They made a “bronzer orange” phone just for the guy responsible for that….

I agree! The only thing that disappointed me slightly was IIRC the Google equivalent of the live translation feature actually mimics the speaker's voice, vs. using the assistant voice. That's pretty cool. BUT, if Apple's implementation ensures greater privacy (which is what I'd assume), it's a small price to pay.
Finished my pre-preorder. Can’t wait to get my Cheetos iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB
I was thinking about getting the cosmic orange because it’s the flagship color but I just can’t get behind the PSL color… don’t think Ill ever have a orange phone…
Yeah, and I was one of those people. Couple of times I even brought Krispy Kreme doughnuts to the workers at the UPS CC. And last year UPS put a stop to that. They want you going through the UPS store so they can sell you more goods and services. Probably just as well for me this year because I forgot to request to have launch Friday off, and I work for one of the major carriers, so I’ll get my phone in the late afternoon when I’m done with work oh well.
As much as I'd love to fly with all of you this year, I'm going for the "pickup" option this year. I go on vacation 2 days the following week and I don't want to risk that phone getting delayed for any reason. I still love the fun of UPS tracking though with y'all
Trying to get my pre pre order in on the Apple Store app. I’m leaning towards doing the carrier trade-in T-Mobile deal. I don’t mind being locked to TMo. It’s been great for years for me!
When can I get closer to finishing this pre pre order though? I can’t select ship or store pickup yet. Will that be available before Friday morning?
I want to be as quick as possible Froday morning - don’t want to run into any weird, time-consuming things.
And how does Apple know my account info with TMo to be able to process an upgrade? Hope it all goes smoothly!

I know that she went to discord, along with a few others that used to be in these threads. I went to discord on that for about a week and annoyed that how some of the people, not her though, seem to have a little rules for their clique, so I deleted it and got out of there
heavily debating between the orange and silver Pro Max
initially i was all silver but the orange has grown on me a bit.
Pros of the Silver: neutral color, looks classy like my silver 14in MBP, if i drop it or scratches appear it will be the least visible (i don’t use a case). timeless (chance i get bored/sick of the orange color?). not sure i like the orange side rails popping out when looking at the phone head on
Pros of orange: the new color. not sure i like the “two tone” of the silver + white glass back
so leaning heavily toward the silver. reading this thread, it looks like most if not all are going for orange.
i went with desert titanium last year because it was the new color (didn’t want to get natural titanium again) and was slightly disappointed that it was not really “desert” like brown but more rose gold. in some lights it looks pink. not enough for me to replace the color with something else or put a case/skin on it but still
so kinda hesitant getting this new orange color which is pretty bold
thoughts?

the exact reason I'm not going with orange. I'm probably going with silver.
I hope I'm not going to regret orange, and that it'll pop in certain lighting conditions. I also had natty last year for my pro max, then black when I traded it in for the regular size pro. The black really was classy looking. Natty was nice too, but kinda got bored with it, which would be my concern with the silver this time around.
What are they trying to tell us? Also, the lack of Black or dark Grey is super annoying
It’s been awhile but if we save our setup and do the preorder on Friday, is it ship only or do we get to do a store pickup?
I want to do a store pickup but I feel like I have to order it on the release date to do that. I don’t remember how I did it last time.

I was at first turned off as the 5/8x optical zoom rumor turned out to be wrong, but now I am re-considering. if I go, it'll be 17PM in orange, plus a black leather case, or maybe dark blue.
Apple lowered the trade-in value for my 13PM from $360 to $320 ;(

Going through exactly the same conversation with myself. I also have a desert titanium 16 Pro and the color hasn't grown on me over the year I've had it. I was planning on white this year, but I'm not sure if I like the silver. It seems too industrial to me. But it would match my watch. The orange is growing on me. But I'm not sure I will be happy with it long-term. If it is bronzy I might like it. But if it's cheeto, no. I usually go caseless and I don't really want to hide it because I don't like the color.
I have both orange and white phones ready for pre-order and I guess I'll decide at 5:00 am on Friday when my alarm has just gone off and I haven't had any coffee.
good to see you all again! this year i am doing the 16 Pro in Deep Blue. might actually go caseless this year. have to order through T-Mobile unfortunately rather than Apple
I believe it's when you actually pay on Friday that you set up your store pickup time. I'm not 100% sure either, last year was the first and only time I did it this way.
How come? You can do carrier financing through the Apple app.
Ditto. My UPS driver is an ass whom I've reported several times so now he's retaliating in spades. He refuses to come to the door so I can sign for any signature required package. So instead of chasing him around the neighborhood, I'm also choosing in store pickup, Sept 19 same day and time as my Apple Watch Ultra 3
