Would love seasoned WOC owners to chime in if possible?

I had the chance to come across 3 WOC’s all within the 1st half of 2022 year, all are in black caviar leather with gold hardware. I noticed each of them look very different from each other - from puffiness of the quilt, to the size of the pebble, to the hand feel, to the level of shininess vs waxiness…

Here are a couple photos showing these significant variations.

the super flat and the super puffy ones are made in Italy and the one that looks and feels most “normal” to me (far right in the 2nd photo) is made in France.

is this a normal occurrence with WOC’s? View attachment 5445732View attachment 5445733

It’s normal for any bag, any brand imo. Skins are all unique, so each “batch” can differ.

Woah! They are all so different. I wonder which one is best in terms of wear and tear.

Makes sense leather texture etc differ due to different skins used but I wonder if the super shiny one is over treated. The thread about whether the 22 or 19 is 'real' leather also got me thinking if we should question the leather on classics too ..

New iPhones - they get larger, creeping up in size slowly with each new release. I'm concerned of fit.

Yes I'm in the market for a new iPhone and thought I might as well get the new 14 Pro - not the max, but still the pro. I'm not near an Apple store to go in an try to see if this new slightly larger phone fits comfortable into a WOC. I hoped anyone here may decide on a new phone and will be able to share pictures of the fit.

No hurry, but curious. Thank you in advance!

I’ll be interested in the new phone as well. I’m assuming the dimensions are probably listed online, should be very quick to check if it’ll fit!

Thank you dear Mavalos! The image helps. I do not live near an Apple store and I'll be ordering a new phone from Apple via their website. Even with the measurements, dimensions, it surely helps to have the visual - grateful, appreciate your help.

Now I'd like to get a new iPhone to upgrade from my 11 that is letting me know it wants to retire or be given to someone in the family that won't use it as much as I do. But after seeing your beautiful red WOC, I want THAT shade of red for a new WOC too. Not complaining, I can enable myself into the store but wow the is a gorgeous red.

THAT is the exact red that I want. Not a yellow-red, or an orange-red, but a true red. Well to me a true red.

I'll have to wait until they bring back this shade. I know they have reds every season, but rarely do I see one I want. And I know it's out there. I don't want to spend that kind of money on a bag or WOC and have it not be exactly what I hoped. I realize the prices keep going up, but I will wait. (I admit I want a new one too.)

Congratulations on your perfect red WOC!
