My Pro Max arrived 20 mins ago and is being set up as I type. It arrived with UPS. The Pro I ordered at the same time wasn’t part of the delivery and I suspect that will be with DPD. No updates on the Apple Store app regarding delivery status or tracking info

Mines at home waiting for me.

12:36 - 13:36, I wont be home until 5 at the earliest though so it'll wait until tomorrow or later tonight..
Second phone turned up ten minutes ago with DHL. Never got any notifications by email or text that either phone was on its way so just as well I was home!
Got a screen protector in mine already but was wondering if they’re necessary these days?

Depends, I only really use them to preserve that oleophobic coating on the display for when I sell on.
I think they're worth it, because I put one on on day one, and I never even notice it's on there until the day I sell it, when I remove the screen protector and case, and the phone is immaculate ready for the next person, maintaining its value as much as possible. All my phones are always sold immaculate because of this. Wish I could say the same about my apple watches, but they take an absolute battering
I noticed delivery is 11th October earliest, but if you walk in to Apple Bristol, you can have one today...

Did anyone else go for black titanium? All the talk I've seen seems to be of people going for natural or desert.
I ordered black and it's just arrived but caught on a call at the moment. I've avoided the black iPhones for a good few years until now.

100% on a screen protector.
I bought into the hype from the naked crowd of “these new screens are really robust, you don’t need a screen protector” when I went from a XS to 15PM last year — scratched the screen within a week of getting it.
I’m not talking about micro scratches either, but deep enough to catch a nail on and very visible.
I take care of my stuff, no keys in the same pocket etc. Still need a protector.
The people who say you don’t need one either have a different tolerance to scratches to me, or they’re blind and can’t see them.

Anyone tried a case with/without the CameraControl cutout? Not sure whether to go for Latercase again or what for more manufacturers to do a button like the official Apple cases.
I've never had a screen protector or any scratches that you can feel, fwiw.

Just gave the camera a whirl, defaulted to on screen controls so not sure if it’s muscle memory, the cutout or what.
There is an update on mine too if anybody hasn't checked!

Well Mr Who’s the Boss has switched from S24 Ultra to iPhone 16 pro max
I am debating either going back to S24 Ultra or the 16 pro max
The camera on this iPhone 15 pro max is giving me very mixed results and I’m hoping the 16pm indeed is better
Perhaps the 16pm will be even better by November due to
Updates as that’s when I’ll be upgrading

I must be doing something wrong then because it’s 50/50 about the camera vs the s24u but the review seem to say iPhone is better camera
