iPhone 15 Rumours & Release Date

Anyone got their Makro online iPhones delivered?

Ordered 27 Sept with 21 day delivery ETA but crickets from their customer service team
 
My girlfriend got this stunning case from iStore, R699. iStore also managed to deliver her 256GB iPhone 15 Pro 2 days after she ordered it online, so stock shortages don’t appear to be a thing this year.

So far my 15 is working well. dropped it today lol but not from a big height. All good.

the battery is doing great - full day usage and on 60% at night. Screen is great, response is great.

As I expected, Apple perfected the previous iphone even more.
 
Yep, when I got my 15 Pro Max on Monday, when I got home I booted it up and one of the first things it did was update straight to iOS 17.0.3 and it has been performing great, it doesn’t get any warmer than my 13 Pro Max got, I even did a few long TikTok, Facebook and IG sessions on Saturday morning and it remained cool.

The point at which it guzzles battery and gets warm is when using the Camera extensively, I used it to shoot a lot of 4K@60FPS videos and take a lot of photos on Thursday and noticed it getting warmer and eating through the battery faster but 13 Pro Max did the same to.
 
My battery usage seems to have stabilised after a day or two and now I'm ending days with 40-50% left with AOD turned on. It seems AOD eats about 10% throughout the day.
 
I've never seen the point of AOD.

Had to use it with my previous phone (Samsung) because they removed the notification light, so had no idea if I had new messages, mails, etc, unless I enabled AOD because my phone was permanently on silent, or checked my phone manually.

Moved over to iPhone when the 13 came out, which also didn’t have notification lights, but no AOD, so I just lived with it - until I got an Apple Watch, and got my notifications there (phone is still on silent).
 
Have to say I am truly appreciating the 15PM’s lighter weight and smaller footprint more everyday along with the much smaller bezels, it looks and feels so much more compact, but you can see the screen is large, kind of messes with the mind (in a good way). Never thought the phone would feel so much more different to my 13 Pro Max which now feels like an unwieldy thing with or without a case.

It’s actually incredibly tempting to use the 15 PM without a case, the rounded edges are amazing and the matte frame + matte back glass give a nice bit of grip, but even with a case it just doesn’t have that gigantic heavy feel the 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max have.
 
Thinking about trading in my 13 Pro for the 15PM.
If your 13 PM is in great condition you can probably get a good trade-in for it, you will have to do it in-store.

I ended up giving my 13 PM to my Mom as her iPhone X was now showing its age and she was looking to buy a new iPhone anyway, but I would have traded in had she already got a new one.
 

The iOS 17.1 update that Apple is set to release in the near future addresses an issue that "may cause display image persistence," according to Apple's feature notes for the software.
