I wish I could 1) use the IUP without buying AppleCare+ and 2) use my Veterans discount when using the IUP

You're not required to understand what other people do with *their money* or what *their reasoning* is. Let it go and try to find happiness with your decisions.
I’m ready to keep using my 15 pro. Some people seem to have more money, than they have sense.
You don't have to understand. More importantly why do you even care? LOL You do what's best for you.
I got tired of the natural titanium color after a year. I always had the space gray color for pretty much every single phone except for one year I went with white (iPhone 5S). I always keep it in a case, so the biggest difference is the black camera area instead of the grayish color the natural titanium has. I ordered the Denim color case and liked how the black lens looks against the blue.
Skipping this year for the first time ever. I wasn't expecting much from the 16 lineup, but I was definitely hoping for more than we got (particularly the Pros). And the mediocre at best trade-in values easily reinforced my decision to hold onto the 15PM for another year, because it would still cost over $600 to upgrade and the improvements aren't worth that to me.
With that said, definitely keen to see everybody's ordering and delivery experience over the next couple weeks! Always a fun and exciting time on the forums.👏🏼

Why so many glamour shots of the iPhone back? It's the most obnoxious ugly thing to look at. lol
I agree on the arm band front - there’s some over the shoulder sling thing which would annoy me 🐿️
I wear two - a Garmin and an Apple Watch 😂. I don’t go out without a phone though - and a watch isn’t much use for gels and keys….
Haha, I have a buddy that runs with two watches as well.
I just run with my series 6 and leave the phone in the car. It's not cellular; I just like being disconnected for a bit.
Upgraded ultra wide. Better battery. My battery sucks after a year because I keep my phone at or near 100% all the time. I upgrade yearly, so I don't worry about doing that to the battery.
Most boring launch of iPhones. Even the pixels which launched way way after iphones are better in so many ways it's sad. No display improvements other than a tiny barely noticeable removal of bezels which still get covered by phone cases. No faster charging as rumored, they have the slowest charging in premium smartphones. No ram increase. No change in camera other than increasing one camera at a time, greedy af tim apple. Slower storage drives. No improvement in usb c speeds. No reduction of ugly island. No graphene internals, it will still overheat like the terrible 15. No front face camera upgrades, they have the worst in the market. Tell me again why are you going to pay the apple rip off price tag for less?
Following the debut of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple has started letting customers prepare for pre-orders, which are set to begin on Friday, September 13 at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time or 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Payment in full and other payment options are supported.
iPhone Upgrade Program members are able to choose their preferred iPhone 16 model and complete pre-approval steps that include checking upgrade eligibility, securing credit lines, and confirming shipping details.
Apple has offered a "Get Ready" feature for several years now, providing customers with a streamlined way to pre-order their iPhones with the tap of a button.
Pricing on the iPhone 16 starts at $799, while the iPhone 16 Plus is priced at $899. The iPhone 16 Pro is available starting at $999, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max is available starting at $1,199.

Didn't ask me but I'll shoot anyways. Better battery. More buttons. Better screen (display+glass).
Also; shiny and new.
Looks some people get so annoyed when others buy something new LOL Maybe they wish they could do the same, who knows.... I also got angry emojis because I'm getting a new iPhone LOL

I really don't want to buy any case for it ... because I like that color so much! I have Apple Care+ so it should cover most 'problems'.
I need the Apple Watch 10 and those new AirPods 4 (ANC version), too. Wish those were in Teal, too!
I do the same. I upgrade every year (and we should not need to explain why we do it). I normally trade in my previous iPhone and pay the remining balance using the cash back that I accumulated on my Apple Card. I've never used the Upgrade program but I have used Apple card installments and I liked it. Very convenient and seamless to me.
Also, I don't understand why people are giving you angry emojis, like if they were paying for your iPhone LOL bunch of losers.
they hold their value, so you can sell privately and upgrade at a limited cost (say, 1-2$ per day), maintaining warranty
