That’s what I ordered. I think the blue Jay case goes better with the blue pro max
I do like seeing that the gold this year via looking at the Apple comparison page looks less yellow to the last years Gold pros. Hmmmm still deciding do I step away from my safe silver
I think I’m going Abyss Blue as I’ve had the silver / white case for a year so prefer the darker blue. Blue Jay looks sweet though too.
My left field option is Sequoia Green but doesn’t 100% match Sierra Blue.
Do it
but stick with a 256gb so there's more chance of me getting a 128gb on release 😅
I couldn’t go any lower! My storage has like 50gb spare so deffo sticking to a 256
Can anyone remember if there were initial shortages on Pacific Blue last year? I’m sure that’ll inform the strategy this time. Looking at this poll I really hope they’ve got enough blue paint!
From what I remember pretty much everyone easily got any colour last year, if any I think Silver was actually the hardest to get
I expect demand this year to be even less due to lack of changes, and then for the 14 next year back to the old days of delays if you order 3 minutes after pre orders go live
I'm back once again to upgrade to the latest iPhone. Only ever drop by these forums when a new phone comes out. 
Why is it so difficult to upgrade on the iUP? I've had the 12 Pro since last year on the iUP and would very much like to upgrade it to the 13 Pro. However, making you do the whole thing in-store, and not having an easy way to reserve a slot for pickup makes it so much more complicated than any of the other options.
I'm tempted to just order the new phone through monthly payments or pay in full, then settle my existing iUP balance with Barclays from a trade-in to Music Magpie.
At this point, is there even any benefit to using the iUP? You could just finance the phone and AppleCare separately, giving you more flexibility, right?

So yesterday I called Barclays to pay off the remaining balance from my 11 pro max. Today I applied for the approval for the 13 pro max and my application was denied 😫
Do you think it would be best if I pre ordered on Friday and pay in full then when I go into store to collect it I ask to
Pay though finance?
Also why would I be rejected seeing as I had the finance two years ago and it’s now paid off and no payments were missed 🤷🏻♂️

I think Barclays have stopped giving credit so easily, maybe due to the financial changes that the pandemic brought, but who knows. Seen a few posts elsewhere from people who were declined for finance on the new iPhones.
Your other option is to get a 0% credit card and just pay it off that way.
I think Graphite, Silver and also Gold will look exactly the same as on the 12 Pro's
finally settled on the Abyss Blue silicon case to go with the Sierra Blue Pro, case comes Monday!
will be good to see some pictures from people who receive the blue jay colour.. just felt the darker contrast with the abyss worked better for me.

Once the option to select store pick up is available, can you select a date a few days later launch day? I am out of town on the 24th and would like to pick up on the 27th (optimistic that there will stock and there’s no delay)?
yes exactly that.. a lot of us moved from using IUP to the 24 month 0% last year for the flexibility and ability to pre-authI'm back once again to upgrade to the latest iPhone. Only ever drop by these forums when a new phone comes out.

IUP or 24 month 0%.. it all costs the same at the end
If anyone else was asking the question like I was on how the Apple leaks / rumours were so wrong this year, this article provides a decent insight:
www.idropnews.com
I now wonder how close Prosser’s iPhone 14 renders will actually be or just false prophets.
Personally, I hope we see less major Apple leaks next year, despite the massive ecosystem. As a tech/Apple fan I’d definitely prefer to be surprised at the big keynote events.
How Did the Apple Rumour Mill Get It So Wrong This Year?
With Apple’s penchant for keeping its products such closely guarded secrets, it’s no surprise that there’s an active community of leakers who are always

I'm pretty sure you could do a different collection day... not sure how many ahead though
I agree, happy for some more last minute details coming out.. but a whole year ahead.. I'm not convinced!If anyone else was asking the question like I was on how the Apple leaks / rumours were so wrong this year, this article provides a decent insight:

Prosser has got it wrong plenty too... wrong on the watch s7 redesign, wrong on new MBPs launching this summer..
12 months is a long time for apple to make design changes... lots of things could crop up, build and quality issues, component problems etc which could lead to changes to the design.
most of us will update next year again regardless but would love to watch a keynote/announcement again where you're truly surprised rather than underwhelmed.
leaks = disappointment
disappointed if the key note is everything that is leaked, disappointed if it doesn't live up to the leaks...
Confirmed Monday delivery from the Apple store or estimate?
I don't want to order my case until I have the phone locked in, but the Apple store at the moment says delivery 2-7 days after dispatch, and dispatch is 1 business day
Pretty sure if I ordered it Friday id have it by Wednesday on previous experience, but also don't want to risk not having it for when I (hopefully) get a release day phone!
Had to laugh at this from Gurman…
”curvier than expected” - bit of an understatement 😂

delivers 20th Sept so will be here.
its all easy to return to apple even if you did get the case early and things changed.
As well as my new spigen case coming today, so did my ESR armorite screen protectors. The screen protectors look the same size as the spigen case, though obviously not going to peel the backing off one just to check they are fractionally smaller. In terms of shape it looks like they will cover the whole screen apart from a small indent where the top speaker is likely to be. Both are supposed to be iPhone 13 pro compatible and came from Amazon.
pro motion was talked about for years.. annoying how leakers take relatively obvious info and claim it as a win!
you heard it here first folks... next year's iPhone will be the fastest iPhone ever! the camera system will be the biggest upgrade since... erm.. the last upgrade with 2.45603 times more light captured.
AND.. they will remove the cable from the box and say its to be kinder to the environment.
