‘FineWoven’ - sounds like something Apple would do.

Edit: But surely too many colour options and the action button appears to be missing.

Good thinking, I forgot about the action button...hopefully it will still arrive this year.

There’s a trade off between hardness to resist scratches and softness to resist shattering.

Yeah, that was the gist of the article I read on Gorilla Glass evolution

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

I bet we do. The dollar price is the baseline so I think if it goes up, all the other prices do too.

99.99% guaranteed if US prices go up so does everywhere else.

Does anyone bother getting a replacement iPhone from Apple under Apple care+ to then sell on or trade in with MM? You take a hit on the excess fee but means you should qualify for the best trade in value.

If the attraction is getting a scratch-free shiny new screen, it's only £25 on the PM with AppleCare+. Given that the Music Magpie price differential right now I'm typing this is £720 (Excellent - no scratches) v £612 (Good - scratches allowed) for the 14PM 256GB, so £108, it could be a no-brainer to anyone whose screen is scratched to go down the AppleCare+ route before trading in. Food for thought!

you can’t claim on AC+ to get the screen replaced can you for scratches, So clumsy moment needed

Nothing cosmetic, no.

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.

you need to look on Uswitch .. O2 have excellent pricing there!

If only someone had posted that info only a few posts back… 🤣

Can be easily resolve no…?

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.

Because the thread isn’t about the model you are buying!! That’s a bi-product of the thread!! The thread is about the process and experience and hyped excitement of watching, pre-pre-ordering, preordering, dispatching and receiving.

 

[dbrose]

If we can be bothered we can have the extended poll on the website.

Lol yup .. I was late to the party, sorry. I saw your post after I’d answered 😁 .. Uswitch are good though .. it’s a shame EE don’t have their stuff on there any more

 

[Sal09]

No poll 😄

Thats my vote sorted.

Yeah that would make sense plus help keep things in order. I'm in the Pro camp too, I'm sure the non Pro buyers would appreciate a separate thread too from the Pro's.

His follow up post does make them look convincing!

So these were faked

 

[Fried_Gold]

Splitting the UK thread into Pro/Standard is silly and I hope it’s not the direction we are going….

 

[Supersonicc]

Yes, actually creating two threads for Pro and non-Pro's when the usual carnage happens would break MacRumors forums! Keep us crazies in one place! 😄

So these were faked

This upgrade cycle seems to be particularly bad for fakes, concepts or renders being passed off as real.

As Morpheus would ask… “what is real?” I just can’t tell anymore

 

[dbrose]

Couldn’t agree more with this

iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro dummy units show off the most boring color options ever - 9to5Mac

Earlier this week, we shared new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro renders that offered our closest and most accurate...

Just wish they brought some bright colours to the pro line.

Gotta be that grey for me looking at these! I think/hope it'll match quite nicely to the aluminium silver on Macs.

The Space Black crew will be disappointed - looks a lot lighter than the 14 Pro series. The Silver back looks more cream/golden than white in hue while the Blue model is giving Pacific Blue vibes.

Not sure I am a fan of the grey in that pic 😬👀 I might be trembling on the fence like you this year!

I will help you get through it like you did me last year. In your own way. 😂

(I lowkey agree with you though. I think we may only know after the event and hands ons, and maybe not even then!)

You were changing your mind so much you just needed me to tell you what you were doing! 😂

yep, hopefully no delays in the pro Max.. or at least a quick completion of the pre-pre on the 22nd for an initial batch before dates slip!

not had that tension of missing out on launch day stock in a good few years as Apple have made the process quite slick now

those days of 8am pre-orders and missing out if you didn't get one in by 8.07 seem like they've long gone.

Yeah I hope there is no delays in the Pro Max. Always had the larger screen, then decided to give the the 13 Pro a go. But missed the extra screen space and trying to train my fat thumbs wasn't fun.
