Ha ha amazingly I originally went towards the titanium but I opted for the blue. Delivery on the 22nd.for mine. However I ordered the iPhone titanium color for my wife. I should have stuck to my first choice and bought two the same color. Now I have to go to the apple store on the 22nd. to pick my wife's up along with her new apple watch 9 and then wait for my delivery. 

I also have been with youtube TV since the earlier low price. ($35 just like that ATT Streaming service at $35 for life, ha ha yeah for life) when I read the latest email about the price increase I cancelled the service. I can use OTA for the local news stations etc. and other tv stations that interest us.

We also have Amazon Prime and Paramount+ as well as HULU and my wife likes Peacock and HBO Max but to have all those services combined is still cheaper that YouTube TV at their inflated price.

Hopefully YouTube TV loses more customers than who may join due to the MLB and other sports offerings. and as others have said an ala carte offering may be the way to go.
IE: no sports pay a reduced cost. 

Oh well we will see....

The problem applies only to those of us purchasing via the upgrade program.  I purchased a case with my card no problem. (After the iPhone purchase).  Support was of no help.  Where’s my 3% apple?

Yes I have gathered that the issue only affects those paying on the upgrade program. 

While shelling out full price and another $50+ dollars for the case can dent ones finances but I like to save up for these high end iPhones then purchase on Apple Card and then I pay it off almost immediately (when it clears) this way I get the 3% on the devices and the cases.

I was however thinking not getting this iPhone this year but my mother-in-law was thinking of getting a new iPhone from her 7, so I said you can have one of my wife's iPhone 12 Pro or my iphone 12 Pro saving her that higher price.

The issue here as I read last evening was "If a person purchased a new iphone when they never bought one before" would not have the charger, but just a USB-C cable and not a charger from iPhone 12 which is also different than all the other chargers previous to it. I note that in the iPad Pro the charging cable is different than iPads previous.
So yes a consumer may have chargers and cables just lying around but the iPhone 13 as the previous iPhone 12 does not use the standard cable nor charger brick.

So yes include it in the newer products instead of having to buy the $19 charging brick or as many sites have suggested to lower the price on the devices so as to have a customer opt for it to be included or not.

And then there must be an adapter purchased in or to connect to CarPlay since it does not connect via a USB-C cable but a standard USB connection. Cars may include the capability in the future but many cars do not have that connectivity not operate as a wireless CarPlay device.

Yep Just received them a little while ago. With tax it was a few dollars shy of $600 but if my wife wants them she gets them. Being a household of various apple products I am sure they will make her happy.
