i feel orange would look great in-person. Would be so cool to have an orange 17PM, everybody would know from far that its an iPhone Pro/Max, but not sure how it would fare after about 6 months. Playing safe, silver it is for me
Got a tip for us?

initially chose silver, but then switched to blue, just didn't feel the white/silver theme.
have no other option. im a slave
No, I use chatGPT for everything anyway. I’m still getting a new iPhone
Yes, charging that fast will cause faster degradation than slow charging, though more impactful is probably whether you charge to 100% or not. I use a 12W charger max, the one from my iPad mini, but try to use a 5W when I can. My 14 Plus battery is still at 100% capacity, not sure of the cycle count though
The Apple ones are usually hard plastic, which are slower to yellow, but I still prefer TPU cases that I can get for <$10 on Amazon, because I like how they feel more. They also have less potential to scratch your phone with trapped debris and stuff, in my experience
That is what TheYayaAreaLiving used to say before she was banned, lol. She wanted to have an infinite supply of 5 W chargers because anything more was going to kill her battery even though she changed her phone every year, of course.
Or, maybe they’ve gotten more efficient with the process and need less time.
A little over 7 hours to go. Best of luck tomorrow morning, everyone!
I don’t think it’s a technical thing. I’ve always thought it was more of a marketing hype thing.
Yeah! Same! All I do is browse the web, watch YT, maybe some occasional Twitch streams (using background audio), and a majority of the time I am using PocketCast to listen to my podcasts (using background audio). And a majority of that time I am doing it using Wifi at home or at the office - WTF?!??!
Don't have any games installed on my phone - when I have to game, I use my dedicated devices for it - Nintendo Switch 2 or my gaming PC....
...and this device doesn't have any of the debacle that is Apple AI either, so that shouldn't cause battery drain either....this was the last series of phones that were released before AI became a huge trend in the industry and forced all companies to pivot to AI...
No - unless you use the fancy lossless video and photo features that take up a huge amount of storage on your phone. Even installing lots of games on the device won't fill it up to 1 or 2 TB, IMHO.
For those of you with Verizon and/or have experience with Verizon. I was a long time customer of T-Mo and then switched to Xfinity. Last year I moved and Verizon was my only WiFi option so I switched mobile carriers to bundle with Verizon. I currently have a 16 Pro in perfect condition. The phone is 28% paid off with a remaining balance of $749.30 and the 50% pay off benchmark is $244.30. I am on the Ulimited Ultimate plan. When I go to the Verizon app, under my device if I click on "Ultimate Phone Upgrade" then Shop Phones, for a very brief moment it has the iPhone 17 models listed and in green states "Trade in and save up to $1100.
How does the phone upgrade process work with Verizon? Do I need to pay the 50% amt of $244.30 then am eligible for the 17 Pro with a $1,110.00 credit (which, if I'm not mistaken will leave me with no monthly device payment)? The math seems too good to be true. Thanks in advance for any insight.

It doesn’t to my understanding since no one has actually preordered. All you did was “get ready” to preorder. It all matters when you get in tomorrow morning and actually finish what you started.
The way it works with any carrier I assume, Is the phone must be paid off in full. So whatever the full balance is whether it's $749.30 or anything else. It must be paid in full, and Verizon will give you a monthly credit that probably equals out to 36 payments totaling $1,100.
Nobody has pre-ordered yet, so nobody is in line ahead of anybody else just yet. iUP pre-approval or pre-selecting your item for pre-order isn’t the same as actually pre-ordering
Bruh this is the first time I am pre-ordering an Iphone in over a decade. I didnt even know they took the damn store down lol, but I think I will be okay. I am going for a 17 pro in silver and will be up bright and early to order right at 5.
