my 3 is still fine for me, but it’s annoying updating the software since it’s only 8GB. I don’t have anything installed and it has under 2GB free, so I have to restore it anytime I want to update the software.

I upgraded to a 6 this year mainly because my 3's screen fell off and touch no longer worked

I'm still within my 90 day Costco return policy though.. not sure if i want to return it or not

I'm upgrading mine just for the sake of not having to reset the watch every single time I need to do a watchOS update.

Am I reading things right that this year both the 13Pro and 13ProMax have the same camera performance and the 13ProMax doesn't have slightly better low light performance like last year?

as far as I can tell the only difference is screen size and battery between the pro and pro max.

Good to know. My girlfriend is looking to upgrade her X finally but didn't last year because she wanted the best camera and wasn't sure she wanted the bigger ProMax.

Ordered the new iPad mini and will get the 13 pro max on Friday. I pretty much get the phone for free with trade in and T-Mobile bill credits so why not.

I'm on the iPhone upgrade program, I got the 12 Pro but damn, I don't know if I should get the 13 Pro, doesn't seem like any monumental features to upgrade. But also my payment doesn't change. Kind of annoyed they get rid of the cool color all the time, first the green, then the pacific blue. I don't like this baby blue color. Ugh what to do? #firstworldproblems

iOS 15 is available.

Neat that Apple is letting me still update to 14.8 vs just upgrading directly to 15.

I’ll let @Whiskers be the guinea pig

Particularly if a new OS severely slows down your device.

I got that too. I was hoping they would switch 50GB to free. But I guess all those $1 subs add up. I guess everyone on the 50GB plan is getting that upgrade.

Thanks Tim Apple, updating to 14.8 ruined my battery life. Used to last me all day and now it’s 2PM and I’m already at 18%

This is why I don’t like iOS updates.

Yea… no. The 2 weeks leading up to updating I was on vacation so my battery usage was low. Using it barely down to 60%.

and since my last post I’m down to 10% now. All I’ve been doing is surfing Azine.

also just noticed the back of my phone is warm.

Let us know if battery usage improves over the next couple of days.

We've got phones on manual update and are not updating for another week or so, hopefully after any further additional critical update/bug-proofing.

Just got my 13 Pro, I am loving this form factor! I had the 11 Pro Max prior. Got the Blue, it looks more silver than it does blue, which I am ok with.

Can't wait to get outside and test out the camera after work

I wasn’t going to upgrade right away. But I figured since this is an “s” year there would be more than enough stock if I changed my mind. And yup, I changed my mind and ordered for pick up tomorrow morning since I’m at work today.
