That was my first experience ordering a launch product online. 

 

I had my order confirmation email at 12.20am

 

Current status is ‘Preparing to ship’

 

Arrival listed as Friday 24th Sep

 

Graphite 13 pro 128gig 

 


The hardest part was choosing the colour lol. I was really tempted by the blue.

Incredibly underwhelming, haven’t even added LIDAR to the base 13, which has grown in size and weight over the 12.

In my experience, I too would recommend people to order through the app next launch day, I got on with a breeze bang on 12am. And save your config to favourites for faster checkout.
Gutted I didn’t make my mind up about getting the Pro Max on Friday, now have to wait until mid-late October!

So I gave my dollars to NL for a pro max. Be interesting to see when it arrives. I had also sold my watch 6 not realizing that the 7 was going to be delay. So I thought I would get a 6se in the meantime, i hadn't tried one before. It arrived next day, then I suddenly realized that I needed a Iphone to fire it up! Duh!

I'm nearly always a 3 year cycle. I'm slightly tempted for a 13 pro as an upgrade for my XR. Problem is my XR doesn't annoy me in any way and even with apple's interest free its a lot to stump up.

I was very tempted by the Fold. Maybe the 4. I did get to actually see one in Noel Leeming the other day. It was nice. Shame the S21 cameras aren't on it.

Has anyone moved an eSIM from one iPhone to another?

 

According to apple’s guide it seems like a painless process, but I’m not looking forward to the possibility of something going wrong if Spark stores are closed during level 3.

Yea you will be sweet , you just gotta either go to a spark store or if in lockdown just call their customer service and they will send you a new barcode to scan.
