It was a nightmare for me.

I placed the order for Pro Max 512GB, at around 08:05 to 08:07 Eastern time, and received the delivery timeframe between 04 to 12th October. But since I was trying to buy though instalment with Paybright, it didn't work for me until later in afternoon, I placed several orders, including one without instalments. Luckily this morning I received an email from them due to some issues it didn't work well for my order and allowed me to try again with the same delivery date timeframe.

How come I received the delivery date of 4th Oct though I placed it as soon as they opened up the site, and some are receiving on 16th Sep. I am in no rush but that type of buying experience is kind of disappointing. 

I have been using their previous generation (T3) dock and so far so good. Only issue is the lack of 10G ethernet port, and this one is no exception, so I might not upgrade. It is kind of disappointing. Will it output 24/192 at least or still stuck at 24/96. Good to see two USB-c at the front with one 20W. Anyways, audio port is not really a deal breaker as I use external DAC and amp but lack of 10 G ethernet port, in 2022, is really a deal breaker, for me.

Regardless, this is the best dock one could currently get. Highly recommended.

I am still on my Series 3 Hermes 42mm, and will probably upgrade next time to Series 9 Hermes. I love their exclusive dials. Also, I heavily invested on their bands. They are extremely great quality no doubt about it. Don't like double-tour bands though    

What's wrong with 13? Anyways, this thinking is just stupidity at its best, imo. All numbers are good! But if its just people don't want the next iPhone then that's totally ok. I don't want the next one either whether its 13, 14 or whatever they come up with.

I did not experience any noticeable change on battery drain on my iPhone X. But I stopped worrying about iPhone battery drain issue long time ago, so I just jump on the update-ship the day they release any  and cross my fingers. 

I typically upgrade my phone after every 4-5 models. I upgraded from iPhone 4 to X when it was released. So will update it when it dies Battery capacity is still at 88%.

It all started out with battery drain issue on my Apple Watch 3 Hermes 42mm. Invested close to $3,000 on Hermes bands. But sometime at the end of 2020, Apple released an update and I updated it as usual right away but that time was shocking one and it was a total heartbreaking experience.  Before that update, my watch used to last two full days after doing 3 hour intense workout on each day, means 6 hours total in cardio and other workouts. It started all of sudden the moment I updated my Apple Watch it started draining the battery within 1.25 days. And from that day to today, it still lasts closer to 1.25 day. So I wasn't able to do my 2nd day workout before I put it on a charger. I tried everything I can but I never turned off any notification or background refreshes, or anything when it was lasting two full days. So that was not an excuse. 

Granted battery ages but this was happened all of sudden not gradually. And its been like 6-8 months my A3 battery still lasts 1.25 days, maybe a couple of hours less. So I lost hope and learned to stop worrying about what the big kahunas at Apple do and don't, and worry about other things in life that matter to me most.
