Sigh…every year I swear I won’t upgrade…iPhone Pro Max 128gb in deep purple ordered along with AirPods Pro 2 and a series 8 watch in midnight with cellular. Roll on the constant checking of order status / tracking etc!

same here ! tho going to do the series 8 (from SE) and airpods pro 2 (from 1st gen)

just wonder what I can get for SE watch and 1st gen pros

My iPhone case was delivered today, its a clear soft silicone case so the iPhone shows through.

Less than £10 instead of £50 from apple. Just hope the buttons and everything line up.

Sorry if my post wasn’t clear I meant what time can you start ordering from on launch day for collection (like same day order pickup)

Normally you want to be on the app from 6am

Off topic but do I need iOS 16 installed to install watchOS 9?

Indeed you do!!

Anyone getting this error in the AppStore, Agreeing to new t&c

I said exactly the same thing. I bought the 14 Pro Max 256GB in Silver and will be buying the Apple Watch Series 8 in Silver and AirPods Pro 2

Nice. Coming from a Silver 13 Pro Max and I’m sure changing the colour is all part of justifying the unnecessary upgrade for me!

I got this also but have Apple One. They could do something for those alread loyal to the brand.

Xactly, but nooooo

 

[dbrose]

Should I get the AirPods? I’ve never had he pros in the past and still using the 1st gen AirPods but I feel like I’m missing out

Much superior to AirPods 1 but take a bit of getting used to. I had both and preferred by AP1 but I lost them so fully embraced APP1. Now ordered APP2.

 

[Jinjin]

I’ve succumbed and done the update. Well in 3 hours of hospital Wi-Fi

I want to hold off on iOS 16 until the new phone gets here (so I can experience two new shiny things instead of one). Remind me... there's no issue with that right? I can restore from an iOS 15 backup when I am setting up the new phone?

You can but then you will be waiting for all your data to reindex. Better get it done now then it will be reindexed by time Friday comes.

Maybe getting banned does have its benefits then

Haha very true! Dino is out there reading this from a 5* hotel he’s just booked a visit to

I haven’t had an Apple Watch since series 4 so interested to see if I’ll stick with it this time! I managed to get £70 for my 1st gen AirPods Pro prior to the announcement from Music Magpie.

yes. Seems like people are having general app store issues

Yes, the speaker was actually more centrally located within the phones notch area

Thanks that explains it!

Might be a silly question but will it be bang on 6am? does the store go down like the usual pre orders or do they just appear in stock magically at 6am

 

[Jinjin]

The days I use to do it was from 6… some times it’s was a little after, some days there is no stock change so it doesn’t up date. The 6am lottery my friend

Guess it’s there servers getting a hammering

It should be a CDN… funnily enough in my systems development manager interview I was asked to design a CDN, went into great detail separating Edge nodes and POPs as well as dissecting TLA performance and what types of compute performance profiles I’d use where.

 

[dbrose]

If you are on 16 beta, will there be an update today (took the profile off as suggested earlier to prevent 16.1) but not sure if that means we will get anything after the GM we will have gotten a week or so ago.

I think it will be tomorrow to 16.1.
If you have removed the profile you won’t get anything as the RC is the same as what has been released today.

The risk going to 16.1 is that the beta won’t be available straight away on Friday for the iPhone 14.

will be on just before 6am and will give it until 6:45am then its down to the local apple store to see if they have any walk in stock

 

[dbrose]

Is iPadOS 16 out today too?

No. This is delayed until October and is already at 16.1 so expect it at October event.

Finally ordered the gold pro max 256gb to go with my gold S7. Does anyone know if there is any visible difference between the shade of the gold on the new one vs last years?

 

[dbrose]

Has anyone got a pickup next Monday?

 

[nathan3007]

Finally caved and got a 14 pro max 128gb
Any case recommendations?
