Picked up a purple Pro Max today, coming from SE 2, the display is stunning. The fluid animations swiping between home screens and scrolling is unreal. It’s as if motion reality has taken over the display. The always on display is nice too and doesn’t waste much battery. Had it on dinner table while dining outside for 45 mins and the battery percentage didn’t change a bit. 

Treated myself with the Apple leather case, wallet, and new AirPods Pro. A very happy purchase  

Congrats Tyler! Sounds like an substantial upgrade. Thanks for sharing. I hope you capture some incredible pictures with the impressive camera setup. Try this: open the camera app at nighttime in the house, leave it on 1x and walk into an almost pitch black room (like a bathroom or closet with with no light on and just a sliver of light leaking in from a distant room) the viewfinder will give you superhero vision with the Night mode. It’s kinda a trippy thing to experience.

I sure hope so! AAPL has been taking a beating, going from $174.55 mid August to now $141.84. Big YIKES  

The ‘powerstation wireless stand with MagSafe’ will make an excellent travel changer. Even if it doesn’t leave the hotel room I can still leave it plugged it in to an outlet and fast charge two devices. 

One important comparison unmentioned is the price difference between the 45mm S7 Titanium and the new 49mm Ultra. The Ultra is more affordable at $799 versus $849 for last years 45mm Titanium. Now that’s actually wild!!

I can't think of a use case for AR vs I can think of uses for VR. I guess we'll see how it all works out.

I think uses cases for AR glasses is an easy one: any information in a heads up display can benefit all sorts of user environments like driving, work, social interactions, etc…but AR for large VR style goggles is harder to surmise. I’m sure AR games on a headset would be fantastic. The floor is lava. Remember how much emphasis Apple put on their AR Kit efforts with iPhone and iPad 3-4 years back when Keynotes demos were live?
