Well... I was indecisive up to the point of order... ended up with red instead of green. Stupidly, I had second thoughts, tried to go back and change to green and the site crashed on me. Took 30 minutes to get my cart back, once I got it back, I quickly hit submit!
My wife got purple...
64gb for both... most everything I use is in the cloud, no need for more storage.

I got the Midnight Green 11 Pro 64g for 9/20/19 delivery this morning, canceled it at around noon, and settled on the black 11 128 gig
Interesting.. the plot thickens!
WTF does this even mean? haha. Love it.

Some questions for Apple.
Why include the additional wide lens instead of the zoom lens in the iPhone 11? Clearly everyone cares about zooming in rather than wide angle shots. If they had gone the other way, ie normal plus zoom on the 11, I reckon many more people would not have gone for the Pro.
LCD vs OLED, got it ... OLED is better in day light but come on, taking the piss for another 600 AUD.
Its been said before, such a stupid selection of colours. Who at Apple makes these decisions? My guess is they went with colours that are so out there, being that when you see them in the real world it is very obvious you are looking at an iPhone.
Indeed...this morning I indulged giddy visions of removing the protective plastic film of the 11 pro and experiencing the very first sensations of that textured matte glass back. But then, in the relentlessly revealing light of the midday sun, I was forced to face the inner turmoil between my desires and needs. I like to think I emerged a better person, the iPhone 11 forever a symbol of my victory. But verily, as my wife pointed out, I’m only going to have it for like 11 months probably and it’s just a phone. ...such is the hero’s journey.
I hope you dont wake up tonight with a flash of panic, cancel your 11, and order an 11 Pro Max in Gold. Stay strong and steady!
Ha thanks, and same to you! The path of upgrades can be like walking the razor’s edge. Especially with the IUP!
I have not gotten on IUP. if not for jailbreak complicating upgrade cycles of things unless I get hasty which I often do (though I’ve learned the lesson enough to never fully abandon a jailbreak device until I have the newer one jailbroken and good to go) and also generally just not liking the idea of amortizing a phone, that would be like crack to my Apple product addiction.
I hear you. Yep, I feel like amortizing the phone really makes me see it as just the monthly cost vs the full value of the actual liability I take on with each upgrade. But what am I gonna do? Apple’s marketing and financing geniuses are good at what they do. Pretty cool that you have your own upgrade process vs letting Apple pretty much decide for you like I do...lol.
Relatively uncharted territory too, tho...
I was a subsidy junkie, even got X on contract haha. But I’ve had same carrier forever and same plan for long periods of time, on some unlimited w tethering that’s like $180 for 3 lines so unlimited talk text and data and tethering for $60 a pop isn’t bad or something I could do any better prepaid w great coverage and consistency so contracts were moot even though that factored into the subsidy. Just never felt actually bound to anything or incentivized to move to another carrier and their set of issues unique to them.
7+ is the first and so far in a technical sense only phone I’ve truly paid full retail for (although i guess 6+ Outright too but I got 85% value for my contract 6 around when it had just come out so that was cheating) just when 2 year contracts as a mainstream thing fell by the wayside in US on major carriers, though 6s+ sold on Craigslist offset a bit
Xr Though I technically bought outright too traded in my 7+ to Apple right away to make it a $500 net endeavor on my credit card, instantly and effortlessly
You can hear a lot of rationalizing in my description

I really don’t know what color I’d get if I got the 11
The one that’s surprising me more than I thought was yellow ! I’m digging it but totally confused by this years color palette
The purple and green are quite neat too
