Yeah, its a free upgrade promo, though paid $100 for the step-up from Pro to Pro Maxx.

The 12 is fine. Just wanted to get in on a free upgrade while available, but sounds like I could do a 12 - 15 upgrade next year for the same. Though my crystal ball is a cheap model.

Take this with a grain of salt, since it’s very early on, but the word on the street is that the non-Pro iPhone 15 models will have the Dynamic Island.

Oh, I'm sure they will. It has some cool features too it, but its definitely more intrusive than a notch along the edge. To me anyway,.

Yep, different people are bothered by different things. Some can’t stand the sight of the notch, but to me it blends right into the background. Well, except for when I’m watching full-screen video, but even then it fades away after a bit.

I just wanted to let you know what the rumor was in case it factored into your buying decision.

Dynamic island is better than the notch. Its functional and has a use on top of hiding on the camera and sensors.


Being able to hide shortcut popups is enough to sell me on it. With live sports activities being pushed out soon it will be even more useful to me personally.
 
Mom wanted a Series 8 and said we're going to the Apple Store. They only had the 256GB model iphone14pro in gold or purple in stock so I picked up a purple one since it's the new color :p. Unfortunately my carrier doesn't support esim so will be switching carriers, bleh. Thanks to logical I got the dynamic island to follow my teams. Already turned off always on but can't turn off 5G until I get my number ported over.

Also got mom the belkin 3in1 charger, bleh expensive but our first magsafe charger. She's got a pretty thick case but it works, just more finicky than bare phone. Was strongly encouraged to spend $20 for the new brick instead of continuing to use the tiny 5W one that came with my iphone7. Fine.
 
Well my cheap carrier was giving me such a run around with porting my number I just told them to cancel the account and told T-Mo to make my temp number permanent. Most companies just sent an email warning me my profile got changed but one insisted sending a special code to the old number so I had to call them up and talk to a human. With always on and 5G turned off I can easily make 2 days on a charge, a huge change from my old iphone7's 10-12 hours before I gave it up. Lupine is right, after a few days this thing is way heavier than my iphone7 and my new phone case hasn't even arrived yet! Dynamic Island still won't light scores unless I go into the appletv app during a game.
 
So who bought the iPhone 15 pro / pro max? Any issues that internet will have you believe?
