Just to confirm, if we do this financing, can we still select pickup in store? Or is it delivery only>

What are those on IUP doing this year? Tempted to move to the 24 monthly payments and just trade in my 12 Pro, seems like that’s what they’re pushing this year. I know I can always make a bit more selling elsewhere and paying off the loan, but the convenience of IUP was a big draw for me. Even bigger draw if I can order the phone to be delivered and just post my old one afterwards.

Not sure I’m missing anything, but isn’t doing the monthly payments (plus AC+) and then trading in at the end and Apple sorting out closing the loan basically the same as the IUP, just no in-store requirement?
 
Ordered the amorite ESR screen protector, hope it's as good as the one for the 12 was. Ordered a clear esr case too which I'll use till caudabe release their line up (I'm totally lying to myself, I already have four cases in my amazon basket)
 
Do we know if the new mag wallet is different from the one that was selling last year? I saw that you can see when/ where it has been deattached but will this be available for wallets sold last year?

That’s right. I did store pick up last year and will do delivery this year. The loan approval is not a guarantee you’ll get a phone on launch day… you will still need to get onto the store ASAP and select the phone, and collect/delivery to secure the launch stock.

assumed it was different
Looks like you can “Get ready for pre-order” if you’re paying in full this year too! I’ve got both phones ready! Hopes it’s this slick and easy come Friday…View attachment 1831427

love it same peopls chatting on here missed u guys lol

This doesn’t reserve your spot though. Does it?
nope, just the finance in place.. the check out process was a breeze last year as when the store opens it was a case on confirming the model (as long as you don't change it) and then selecting collection or delivery..

you still need to be on the store at 1pm to get that first batch!

might go for the Sierra Blue... only because its new and there's no matt black... the graphite looks very similar to last year?

I think unfortunately the graphite looks exactly the same as last year (except for bigger camera bump, of course). Shame, as the Matte Black rumours got me really excited…

Thanks for the heads up - I like the new option of getting ready to pre-order!

I’m all ready for Friday, final decision to go with Sierra Blue in 256GB for the ProRes video in 4K.

Regarding the watch, underwhelming given the rumours of a redesign, but having a Series 4, the always on display has always attracted me, and even though the screen increase isn’t huge, it’s still better than nothing, so I think I’ll be upgrading when it eventually comes out

Regarding colours for the aluminium case, the website has a Midnight colour, which I’m not sure is same as space grey, or just a really dark blue? Thoughts?
Noticed the iPhone 13 cases also don’t have a Black colour, just Midnight again…
 
For anybody that's a fan of super slim cases, Peel is taking pre-orders on their line up for iPhone 13.

I've ordered a frosted hard case, which is exactly what I have on my 12 Pro Max. Ships from the US on the 17th, so may or may not reach me in time for the 24th launch.

If it's delayed, I fancy trying out the Apple Dark Cherry leather case. I had an Aubergine leather case a couple of years ago, but returned it quickly as it just appeared black in most lighting conditions, when what I wanted was a purple case.

You cannot add old wallet in Find My. I tried it but it keeps on saying connecting.
 
You can find it here under the camera section where ProRes is mentioned


Thanks - So it’s only an issue for the Prores mode. So standard 4K recording will still work on the 128gb models as it does on the 12 pro?
