What a phone that was!
OG Razer phone… 🥰
Not the horrid iTunes version that followed. 👀
Getting all your ducks in a row is crucial to the initial launch moments.

Go Pro Max or go home.
Good spot, but it could be dummy devices based on Canadian CADs.
[Edit] - Isn’t he also based in Australia?
Hence why I said hopefully. I'm on Tesco Mobile myself so if the UK models go eSIM only I'll be unable to upgrade without changing carrier.
Not sure where's he's based.

Colour poll on the Pro models is usually a decent chance to see what is the most and least popular variants.
@dbrose really top effort with a dedicated website for all the useful info. 👏
@Jinjin yeah I'd say keep the first 15 post like a lean index this year with links for people to access what they want to see.

Having a slow day at work so thinking more about iPhones today than anything else
I went case-less for the first time with my 12PM, and have never used screen protectors. After 10 months, the 12PM was still pristine. However, with both the 13PM and 14PM, I've picked up various screen scratches, despite not really changing my lifestyle.
Has anyone else noticed a 'softer' screen with the 13/14 series? I remember reading somewhere that the advances in Gorilla Glass over the years have resulted in glass less likely to shatter, but more likely to scratch.
Seriously considering having a screen protector for my 15PM, whether that be an Apple store-fitted protector, or an aftermarket protector fitted as soon as I receive it

What about…
A thread for the non Pros And a thread for the Pros, with links to each other in OP?
Im not interested in non Pro stuff, so it makes sense from that perspective and keeps things a little tidier.
A hardened glass screen protector is in my possession before my new iPhone even arrives.Having a slow day at work so thinking more about iPhones today than anything else

It gets applied as soon as the Phone turns up and is done before even the restore is started.
Every year, I promise myself I’ll go caseless.
Every year, I fail to keep that promise.
‘FineWoven’ - sounds like something Apple would do.
Edit: But surely too many colour options and the action button appears to be missing.
Yeah they do but I pay £9 a month for 12GB data and unlimited min and texts. Closest option on O2 is 10GB data with unlimited min and texts for £15 a month.

[Edit] An example after turning on the o2 filter…

There’s a trade off between hardness to resist scratches and softness to resist shattering.Having a slow day at work so thinking more about iPhones today than anything else

His follow up post does make them look convincing!
No action button?
They’ve even removed lining from the sides. I am 😮
That looks like cheap stuff you can buy for under a tenner on Ali Express.

Some of us have been here a long time, I remember posting in 2008 when I waited at O2 to upgrade to from the first iPhone to the 3G. Someone else who was in the line at our local O2 store was also on the forum. Good times!

I’m hoping the UK doesn’t see a price increase as we were hit with one last year and our friends over the pond where not… however I do realise that is extreme wishful thinking on my behalf
