   Apple pushes new pre-order shipping estimates into October

   With demand outpacing the initial allocation, Apple's online store began showing October delivery windows for most iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max configurations ordered after the initial rush, meaning only early pre-order customers will receive their phones on the September 18 launch day.

     J'ai une bonne nouvelle sur les iPhone 18 Pro Max : en Europe, le modem Apple C2 serait bien présent. La fiche technique d'Apple suggère que ce n'est que pour le petit 18 Pro... mais c'est seulement aux États-Unis. À confirmer au lancement !

     lol. Yes I am a millennial and my first phone was a flip phone. The durability of today’s phones (including waterproofness) is in a different league than the older smartphones with replaceable batteries.

     Apple has finally announced the iPhone Duo after years of guesswork, and it immediately replaced the idea of an iPad mini for a whole lot of people. There's a good argument for an iPad 18 Pro and iPad mini instead, for less money. https:// appleinsider.com/inside/iphone…
