Apple Event 9/7/22 @ Noon

[Jimy Bilmo]

I had an 11pro max since launch until a month ago. I upgraded to the 13pro max. The 120hz screen is like game changing. Thats all I can really see vs the 11 pro max in terms of notable differences. I was just mesmerized by the fluid screen animations. Now from the 13pro max to the 14pro max I dont see any value to upgrade. But going to that 13 pro max screen was like WOW. I didnt realize it was that much better. And also the battery is bigger in the 13pro max over the last 11 and 12 pro max and it shows. I wont be getting the new iphone but I might get that new apple watch ultra. Only reason is I really like large face watches and its the biggest its ever been now at 49mm. My current series 7 is 45mm I think. Still think its too small.

I’ll give you $150 for the series 7

I have a SE from last year or the year before? I dont even wear it every day since I cant wear it at work in the warehouse. So I usually just do weekends, if I even remember.

I didn’t even realize that has changed since I payed no attention to the 12/13 since I was fine with my 11. That’ll be a sick upgrade.

Same. Went from an 8 to the 11 Pro Max, and most likely to a 14 Pro Max. So Im sure it will be a nice upgrade.

Pre ordered a 14 pro max 1tb in space black. Should have it next Friday.

Need to look into trade in offer for our 11 Pro Max. We'll be getting the Pro Max in 512GB, she wants the purple, I'll go for black.

 

[RedBeard]

I wonder if I should step up to the 512gb model before I place my order. Have a 256 that’s at 211gb used right now.

Holy shit, how do you use that much? Ive always had the 64gb and have never came close to being over that and I think I have over 2000 pics.

Looking at that now I have 80gb of Spotify downloads. I could probably get that wayyyy down.

I jumped up from 512GB to 1TB because I anticipate that the file size of pics and vids would be much greater than what they are currently on my iPhoneX. I could have probably gotten away with the 512 but I'd be pruning back my pics more often.

Yeah I imagine the RAW images will take more space. But looks like my issue was old podcasts on Spotify I’ve forgotten to delete and then I have 40gb of downloaded YouTube videos for when I’m traveling.

On with xfinity mobile, I was having issues pre-ordering online so having them do it. It would do my upgrade fine, I hit continue shopping to do the wifes and I'd get an error message and then only my phone showed up in the cart.

My work blocks their ordering site (but not the main xfinity mobile site). Been on hold/with the agent for 25 mins now, but at least they're almost done.

 

[RedBeard]

Yeah, so I’ve been downloading JRE podcasts WITH the video. No wonder that was so much. I’m down to 139 of 256 now. So stuck with the same size and did my preorder.

 

[blue-sun]

we take lots of pics, so better camera = larger file sizes. It's just better to have a bigger HDD for us. We have the iCloud storage for pics, so they get uploaded but I'd rather have more HDD space.

xfinity agent was having issues, said she'll call me back in 10-15 mins to complete the pre-order.

Not to be pedantic, but the phones use solid state memory, not spinning hard drives ?

LOL, sorry SSD, not HDD.

 

[blue-sun]

agent called me back, xfinity is having all sorts of issues with this presale. I guess I'll try later

 

[blue-sun]

Had to do 2 separate orders for each of us, the default color is purple, so I hope I changed mine, but if not, oh well, it's going into a case anyways, so NBD.

 

[RedBeard]

Couldn’t just order through Apple?

 

[willizm]

I ordered through the apple store phone app and it was easy. I did my preorder yesterday and this morning when I woke up I just hit the order button and got the confirmation.

 

[blue-sun]

xfinity mobile doesn't show up as an available carrier. I know we are the same network as Verizon, but I didn't want to chance it not working, so I opted to order through xfinity to be on the safe side.

Also, I didn't change the default color on my order, so we're both getting purple. I'm on hold to see if they can change it to white or black, but if not, purple is fine.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Man, I wish I had these TCGStacksOfCash that y'all have to order these $1000+ phones.

Pro Max with 1TB, $1599.

$1399, with the trade in on our current phones it'll be $41/month for 24 months.

got someone on the phone, he cancelled the wrong order. So wife's phone didn't get cancelled and my purple one is still a valid order.

Now gotta deal with that later. Gonna see if we can order mine and have the esim's switched on the phones.
