Couldn't bring myself to set up as new, I'm a natural hoarder and have been carrying backups with me since iPhone 4 
Got a tip for us?

I have the green version of this strap arriving with my Ultra watch, I wonder how secure the G-Hook fastener is compared to the other options...can't wait to find out.I was looking at the strap too. Did notice that for the new alpine straps it suggests it fits 44,45 and 49mm
But when you click onto one, it only shows the 49mm ultra
Anyone the wiser to what apple say about the new ultra straps fitting the smaller watches?
I tried the "Transfer iPhone" back on the first iteration (I think it was 12?) and I either did something wrong, or it screwed me over. Plus, it took forever! I lost quite a lot of pics/vids on WhatsApp. I've never been able to get those back. Just says they're not available because they weren't backed up or something.
Here's my plan this year: I will do a local archived backup on Finder, an iCloud backup, and then an iCloud backup of each important app that supports doing so (WhatsApp etc.). I will then start afresh and restore each app's own backup.
I only use Monzo for banking and have two backup credit cards - all three support adding into the Wallet via their app without needing to call etc. I have passwords for apps in Keychain.
Yep, this week is even more slow and boring for those picking up in store. The only change, as you say, will be later on Thursday when it’s ready to collect. Usually happens after store closing times think.
Unlimited claims under AppleCare + now.I just think between the Leather Apple case, and buying the Spigen Crystal Clear Hybrid the leather slips from your had more
I love the leather cases, but just think I may be prone to accidents, than the stickier plastic of the Spigen
Likewise, will have my go to apps (finance, social, car, shopping, iot etc) then the rest when I remember.
Just assumed the larger strap would have been wider. One to look at in store I think.
I’ll prob pick up a nike band to supplement the leather link
Anyone ordered their phone from Amazon before? The configuration I want is "available" but says "This item will be released on September 16, 2022." and when you add it to basket and go to checkout it says "Order now and we'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item."
Anyone got experience from previous years, does this mean it likely comes on or near launch day?

Anyone like to share an image of their Umber Leather Case? Just wondering about the colour in real light!
I've got one ordered to collect along with the Umber MagSafe Wallet and my iPhone 14 Pro on Friday...

I used the Transfer iPhone option last year and it went without a hitch. Worked well for Microsoft Authenticator as I need that for work. I don’t use WhatsApp so I can’t comment on that.
In previous years I used the iCloud backup method. I found that very slow. Got faster internet at home now so it may not be such a pain.
I tend to set up as a new phone only as a last resort. That option takes a bit of work to set everything back the way I like it. I’m just to lazy for that.
This might be a daft question but what do you do to set up from new? It usually asks you to hold your old iPhone close and then it transfers everything (I do as I'm told!
). Is there a "set up as new" option?Yep, US deliveries always do as they ship from factory to the. And they get plane tracking etc. they’re just Uber efficient in the uk and ship from the midlands
Will be dispatched on Friday, and most likely you’ll get in on Saturday.
Ordered from Amazon 2 years ago when they messed the prices and we got iPhones £250 cheaper

Not a new option, just boot up new phone and don’t restore from back up
Oh so you are alive!! Just ignoring us who were looking for you
Saturday is much better than October 3rd that my Apple order has! Thanks, will order there now.
Shame we can’t track planes and shipments from China or where they are made now
Nice, I'm going to use one of those when I get rid of the 13 Mini.

Apparently, it says one of the technicians is checking the condition of the iPhone.
Took 4-5 mins before the condition check was complete.
