I have the 13 pro. I used to upgrade every 2 years since the iPhone 3GS. I think I’m going to skip this one and see what the iPhone 16 brings. I just don’t see enough of an update to justify the cost.

    Upgrading from my 13 PM to a 15 PM. My bi annual upgrade. Skipped the 14 but really want the satellite SOS for my family. There’s been a few times over the last 2 years when we were out of cell service range and I was slightly anxious. If a minor upgrade can address that then it’s time.

    The main purposeni see people upgrading is if youre trying to reduce the number of chargers you carry around to 1, if youre a person who carries other devices like a macbook (and choose to charge over usb c instead of magsafe) or other devices like handheld gaming and such. Else. Smartphones in general have gotten to the point where people are only upgrading to fix a bad battery.

    I got in around 8:15 and my shipping window was already pushed back to October 4-7.

    Did you order a pro max. I heard that initially they were going to delay it a week or so due to production delays, but then kept the same launch date.

    I got in as soon as the pre order went live and got Oct 2-4 for mine. I wonder if they did a soft delay or something.

    I woke up at 5am and for the next 20 panic soaked minutes, I refreshed the app and the web to finally nab one by Friday. Apple royally broke pre orders this year so I guess count yourself lucky you didn’t fight through that crap

    Canada here. Woke up at 5:10am pst. App was down. Refreshed like mad. Didn’t get an order in until 5:45pst. 15 pro max. Still delivering Sept 22 in Canada. They must have different stock set aside for each country.

    Oh I was frantically refreshing myself. It said I could pick it up at the Apple Store in 9/22 but then wouldn’t let me purchase the phone with that option. This was the worst pre-order I’ve ever experienced with Apple.

    Took me about 15 minutes to get in on the app, then it kept erroring trying to load the preorder. Finally got through on the website and it loaded without issue.

    I was attempting from a laptop the entire time and it didn't look like pre-orders actually went live until ~7-10 minutes after the hour.

    For in for my 15 Plus and my wife’s 15. September 22nd showing as the ship date. We upgrade every 3 years, so we’re excited to move to the next phones. 12 -> 15 is a decent leap in tech.
