I might. I’ve had silver (or white) in the past but I’ve opted for Space Grey and Graphite for the last 3 years or so.
Ah so you have not had silver since they moved to the flat, shiny stainless steel sides right?

It's a tough one, I'm agonising a bit about it actually as I've always have Space Grey phones and loved them but there's a strong urge to go for Silver this time but not sure as it's so unknown! I just know that returning to silver Mac this year has been amazing and I've loved the contrast and retro feel.
 
As a marketer I can say that no amount of marketing budget will cover the amount of hype and talk this creates. It will deffo outweigh the loss in sales, which I bet is minimal as most people will just check back later to see what's new and buy what they originally wanted to.
Let’s hope it’s not a disappointment then!
 
For those of you that use screen protectors, will you install one straight out of the box without ever touching the screen? Or do you play with the phone a bit then add it?

I never used to use them but did start on my 13 pro max but not straightaway. Just ordered a spigen protector for the 14 pro max (used ESR last time but prefer the installation method of spigen) so I’m ready to go when I get the phone. But whether to touch the naked screen first or not, that’s the question?!
Always a big no no for me. Always screen protected straight away I can’t even think about touching before 😅

I love my silver and always will. I’m pretty sure I’m getting silver again this time unless they have some very nice iridescent colour way
 
I now have 21 days to get it to the Asda Smart Kiosk down the road in Stockport.
Do you mean SMARTDrop. If so then you do indeed have 21 days as it is processed there and then. If, however, you’re using the other ASDA drop off option remember that it requires a few days to get to MM and to be processed by them. Someone recently told of how they fell foul of this with the result that MM would not honour the original valuation that they gave him.

Yes. I mean the fancy all singing all dancing scanning do-dah. I think it’s officially called a

SMARTDrop kiosk​

Does it look more silver in certain lights, in the same way the graphite/gray version looks nearer black in some lights? As I hold my Space Gray in my hand and tilt it in different directions, it moves from mid-grey to very dark grey and I'd love if the silver does the same.

Can't believe I've never bothered to look at one in person! 😂
 
I did with the iPhone 4 and 4s which had the flat sides like now.

The silver is a stunner. You won’t be disappointed.
I think it's just because of the glass back silver which put me off as it's basically white not silver in the traditional Apple silver sense.

Also if iPhone 4, 4S, 5 etc had come in silver with a black front panel I'd 100% have gone for it as for me the aluminium silver + black is Apple at its finest and just so classy (which is why I love my Studio Display and silver MBP M1).

I didn't like the white front of the silver iPhone 4 series up to the X.

Happy event day people! The sun is shining bright over the city and London is looking beautiful this morning.

But I’m already planning my escape back home to get ready for 6pm.

Going to drag these few hours!
I was a touch further down than you earlier, less impressive photo but I think the chairs were a sign 🤞
 
I think it’s an interesting one with screen protectors being sold on Amazon. Since they’re being sold legally the iPhone names must be correct? Doesn’t that sort of confirm the rumours/hint the actual iPhone names a bit earlier than release?
 
Took a wander down to the Apple Store to check out sizes and I've decided I'm going to downsize to the Pro over the Pro Max. I forgot how much nicer the smaller one was to hold and I'm happy to sacrifice a bit of screen size for that.
