I predict that influencer reviews will all be positive :eek: User reviews over the next week will hold more value for me.👍
That's the second time you've made such a remark.

You are aware we're also getting reviews from the likes of the notoriously hard-to-please Nilay Patel/The Verge, and other sources, not just YouTubers?

It's the only info we'll get before Friday when the peasants in the public can get them and I for one am excited to read and watch them all, however sycophantic, while we patiently wait for users to get them and pass their own judgments.

In absence of anything else going on for 37 minutes (but who's counting :)) - anyone else interested in the new settings for pulse width modulation (PWM) out of interest?
I've been getting headaches since my eyesight got worse, clearly connected to device use (making worse if not the cause), and i'll be very interested to see if it makes any difference.
 
Hi guys,

I'm a bit late to the (Apple) party - first Apple device was the X. Missed the pre-orders, will be in London on Friday. Any point in going to the store or are people still queueing at ridiculous hours/no stock without pre-order on those first days?
Never done anything like it...

Thanks!

Who's counting indeed! I know I'm not!

Let me guess, you ordered an Air? I'm sure it will work out just fine for you. 🤣 🤣

Depends a bit on what you're looking for. The Air still had pickup slots available for friday at several stores (colour/memory dependent).

Pro's/Pro Max's are unlikely - in the past they used to have a few walk ins set aside, but I gather last year they didn't (at least at most stores). But after friday/saturday, you have much better chance.

TLDR - Air? yes, arrange a pickup slot now. Pro / Pro Max? Maybe try the Regent Street store (as its the flagship) but no promises. You'd want to get there early, as others will have the same idea.

Not entirely sure what you're blithering on about. 😂

But I would feel exactly the same about the reviews regardless of what I ordered, or even if I didn't order at all.

Anyway, enjoy not caring about any of the reviews in 25 minutes, and I hope you are captivated by all those user reviews you're so excited for from Friday onwards! 😆

Thanks! I was actually looking at AWU3 in natural and 17P in 256GB orange 🥶
I'll see how the weather is on Friday...

Several stores including Regent street have the AWU3 for pickup available on friday (may depend on band, but I selected natural titanium).
If they have an early slot (unlikely but you never know) then maybe book that, and while you're in there anyway, ask the nice person about walk in stock for 17P (they may have knowledge of eg. if they're getting some in later or saturday etc).

Ps. Weather looks good on friday...

the Flip 7 and the Fold 7
While we’re waiting …

The Flip is superficially attractive, but I have question marks about the weight. As a big user of an iPad mini, the Fold might be a neat solution, but it’s very heavy as a phone. And delicate. And expensive.

I have downgraded my loathing of iOS 26 to mere dislike. You can almost get rid of it with the right settings. But there are still many elements that are clunky and it is very buggy.
