I preordered this phone on 9/12, the day preorders started, and I get an ETA of 10/25 while new customers have been receiving them on release day. Ended up canceling it because they clearly don’t value loyalty, just new lines. ATT, get fcked. Like hard. Hopefully by a black-owned business.
This iPhone is froze up a lot like not even close to the old models. I had iPhone all the time never have a problem, but this one’s not good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s pretty good. I did upgrade from a 13 so it was a big jump for me. The camera is the major upgrade, that and battery life. The screen is great and it’s faster than my old phone. Maybe my only complaint is how slick it is. Unless you want to drop it every time you handle it you have to put a case on it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
