It's so good having a big screen again.

I went from the iPhone 6S Plus -> X -> XS Max

nitebeatdisco: Sim eject is included, it’s the lightning to headphone adapter that isn’t included.
1st impressions love the dislay and how responsive it all feels and having upgraded from an iPhone X I can say that Face ID works a lot smoother and is definitely a step closer to the “no password “ experience that apple intended.

I would have preferred an underscreen touch id, in order to also get rid of the notch. Or maybe both, so you can unlock without actually looking at the screen. I don't think Steve Jobs would have allowed either the notch or camera bump as both are very unapple like in terms of design compromises, similar to that case that had the hump.  If they had made the XR without faceID and notch, but with an underscreen touch ID sensor, that would have been a killer phone except for the lack of a headphone jack. Except it would look better the the XS which is the upsell.

I preordered my 44mm watch with Noel Leeming with a promise that they would have them today (21/09/18) just phoned and none of the stores have received Apple Watch delivery today at all.  I ordered with Apple but my delivery was 16/10/18 so though that NL may get them earlier.  Not entirely happy but will see what the rest of the day brings.  

 

 

 

They told me that the model I was after (44mm Gold Sport Loop) would have 21 watches in and only three preorders for it.  

 

Strange?? I contacted NL online found there was one 44 grey at Palmy (im at Wanga) orderded it online for pickup wanga the person on the chat checked and order processed and transfer in place for Palmy to wanga ...or so they say Like you will wait and see if I get a confirmation form wanga

They had two gold ones left in stock when i spoke to them at 12

I think we should all take a breath and applaud Apple marketing department, and their ability to conduct us into this frenetic "must have now!" fervor of buyers. 

Thought I would hold off until next year's iPhone, but playing with the Xs Max in the store today ... that display is absolutely beautiful :O

Need some more nights to sleep on it. Goddamn Apple marketing team.

Do it.

I had a play at NL with a Watch 4...if only they had SS ones in NZ...didn't like the look/feel of the Aluminium...especially at $750.00

I finally caved in and picked up an Xs from PBTech. I'm gonna keep it in the box and see if I get buyer's remorse a few days later. But for now:

Apple - 1
Me - 0
