Finally got a macro shot of my dogs little snoot whilst he’s asleep. Very cool!

How’s everyone getting on with day 1 battery life? My 13 pro Max is almost down to 50% with 3h 10m screen on. Been off the charger since just after 6 this morning. It’s good but not the earth shattering, mind blowing, life changing battery life I was expecting. Guess it will get better over the next few charge cycles though
Pro Max here too. On 71% been off charge since 7am. Can’t give accurate screen on time because iPhone does it by 24 hours rather than since last full charge (do correct me if I’m wrong!). But I have used the phone a fair bit today so far including over an hour of wireless CarPlay with Google maps for about 35 minutes

Glad you got a sealed phone in the end @Sal09
Would love to know how the first one ended up like that.
As per the EE CS manager there was damaged pallet/boxes and the warehouse opened the phone boxes to check if the iPhone was ok.

This one was dispatched from Birmingham Hub instead of Hinckley.

God knows if its the truth or just another excuse EE has been cooking this year.

😴
However the esim transfer seems to have gone ok and my watch asked to pair to the new phone so could be worse…
 
The standard ESR protector for the 13PM doesn’t go as close to the edge as the 12PM one did. I am hesitant to order the Amorite as a replacement however as I’ve managed to absolutely nail the application on my second try, not a single piece of dust under the screen at all!

I’ve ordered their standard screen protector as well. Most of the times I rock the device naked but when I know I’m going to be in unknown setup like on a holiday or at the gym I put on a TPU case. Hope the lips line up with the screen protector and doesn’t push on it.

Got 7 hours, 30 mins first day and it only came 75% charged

3 hours, 35 mins screen on time with 55% left so far today
 
Just a little update from my lurker self before I say good bye for the year!
I preordered from Very without much hope but got delivered yesterday by Royal Mail special delivery at about 11am.

But didn’t have time to set it up until today. Managed to snag the last blue jay case from an istore and now proudly sits on my phone.

As a lurker I love this thread and will be back next year.

Love the blue jay case.

May treat myself soon.

Enjoy
 
Oh Dear. Feel so sorry for you bud. Ronaldo should have taken that pen lol.
Something about losing to teams in Claret and Blue this week

...and this must be exactly what it felt like to be a West Ham fan last week 😥 Went from the lows of conceding in the 88th to getting a Pen in the 93rd...back to the lows after it got skied 😭

to keep this on topic.... Actually I can't even do that, it was such a bad performance I failed to even try to get any photos to try out the new 13 Pro camera 😂 I'm back Wednesday though for the Champs league...maybe then!

Question: Do we need to have physical possession of a phone in order to cancel the AppleCare+ on it (paid in advance)?

I want to trade in my 12PM tomorrow but the AC+ line is shut on weekends. On the one hand I can’t think of any particular reason why I’d need the phone physically to cancel the plan, and I have all the proof of coverage etc I need. But on the other hand I’m thinking surely it’s too easy to sell someone your phone, say it has AC+ on it, and then refund it after you’ve posted it off?

Would love for someone to confirm please!

No you do not need the physical phone.
I've sold a previous handset and didn't realise I could cancel AppleCare.
I rang a few days after selling the phone and they cancelled it and gave me the difference back - I just gave them the AppleCare Agreement number (from your AppleCare documentation) and they did it within minutes. Quick and easy.
Not sure ho much you get back if you have used the policy in the past at all......or whether that even makes a difference.....

Why did you sell your only phone before you had the new one in your hands???

I did the same.
Locked in a price with MM a week before the keynote.
The day before the keynote the price for the same handset had dropped by another £80. Was very glad I locked in that price.
Sent off the handset and used a temporary 7s Plus instead.
Appel have made the backup/restore/transfer process so seamless that it really doesn't take long to move to another handset - and above all else i got used to the 7sPlus for a while, making my 13PM feel like even more of an upgrade! lol

Love the blue jay case.

May treat myself soon.

Enjoy

Same - have the Blue Jay on my Sierra Blue handset. I think its a great combo!

Have to say, I was really upset about receiving the wrong size 13 Pro yesterday, after a day and half I'm actually enjoying the smaller size. Easier to carry and not so big in my jeans. It's a lot easier to hold, just need to get used to typing on a smaller keyboard with my fat thumbs.
 
I will keep my fingers crossed for you, but it sounds like you should be set for tomorrow. My DHL tracking now shows delivery on Monday and the same 18.06 to 19.06 slot that failed me today. I will see what Apple says when the support lines open but I am not interested in another DHL failure on Monday.

Did you get yours today or is it coming Monday then?
 
I’m still here. 👋🏻

I’ll be the last of the launch day deliveries to actually get my hands on my phone, as we’re in Croatia until next weekend! 🇭🇷

Personally haven’t got to the amazing stage yet. Currently on 32% from a roughly 85% this morning. I didn’t charge it last night
 
My screen protector was finally delivered and I’ve swapped all data from my 12 Pro. The Max is definitely larger and heavier but not as bad as I feared it would be. Slightly more challenging to type when held in one hand but not impossible. The ESR Armorite installed perfectly first time.CCD11FD9-8563-4E30-BA94-08A0191F907E.jpeg87B4E0BD-9AFE-4D61-988B-6F16DC7B13C4.jpeg79A2A84D-9C11-4276-A00C-1551B54B0FAE.jpeg741E0762-FACD-48B2-A284-346106F94802.jpeg94A8A49B-8D48-42AF-96E7-4BD623B97E9B.jpeg1B9F2C75-A062-4492-AC10-B943C6051E8B.jpeg
