    What color did you get the iphone xs max or iphone xs in?

    I got the space grey cause I love how the grey glass almost has a pewter look. Looks great. I also have a white/silver X as my ‘small phone’, so I just wanted something different for the Max.

    How many have you jumped from the X to the XS Max?

    I kept my X and got the Max. One week I prefer a smaller phone I pop the sim into the X. Following week I’m more into media consumption I pop the sim into the Max. Best of both worlds.

    Ouch.. that stinks. Hope it gets back to your town today. I've been following my driver via the 'Follow My Delivery' map. His route makes no sense - he's dancing around my house (within a 1/2 mile radius) in no discernible pattern.

    If you still have your cancel option there, then the phone hasn’t shipped. Personally, I’d go ahead and cancel and just get it locally.

    I'm glad to see many of us are getting our phones before our original estimates (9/28-10/5), but this will be the last time I pre-order. I ordered on 9/14 like everyone else (but later in the morning). It's clear that Apple put no emphasis on those that made the effort, as many of us couldn't...

    I’m in NC. But if your tracking shows it in KY, I bet you’ll get it tomorrow as that is the typical hub before it goes to the final destination airport for delivery.

    Out of curiosity is yours a sim-less model?

    Was the same for me, but updated an hour ago to arriving in KY. And I got an email from UPS notifying me of the delivery before 3pm tomorrow.

    XS Max battery blows away the top Android phones

    Unfortunately, no. If you watch any older battery tests like these, iPhones always lost, especially the lower resolution ones like the 8+ or 7+. In this video the YouTuber made it a point to make the resolutions on the Note and OnePlus relatively equal to the iPhones.

    XS Max battery blows away the top Android phones

    https://youtu.be/c06HoSJdDjo Great comparison/battery drain test against the Note 9, OnePlus6, iPhone X, and iPhone XS. We’ve always known real world iPhone usage is better than any android phone due to the efficient idle drain, but muscle tests like these have never been kind to iphones when...

    Phone now in Anchorage. Looks like Monday is closer to a reality. I ordered a 256gb Sim-less Space Grey Max. Out of curiosity I checked Best Buy online this evening to see what Max’s were available for pickup right now locally. Only saw a few 64gb versions and a few 512 golds available. Good...

    iPhone XS Max Battery Only 3174 mAh?!

    I'm sure the XS Max battery will be just fine... (when mine finally gets here). But I understand the thought. How many iPhone users would sacrifice some weight and a slightly thicker phone if Apple ever decided to put like a 3800-4000mah battery in - coupled with the super-efficiency the...

    What cases do you plan to get for your iPhone XS Max?

    Re: Best cases for iPhone XS Max My Forest Green Leather came in this morning. It's exactly the shade of green I wanted - very dark. I've got the Space Grey Max coming in, so with this case I'll be Green Lantern styling...

    Mine as well. Looks like we're in the same bulk.

    Did you get the official email from Apple saying it's been shipped? My tracking details under 'Scheduled Delivery' heading shows: Of course, it hasn't actually been picked up yet as it doesn't even show in Zhenzou China (as others posted earlier this week). But I have high hopes that now...
