6.5 hours of SOT on the 17 Pro Max today. Still sitting at 37%. Some days the battery life doesn't impress. But this isn't bad at all.

@TechnicallyTee Agreed.

Gave my mom my Pixel 9 Pro XL and got her a Pixel Watch to go with it. She's coming from an S21. I think she's really going to enjoy it.

iPhone 17 Internals Wallpaper Update
- The bottom section of the Pro Max is nearly complete. Next up are the side rails, cameras, & logic board.
- Once the Pro Max is wrapped up, I’ll adapt and refine those components to fit into the iPhone 17 Pro.
- After that: iPhone Air. 🪶

@BenGeskin @PitakaGallery I'm trying to give it a couple days. The cases are noticeably more slippery this year. The one on my 16 Pro Max was glued to the hand day one. I've done the black and milky way on the 17 and do not have a confident grip. I keep reading they need break in time. Guess we'll see.

[Doug @technerd_doug]

Giving this Pitaka one more try for a few days to see if the texture changes to something more grippy. Last year's models on the 16 Pro Max were glued to the hand. The new ones are quite slippery out of the box. TBD.

@privatetalky Not that I'd ever buy an Apple clear case, but this is exactly what I thought the first time I saw them.

iOS 26, but every time you drop your phone the Liquid Glass cracks and Apple charges you to fix it

[Doug @technerd_doug]

@dalevon_digital I just took the green one off the orange regular size Pro this morning for a Caudabe. But I love this too. I think the dark horse pick for color might be the purple case with the orange. Either way, you'll be happy I'm 99% sure.

[Doug @technerd_doug]

@dalevon_digital And the grip is fantastic. That's my first criteria for any phone case.

[Doug @technerd_doug]

@dalevon_digital Worth every penny. This is the first and only Apple case I've ever liked.

[Doug @technerd_doug]

@Caudabe Synthesis with ember buttons coming in hot! 🔥

[Doug @technerd_doug]

@trentonstech I've got these two going. But I'll be honest, I kind of want them all including the purple. I have never once liked an Apple case until these. All that said, good luck finding the cases. I think they sold way more than expected.
