For those who have received theirs, how's the performance / battery ?

I forgot to plug mine in overnight on the first night. It was still on 78% the next morning. I could probably go a couple of days without charging it if I needed to. Performance-wise, not a stutter, but bear in mind I'm comparing it to an XS for which the stutters were fairly regular on iOS 16.

iPad Pro 11" + iPhone 15 Pro Max + 2degrees 4tw!

15 Plus 128Gb, coming from a XR. Battery is the main reason I upgraded and its impressive so far. Arrived yesterday afternoon at 73% I did all the setup and transfer then played around a bit, usual usage. Flight mode overnight and right now its at 46% with nearly 3 hours of screen on time. That is MILES better than the XR which would do 5 hours screen time in a full charge. Won't charge the 15 till its close to flat.

Camera not surprisingly is a massive step up in quality and low light performance. Screen is bigger & better in fact everything is better really but thats not saying much from where I came from.

Very interested to see how many hours screen on I can bang out of it, over 12 and it will be a 3 day between charges phone for me.

15 Pro. Real world use has been pretty decent so far, can always last a whole work day and then some (ending at about 25%-40% with variable use, coming off a charger at 5-6am before heading back home around 7-8pm). I can definitely expect it to be killed in a full day if I really pushed it though! I do plan to keep it sitting on a wireless charger going forward.

Didn't change any extra settings like turning off background refresh, AOD is on, and is connected to an Apple Watch.

Performance is butter as expected lol. I wouldn't expect this to lag at all or it to be an issue anytime soon!

For those wondering when the next shipment will come for 2degrees - The customer service rep over the phone told me that he was informed that the next iPhone batch/shipment will arrive on 2nd of October.

Yeah when they screwed up my order for the launch date delivery. A manager at 2degrees told me that the system shows next shipment is on the 2nd of October too. but with the usual "but it's not confirmed, and anything can change at anytime."

Really hope we will get it soon!

Same. received the email 6 mins ago. :)

Ordered 6am on launch date for the same device/colour.

Wonder what ancient system they are using for the dispatch email. The email domain for help & support, and logo are all old.

So far very happy with my Pro Max 15 in Titanium.

Noticeably (if not radically) lighter and slightly smaller in hand than my 14.

New camera is great - the optical zoom works well as do the other software features and tweaks in "primary" lens mode.

Battery life seems in line with the Pro Max 14, when considering the additional "fiddling time" it is currently being subjected to.

Fast and smooth, but you would expect that and not noticeably different from the previous one here. Haven't tried any gaming on it yet.

Not a life changing upgrade, but a pleasing one and this cycle I have bought outright so no longer tied to 2D monthly payments.

Glad you got your new toy, but I would be annoyed about this!

Whether it is planning to be around to sign, or merely being aware that an expensive device is actually in transit to you on the off-chance that something goes awry, it is pretty fundamental for the vendor to give you this information in good time.

Tell me about it. but at this stage with the amount of things 2D stuffed up with this pre-order. I am just happy I have it in my hands now.

Just so people know to look out for any unexpected delivery.

Another thing is on the parcel there's no receiver name only my address, just another thing lol
