Besides health/fitness (Athlytic app), my MVP apps are timers/alarms because I'm a busy OLD man.

Finally upgrading to the 17 pro from a 12 pro… if I can make a phone last me 5 years I’m doing alright. Quite a jump I must say

[worn2fade]

That’s a jump indeed @Jord

I’m going from a 14 pro to the 17 pro. Still a pretty significant jump imo in terms of features. I’m stoked for mine, I went silver though. Orange is a little too bold for me haha

[anodyne]

Ultra 3 (from 1st gen Ultra) tomorrow and my 17 Pro Max Blue (from 14 Pro) whenever AT&T can deliver it.

@Jord Have fun with your new toy! I usually try to go with 7 year cycles. So the iPhone 20 is probably my next phone.

Yeah that's the way to do it, like to get my moneys worth but I love the joy of preordering and waiting for announcements etc, reminds me of Iron Heart a little with announcements on the forum and waiting to try buy something so I undestand why people trade their newest in to upgrade- just not worth it for me either. Although I did hear there's a rumour of a iPhone "flip" of some kind next year... Not sure what to make of that lol.

Thanks man

Just downloaded iOS 26 on my phone, iPad and I watch. Looking good so far.

[iamjustdanny]

Updated my phone (12 pro max) and my watch (series 7). Definitely enjoying my phone but the transitions and animations makes it show its age slightly.

Probably waiting until next weekend or until a .1 update to update my laptop.

@Denman-John took me a minute but I’m liking the new aesthetic on my 14 pro

[Denman John]

@SKT There is more of a difference on my iPad compared to my phone. This update makes the iPad more like a computer and I like having the ability to have multiple windows open at the same time. Still playing around with it, but it’s working as it should so far.

[SKT]

@Denman-John that’s good to hear. With my wife and kids we have 4 iPhones and 3 iPads…and I’m the only one who’s updated! I’ll update my wife’s iPad to see how it looks

[Denman John]

@SKT I’d like to think I’m on the cutting edge of technology, but in reality we’re the Guinea pigs of the family

[SKT]

@Denman-John absolutely…ha!

[Matt]

I’d love to get the orange one but I have a 16 so I won’t be in the market for a new phone for quite a while. Or at least until this one mysteriously falls off my roof like my old one did.

[SKT]

@Matt I’m a long way off but my wife needs a new one so thinking about the 17 for her…we kind of rotate upgrading

[goosehd]

@Matt I’m pretty sure that is how Newton came up with his theory…

[chrisjohnnick]

I'm still rocking a 14pro phone. My wife is on a 13pro. She'll likely upgrade before I do. I'm kind of hoping they come out with a mini version like before. I miss being able to fit my phone in my chest pocket with the flap closed on a shirt.

I've updated the iOS on the phone, I'm liking the new smart cross-fade in Music way more than I was expecting. The update on the MacBook can wait though, iOS 26 no longer supports Time Machine backups so I'm going to need to source a new option other than the Cloud to do this. - I'm less happy about this!

From what I understand, Time Capsule will no longer be supported, not Time Machine.
