No kidding, haha!!

Like Y. I was ready to put my order in. At least I’m not with the IUP program anymore because I would have to pay an extra month. But damn imagine the 17 people if they want to upgrade the phone will almost be paid off.

Can't wait to see how iPhone DUO looks in person

 

[4sallypat]

Duo looks great!

Can't believe it's not the same preorder date as the Pro...

 

[Ameer_1]

Trade in prices look pretty good

 

[joefrank64k]

Pricing isn’t as bad as the doomsayers were predicting.

 

[3Rock]

I would still like to see the ram amount for the 1TB version. (duo)

Noticed my 16e trade in price dropped $40 from yesterday 😡

 

[IconIc215]

The Duo is nice but not for me. I think I would miss the traditional phone shape after the honeymoon phase wore off. Easy choice for me now that we are getting black… 18 Pro Max.

 

[Apleeseed84]

Hey so for those who have the next up “yearly” upgrade plans for the big three carriers, do they add your current device for the trade in price? I think I started to see it when I did the iphone 16 pro to iPhone 17 pro upgrade but wasn’t sure. Thanks

 

[CandyCane23049]

Sticking with a pro. Coming from a 14 Pro.

 

[quagmire]

If I am on the old( better) upgrade program, how does it work in terms of trading in my 17 Pro Max?

 

[Greatniss]

F it in for the duo, hope no issues with preordering as I will be in London for business trip 🙂 in for the snow bunny color

 

[simply_sami]

Pricing isn’t as bad as the doomsayers were predicting.

Maybe not in your region, but UK has got a £300 price increase for 1TB and £500 price increase for 2TB. So maybe the doomsayers were right…

 

[joefrank64k]

Confirmed ProMotion on both displays!!

Pricing isn’t as bad as the doomsayers were predicting.

In Poland 1TB 17 Pro Max price was on Apple 8299,00zł (on deals 7779,00zł). Now iPhone 18 Pro Max 1 TB price is 9 799,00 zł. The price increase is 1 500zł. That's huge price increase more than iPad Pro had

I'm going with a Duo, but I will probably just ignore this thread until close to Octobre 16 - maybe there should be a Duo specific launch thread, since the launch date is month farther out.

 

[chrisdazzo]

Was going with 18 Pro until I saw MagSafe compatibility. Duo Dude(tte)s, let's gooo.

 

[Dj64Mk7]

Noticed my 16e trade in price dropped $40 from yesterday 😡

My 16 Pro dropped from $630 trade in value to $510 😭

The duo is not for me, but now that there’s no silver watch, I’m completely dumbfounded on what to do insofar as upgrading and keeping matching/coordinated colors. I was going to get the silver 18 pro and silver watch 12 and match them with case and band, but it’s not possible now.

Also why are all the techwoven case colors so drab and boring?

 

[Cayden]

Good luck on your orders this year everybody! This will be the first year I haven’t upgraded since my 5S. Just feeling a bit of overall tech fatigue and don’t feel too keen on doing the whole Klarna upgrade program

I was thinking the same thing.
