Is there any point using Apple Relay? Is it a poor cousin of a proper VPN?
They do basically the same but a true VPN you can manually select what country you want to use (for accessing US Netflix for instance) and also can be used on any device in your household if you set it up on your actual router like you can with something like NordVPN whereas Apple Relay is just for your iPhones or iPads and you cannot manually select what country servers to use.

Spoke to Amazon online chat about my order with a pending delivery date. Needless to say, I have very little faith it will be ready to delivery on Friday. They kept contradicting themselves, but I THINK it sounds like because the one I ordered is now de-listed, I’m probably in the first batch? They just can’t confirm delivery date until they presumably get their stock from Apple.

If it’s delivered by Dpd or DHL and not a standard Amazon courier you know it’s coming straight from Apple. I think almost all launch day devices will come from Hinkley
 
To all the people who have ordered from Currys, the email does say the 15th as I also ordered from them but sadly it’ll be the 16th, last year I thought it was going to be the day before but no. It’ll be launch day. Sorry to be the party pooper.

When did Macrumors start? I can’t believe this account is from 2006...though I think I may have an older account that I lost access to (no Dino).
Now that you mentioned old accounts it’s made me check how long everyone’s been around! .. I’m surprised I’ve been here that long! … do you have to pay to be ad-free now? .. good that they kept original members on free. (I think that’s what must have happened as it says ad free in my bio but I know I paid nothing!)
 
Mine also been there since Sunday evening. Hopefully the next day or two. When is 21 days up?
I believe my offer expires at end of the day Thursday, although they don't actually give an actual date on their comms. I thought allowing 9 days for it to arrive and be scanned was plenty using Royal Mail 48Hrs. Hopefully, will be processed tomorrow otherwise I might be having words with them about delays in the processing of my order that is not of my making.

Just upgraded a friend to iOS 16, and they want the live weather Lock Screen a photo on the Home Screen... this seems impossible to do?
Hmm I have it on mine … just choose the ’both screens’ option. I changed it pretty fast though as the weather here is grey and cloudy a lot of the time! .. rubbish for a lock screen and have now moved to the earth one which I LOVE! .. it has twinkly lights in the night time 😁
 
If anyone is going to any events soon and need to use the AXS Ticket app. Check to ensure it works. It broke with iOS 16 and spent the last hour getting this resolved with AXS.
 
So to concur with everyone else, elderberry is the winner.

Much richer, deep colour of purple than the chalky light storm blue.

Some pics in poor light:
