I’ve already made a separate thread about this, but just wanted to ask here too;

Does anyone else with the new 13 / 13 pro have a gap like this at the top too? it’s only really visible when you look closely and at certain angles.

I’ve been told it’s pretty normal so far and shouldn’t affect any function or water resistance but I just want to see how common it is.
I couldn’t see it from the photos

From my experience there will be gap on every device. Either it be on Top side or Bottom or Left Side orRight Side. If you search the forum there was a thread about this Gap Gate last year as well.
 
Finally got everything set up from local backup but can't connect my Apple Watch.

It got halfway through as setting up and existing watch but then failed, now it won't connect to either of my phones 😣

Anybody got any ideas or am I going to have tp reset the watch and go from scratch? Wouldn't be the biggest drama to be fair.
I had to erase my watch and then pair it with my new iPhone. I then restored from back up.

Anyone else moving over from a X and finding the display a lot warmer? I keep thinking I've got Night Shift or True Tone on but they aren't.
The new phones have been warmer for a while. If you prefer a more blueish white / daylight look you should use colour filters in the accessibility section. I’ve been using it ever since they introduced the function so my screen is always crisp bright white! My settings below if interested :

Also why these phones are starting their warranty on the day of pre-order 17/09/2021 and not the actual day of activation. I.e today the 24/09/2021 ? Effectively we have lost a weeks worth of warranty on these no ?

Ordered directly from Apple if that makes any difference.

I think the dates change after few days.
 
Graphite Pro 256 picked up from Norwich. Arrived half an hour before my slot, in and out in 5 minutes

Coming from a 12 Pro, weight increase is noticeable but definitely manageable.
Haven’t used the camera yet.
Promotion is amazing, as expected!!

Only negative has been EE’s eSIM transfer, which didn’t work as expected… had requested a new one through the MyEE app a couple of days ago as advised in the thread, after doing phone to phone transfer (took around an hour) opened MyEE app on the 13, tried downloading/activating on this device, and got an error. After another couple of unsuccessful attempts, called costumer support and they did it on their end. 2 hours later, lost signal on the 12, but half an hour later and still nothing on the 13… tried airplane mode on/off, restarting, still nothing. Let’s see what happens overnight, but gotta a feeling I’ll be on the phone again tomorrow to EE…

Thanks for this! I actually really quite like your settings, might keep my phone this way too.

i contacted Apple about this. They said it should update on the phone within 24 hours of activation. If it doesn’t give them a ring and they will change it manually.

It’s been great chilling with you all - you’ve made my first ever iPhone pre-order experience a special one. Thanks all! I’ll be active on the forum and I’ll stay subbed to this thread so will keep up to date with it.

Now I’m going to go enjoy my new lovely, shiny, grey Sierra “Blue” iPhone 13 Pro Max.
 
I do agree that Spotify is superior to Apple Music, but I use AM purely for the integration and being in the ecosystem fully with Apple One etc. If Apple could somehow buy/replicate Spotify's algorithm for similar music then they'd be on top. That's what really separates them.
Plus spatial audio with AirPods Max sounds amazing
 
If you do the iPhone to iPhone transfer (whereby you scan that spinning image thing on the iPhone 13 screen with your old phone) then you don't have to set all this stuff up again as it transfers all your login details and everything else along with Apple Pay and Siri.



...that's odd how your packaging looks like that?! Mine was also delivered by DHL but my packaging was way different to yours!!!
Does this work with the HSBC app?
 
Just got home from work and playing with mine.
First impressions;
The camera bump is getting a wee bit ridiculous now.
It is noticeably heavier, even though its only a few grams
iPhone data migration remains a PITA. My banking app is broken which is just great.

But...ProMotion + Better battery = worth it.

I don’t think that’s right. I don’t have that on my 13 pro.
 
transfer from 12PM to 13PM was a breeze. Took 25 minutes. Phone is noticeably heavier than 12PM. Was skeptical at first when apple announced this phone without much changes. But ProMotion is a game changer. Battery is insane so far as well. Phone had 75% out of the box and fair to say it’s handled really well. Macro mode is awesome but will need to wait till daytime to fully test it same with cinematic mode. Liking the sierra blue colour as well.
