APPLE THREAD | Apple Event Sept. 12th 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m. EDT | iPhone 15

I'll bet you guys will end up switching phones with each other.

i would have honestly preferred the mini but i needed the storage that the Pro offered. with that said, now that I have the 12 pro I don't think i'll be able to down grade due to the camera

 

[ootherocoo]

Bruv, this pro Max feels HUGE!!! It’s about the same size as my 11 Pro Max, but it’s less comfortable in hand. It’s beautiful though.

 

[lamekilla]

2 hours in with setting up and using the 12 Pro Max and it feels perfect. Not too much of a change in the ergonomics coming from a 7 Plus but everything is so smooth and so fast. HOWEVER.... this USB-C situation is inconvenient. Luckily I have the new IPad Pro so I can use the block for that but I feel like I’m being forced to invest in wireless charging. On top of that I’ve been using a USB cable to connect my phone to my car and use CarPlay. It’s looking like I’m gonna have to find some type of dongle to do that now but those aren’t looking cheap neither

 

[dacomeup]

This 12 Pro Max is so much heavier than my 7 pro

Pacific Blue looks much better in person then in pics, glad I went with it. Can't bear putting this in a case.

yeahI’m looking at my graphite side eyed now after seein clearer pictures of the blue.

Saw the 12 pro max in person. Now my 12 pro feels small...I wanted to try a max version for the first time. It’s cool I guess.

Having major issues. Transfer over my information. As my apps were loading back up, the phone locked (my option is set to every 30 seconds) tried to open it back up yo check the status, it didn’t take my passcode (keep in mind, I had already set up Face ID with the new phone) so I kept trying my passcode and got the message it’s disable after 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 mins and now 1hr. Kept trying my passcode. Even tried to restore through iTunes, no luck. Hope I can see someone at Apple store tomorrow, I know they’re super busy this weekend.

 

[lamekilla]

Disregard my previous statement about USB lightning port not working with the 12 Pro Max. Supposedly it does. Bout to get in my car and check out if CarPlay works smoothly

 

[da r entertainment]

Screen protector from Amazon was definitely idiot proof and only took me about 5 minutes to install. I gotta run to the AT&T store to grab a new SIM card today as I see they’ve changed them.

 

[cs02132]

Can you guys post that link for the screen protectors again?

just picked up my case
Gonna get a black one too eventually

feels way bigger than my xs max for some reason

Everyone always shows the back of their phones to show the color. I want to see the sides myself. 3/4 shot of the sides and back. Chromed sides feel like they would look cheap as my first thought. What has your opinions been on the sides?

If you forgot your iPhone passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support

If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, use your Mac or PC to reset it.

support.apple.com

This is what they will do at the store. Be sure to restore the phone.

completely forgot we get a free year of apple tv+ with the new phone

the otter case is great especially for the price but i cant use it for everyday, its just too bulky and its a hassle flipping the rubber covers when charging of putting the phone on silence (if you got big fingers you might not even reach) and i am not sure its compatible with wireless charging because its too thick?

 

[kdawg]

Just ordered a 12 mini in black. Got the 128Gb version which I’ve never had before. My current X is 64 so it’s always nice to have some room.

Unlimited data and free Spotify premium too which is good.

They had a trade in deal but it didn’t seem worth it - my business pays for this contract and if I sell the phone I can keep the money so saving a little each month is less useful. I have a 6S too which should be worth something.

how you get that free Apple TV? All I got is I think news and arcade.

its funny but it actually appeared on my 7+, i was looking at the settings and the offer was there so if you still have your old phone check it out if you still have it

 

[kdawg]

I’ve ordered the same type of Spigen rubber case I’ve had for years for grip and impact but if the glass is that tough do I need a screen protector too?

Already got it free with my iPad, so that must be why I didn't get it. Apple TV is underwhelming IMO.

I just got three months of the arcade.

 

[swaggdaddy]

Been getting used to the 12PM and as far as size it's still a little smaller than my note 8 when I put them side by side

 

[lamekilla]

After 24 hours with the 12 Pro Max, dare I say this is hands down the best iPhone ever created? Yes

Amazon product ASIN B07WRKXQ8W
All you need my friend, and maybe I MFI 6ft UBS c to lighting cable

I’m still on the 8+. I ride it out till either my phone breaks or I lose it. Never team #raw. I’ve dropped my phone so many times and it’s still good. I upgraded to iOS 14 from 12 a while back and it was a tough decision because I always have my devices jailbroken. But I wanted the new watch and I’m glad that checkra1n released one for A11 devices now.

 

[cs02132]

Coming from an xs max to 12 pro max I can def tell a difference now after using it for a day. The screen is nicer and the phone in general is just way more snappy. The speaker is loud af

I do like how the xs max feels in hand better though. I prefer the rounded edges
