Resolved When would be a good time to start to look for iPhone 16 accessories?

[a-m-k]

I mean a case and screen protector. If I have the timing right from reading rumors, there is 41 days left until pre-order which means 48 days until release. I don't remember if I ordered everything on the same day when I ordered my iPhone 12 mini, but everything arrived on the same day. Any advice is appreciated, thank you.

Did you search for those products online? There seems to be a few choices available right now

Someone suggested I wait until I order my iPhone. I want the max, but I’m still thinking about it. Do you know the benefits of the max versus the regular version of an iPhone? Other than the third camera lense.

oh this has been, and continues to be, a hot topic of discussion. even after ordering or purchasing, people often switch or consider it. in short generally “better” camera specs, battery life and of course larger screen. speakers are arguably better as well. but that’s on paper. try going into a store and comparing the 15 pro and 15 pro max for the hand feel and user experience, including one handed usage and pocketability. Then remind yourself the 16’s will be slightly bigger, thicker and heavier 🤣

Definitely-
get the phone first, make sure you want to keep it, then shop around for accessories

I was expecting to get the iPhone 18 if there will be such a thing because when my 6s was discontinued, I had to upgrade to the 12 mini. I am pretty careful with anything electronic, so I was going to be in good shape. Though, the battery was probably going to be replaced soon if it weren't for the iPhone 18 coming out. So, since I'm upgrading, even if the capacity is really bad. I am not replacing the battery. It would be foolish to spend money on a battery for an iPhone I was going to use for a month in a half or so.

BTW. I am glad the mini was discontinued years ago. It'll be interesting though, I have very little hands for being an adult.

So they’re (the cases) going to be ready when the iPhone 16 is officially released? If so, great!

I'm just waiting until tomorrow. I can't believe it's already Thursday. To most, I bet debut week seems to drag on especially if you are anticipating something already pre-ordered.)
