear cases, but maybe i should cough up for a nice Apple case.

I never really got on with the Apple clear case last year (particularly stiff buttons), did anyone who used it last year get it again, and if so, is it any better?
