Can't wait for 1PM UK tomorrow. 2 x Pro 256gb, Sierra blue and Gold. The wife is upgrading from a Gold XS, and I am upscaling from a Mini :) .
 
First time in years that I won’t be upgrading. iPhone 13 will be a fail in terms of sales.
Same here. Besides pro motion, there's nothing exciting to me that will make me trade in my 12 pro max. Not to mention the worse color options of the 13 pro max
 
This will be the very first iPhone I do not pre-order (unless my current one fails). Why?
Coincidentally also the second or third Apple announcement video I didn't watch. Why?

I do not know why.


I have stood in line, pre-ordered or rushed to get the newest device on every single generation since the very first iPhone - but something's changed. Maybe it was the recent privacy intrusions announced that throw red flags on value shifts Apple has secretly made over the decade. Maybe it's the lack of truly innovative features for those of us who have aged out of Memoji. Maybe it's the dull leadership hyper focused on their number one product: stock.

Cinema mode - the outcome from 34,000 corporate employees? I mean, really?

Or is it because the device has reached a maturity that not much else is needed to make life better?

Has the price point become something I can no longer justify?

OK we heard you

I'm excited for the Pro Motion display, that is a really big deal.

But I also just want to get back on the September cycle after what happened last year.
 
Glad us on the east coast don't have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn to preorder anymore.

Who else is waiting to see them in person before deciding on the color?

It's probably because you have reached maturity. The same thing happened to me a few years back.
 
I can’t believe the amount of knuckleheads that buy the Pro Max. Big ass honking, heavy, unwieldy beast of a phone. Even heavier and thicker now. Nuts! That being said. All setup to go trading in my 12 Pro with Apple and got the 13 Pro ready.

I don't disagree however the battery on my iPhone 11 Pro is hardly making it through the day and I've been wanted to get the Pro Max. If it wasn't for the crazy trade in deal with AT&T, I'd probably wait another year, but $1000 for my trade in?!?!? Can't pass that up.
I got that deal last year on my 11 ProMax traded in a beat up 8 Plus.. This year I switched to Verizon and got a $650 gift card, plus $200 iPad plus $100 Apple Watch for switching. For the 13 I'm going unlocked through Apple with $500 trade in.
 
Who's the genius that coined the word "pre-order"? When I ORDERED my iPad mini on Tues it's considered ORDERED isn't it?
