*** The Official iPhone 17 thread (it has new camera bumps and everything!) ***

I'm picking mine up from the Regents St branch just after lunch...wish me luck! I'm travelling later this afternoon so didn't want to trust a late delivery.
 
The setup process is painful. There is a mandatory update which takes forever and the transfer from my old iphone is taking even longer. Haven’t arrived at the e-sim transfer shenanigans yet.
 
And just as I posted it turned up. I knew I could trust good old Yodel :D :cry:

I think I will set up as new, normally prefer to do that. Be my first time trying the esim transfer though, only recently converted my SIM card to esim.

I always do that too as the email and contact comes from iCloud the rest I like to set up again a clean start and just start adding apps I think of as I go along

Im going to jot down all the important ones so I don't forget, and make sure the important ones are up an running before I reset the old phone.

Will wait outside. Thanks for letting us know, could we have a live tracking :)
 
Wife's one via DPD arrived. Still waiting for my silver one via DHL.

I am really torn on the orange after seeing it in the flesh. I like the metal part a lot but I think the ceramic part looks terrible in certain light. It's obvious that it has to be a different colour because of different materials, but sometimes I think it looks tacky. I think the silver is going to be even worse.

Do you go caseless?

Please show some pics when you get the silver! :)

I watched a couple reviews and it definitely seems to stand out a lot more than they did in the Apple event people went to.

Silver is hands down the worst to show that different backing material, luckily it won't matter if you use a case. I think the light from the window when I took this makes it look a little worse as well though.

Oh wow yeah that's very prominent. Can't even see the Apple logo! Haha

Mine will be going in a case thankfully!
