M1 just for the battery life alone. When I was in school I would’ve killed for a laptop with m1/2/3 battery life. Outlet hunting constantly is a pain. And the m1 benches considerably higher vs the i7 4980. You’ll find it more then worth for that extra 4~500.

My friend and I bought our LEs at the same time and he got his already. But he lives on west coast and I live on East. But I don’t mind waiting. Waited for 10 months for the launch edition, a couple more weeks wouldn’t kill me.

I’m reading through and I don’t see anyone (so far) mention that the phone is slightly skinnier due to the reduced bezel sizes. Which for me is a huge boon especially with the slight reduction in weight.

I upgraded from a s21 ultra and 2 reasons held me back from a iPhone for the longest time. The width and USB c. I tried the 12 a while back and just found it too heavy and wide for one handed use with avg male hands and carpel tunnel.

Which those 2 things ticked off on my list I finally made the jump and have been very happy.

I do wish apple eventually changes their stance a little bit on sideloaded apps because for power users like me having opensourced apps is a huge plus.

Canadian shipping is backlogged, not surprising since it’s shopping season, so might take a minute for me to get my LE. Guess I’m stuck with my launch edition SD. /s
