It’s about that time again! Going to be ordering from Apple again this year if I do go for the 12. Who’s excited? ETA: Also this includes Apple Store orders as well. Not sure how many are actually open for order pickup though.

I noticed some posts mentioning there isn’t a carrier thread. I didn’t realize each carrier had its own thread.

Preorder day feels like a holiday for Apple fans 🎉
Bags packed, wallets ready — iPhone 17 journey starts now!​

Love the orange - finally they did something a bit outside the box for the Pro colors.

 

[MsRandall]

I don’t know what color now since black doesn’t exist in the 17 pro max

 

[menist]

All starts at 256GB, base model is the one to get!

 

[jumphopspin]

Silver or blue? Hmm. Huge pass on the orange.

 

[Ameer_1]

The iPhone trade-in price has increased

Agree. Post announcement-it's the max for me. I was undecided before.

So let the fun begin for another year, they should rename this "hell week" like they do in the military.

“hell two weeks” 😂

 

[maverick22]

Orange PM for me! What’s the price for 1 / 2 TB though?

Oh, and what time do preorders usually go live on Friday?

 

[Garethe86]

You're right, I forgot about waiting a week for the shipping/pickup phase.

I didn’t quite get that. Is that through Apple or the carrier’s? I know he said 13 and up.

 

[emperormacnut]

Hello, friends. It’s been a while. I did not upgrade last year, but I al excited to dig in this year! Question for my fellow Verizon people. Do you use the Apple app, or the Verizon app for your pre orders?

1TB = $1,599
2TB = $1,999

“Hell week” is during navy seals selection process, not the Marine Corps. Marine Corps’ equivalent is “the crucible” at the end of boot camp.

It's like an annual reunion, but without the annoying relatives, I hope.

Hi friends! We are back!! I want to see the orange in the hands-on vids before I decide on color. As always I’m a pro girly. The cameras are a must for me.

 

[OrlandoTragic]

One thing I noticed is that they didn't do TechWoven wallets - just cases. That's lame. I really like using a MagSafe wallet on the back of my phone and now the textures and colors won't match at all.

Correct. Thank you. I edited original post.

 

[ifrit05]

I'm a little confused, I can't directly trade-in to Apple and finance an unlocked iPhone? It's locking me into specific carriers... When did this change? (Last model I financed was a 14 Pro Max)

 

[Garethe86]

Hi friends! We are back!! I want to see the orange in the hands-on vids before I decide on color. As always I’m a pro girly. The cameras are a must for me.

And that's been my downfall with so many products, the fact that pictures and screenshots make colors look so much more vivid on screen. The orange needs to be more copper for me, not creamsicle like I've seen on some websites.

I have black in the 16 pro so I'm not missing it this year, I'm ready for a change. But I would have liked a really brilliant red, so it's 2 years in a row without a red? Well, maybe next year.

 

[texasturner]

Orange pro max for me. Not sure if 512 or 1 TB though

 

[Xoterin]

And...... we are back for my favorite time of year! I'll forever be Team Pro Max. Undecided on color.

Just in time for Halloween

 

[sarcasticgamer]

Thoughts on the iPhone 17 Pro colors? What do you guys think of the orange and blue?

 

[Pipper99]

I was thinking about the Air, but, no, it’s still Pro Max for me. Orange! I do like the blue, though.
