I didn’t get organized to order my iPhone 18 Pro Max until 8:09 am, a full nine minutes after the start of ordering. To get in touch with my feminine/2SLGBTQQIA+ side, I ordered the new light blue color. (“All of us have a homosexual part of 25 per cent, which I also have,” Silvio Berlusconi told the crowd. “The only thing is that I, after a profound examination, have realised that my homosexual part is lesbian.”) Because I don’t want to fight with our AI overlords for SSD, I ordered the stripped 256 GB device. This should be one of the most popular combinations and yet Apple promises that it will be delivered on Friday, i.e., Day 1 of deliveries with no lining up or camping out.
For previous generations of phones, wouldn’t someone who was this late to the party have had to wait beyond Day 1 for delivery? ChatGPT:
iPhone 15 Pro Max (2023): Within the first hour, many Pro Max configurations had slipped to October or November, and some buyers who finally got through around the 10-minute mark were already seeing delayed delivery.

Everyone is waiting to order the Duo 😂
I don’t want a Duo. I NEED a Duo.
