Half the original cost is my guess.

It didn’t cost him anything, he’ll remind us that it was a prize in a few minutes. Again

 

[Bluecube]

I will be heading to the US in November if I buy a pro max 512Gb I save around £400 on the UK pricing exchange rate. Are there any other differences between US and UK spec ?

Will you? Remember the US prices don’t include sales tax

 

[pingwing]

Will the be released to the world on the 20th then? Can see my green 13 mini turning into a teal 16

Yes, no sim card slot in the US models. And legally you need to pay import tax.

 

[Mysterae_]

Meh, I was hoping for something a bit more with the 16PM, I just don't know what though and waiting for Apple to invent it . So I'll be sticking with my 11PM for that bit longer.

£570 so not far off..

So, half cost, thats 49p right

Normally after one of these I am all hyped to get it the first day and then die down the next day when I come to my senses.

The fact that I am underwhelmed on the same evening means I’ll not be updating my tech this round.

I think the best part for me was doing a hearing test on AirPods Pro 2. Looking forward to seeing how mutton Jeff I am.

Pre order pre order all completed. Because I’m weak and pathetic

Also did one for a 256GB 16P natural Ti

 

[Matty8787]

Pre ordered my pre order, Barclays approved, trade in applied.

First time trading with Apple, assume they will send me all the details around the time they send me the new phone?

They would send you the phone first I think and then the box to return after.

Because if they send you the return first then you can’t do phone to phone migration. Since not everyone uses iCloud, plus it’s also faster.

Naturally less massive steps forward now given how mature the phone is. But the pro camera upgrade looks nice and given my 14 pro max battery health is at 81% the new battery will be welcome. The distinction with the pro phones looks less and less now each year.

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

I’ll stick with my trusty 13PM. Does everything I need.

Yep me to , unless the 15 pro max drops significantly in price but looking at the 14 pro Max prices when the 15 came out I doubt it.

 

[ChrisD.]

Pre-ordered the 16 Pro Max 512GB.
Nothing wrong with my 15 Pro Max 512GB.
I’m an idiot.
But new phone!

there are states with 0 sales tax, and many others with very low tax compared to our VAT

A US phone may not support the same network frequencies in the UK so you may not get 5g etc.

You will need to pay VAT and possibly duty when reentering the UK with the phone as it’s above the threshold.

Another thing to consider are US phones are often locked from the store and will need unlocking.

That's going to be a very underwhelming upgrade

 

[LiE]

I’m on the fence whether to replace my iPhone 15. The main camera is basically the same vs the 16/16 pro.

 

[ShortWarning]

I've pre ordered a 16 pro (256gb - black). I need a new phone as my 13 pro is battered and the battery is dying but it doesn't feel like it's going to be a massive leap. I'm half considering cancelling my pre order and getting a 15 pro instead when a good deal comes up.
