Had everything set up with service & trade in the day before pre-sale and had the phone pre-selected and in the bag: 15 Pro Max in Natural Titanium, 512gb. Got in first thing Friday morning when they opened late. Smooth and easy, no issues. Showing delivery date of Sept 22.
1) The "Notch": I don't notice it. Until they bring it up. Over and over again, and usually from people that don't own an X.
