Yay, 15 Pro in da blue for Friday
@christianselig I have to wait till the 29th. Deciding between blank and natural, natural goes with the watch obviously, and I do like my clear cases, getting the new dbrand one anyway.
@christianselig I got the same! What’s your storage configuration? I got 512 GB.
@AliAlmo 256! I normally go with 128 so treated myself a bit haha

@christianselig

Congrats, Christian!

Oddly one of the phones I ordered today doesn't show it will auto-register with my phone carrier, but the other phone does.

The orders went through, but the first phone I ordered did error out in an odd way while I was completing it (though I got the email verification of the order). And this is the phone not showing the carrier information.

I guess I'll find out next Friday! As long as the phone arrives, I can work it out with my carrier.

@ulkesh What does auto-registering do? Isn't activating a SIM pretty straightforward nowadays?

@christianselig Yeah, it is. It's just odd that my wife's phone (the one that worked fine) is showing it, but my daughter's phone (the one that errored oddly, but still went through) isn't.

Auto-registering basically makes it so the setup process of the device automatically transfers the phone number to the new device. I'm not sure that will occur with my daughter's phone this time, so we'll just have to do it after the fact, most likely (and worst case, go to my carrier's store to handle it).

@christianselig nice! I grabbed mine in natural titanium, I was torn between blue and that one
@christianselig you’re so lucky, in China there are some problems with Apple’s site/app, I got in and then kicked out and then back in the store multiple times. It’s a trending topic on Weibo right now. Decided I won’t preorder now as the wait is pushed to mid October 😞
@richaesthetic Aww, sorry to hear. Maybe try the Apple Store on launch day?
@christianselig the blue felt like the best choice of an otherwise lackluster pallete. Got the pro max myself, and other than having to wait for the store to be ready, everything went smoothly. Excited for my new ultra watch and the phone to be here on the 22nd
@christianselig 🥳 same color for me. 😄
@christianselig today is that time of the year I wish my app’s revenue were enough to pay for a new iPhone. Well, I wish this every day, and specially today. 🥺
@christianselig nice! I have to wait until November because no stores have local pickups for <1TB, which I don't want to shell out for
@christianselig can you take a pic when you receive it? I’m curious if that blue matches the M2 MBA. 😮
