Hahaha… was waiting for you to open this thread bro

Looks like nothing great in iOS 16 for iPhone - now we wait till September for new iPhones instead…

On another note, Apple is killing support for both iPhone 6S and 7 this year - didn’t see that one coming, thought the 7 would get another year

Ya, finally - a 2015 phone will stop getting updates. My mum is still using hers, it’s running fine on iOS 15.5. Fun fact: the Samsung flagships in that year was the Galaxy S6 and Note 5.

I think the norm is usually 5 years but the 6S is an exception, haha… Legendary stuffs!

Seriously? At last!! Was doing this on iPad Pro for the longest time and now finally it’s on the iPhone!

They’ve not confirmed which models will get it though… got a sneaky feeling it’ll be the series 12 onwards only…

Yeah, same as the unlock with a mask thing

I buy iPhones every year bro, haha… whether got USB C or not is immaterial - In fact, since the XS series I’ve been buying 2 iPhones a year, haha… XS Max and XR, 11 Pro Max and 11, 12 Pro Max and 12, 13 Pro Max and 13…. (One for the Mrs, and one for me, hahaha).

I suspect this year we’ll see a bump in all iPhone prices due to our currency weakening - so we’ll see…

It’s coming bro… but in 2024…

How’s the 13 Pro Max treating you? Hahaha… Yeah, I know an iPhone is an iPhone is an iPhone, but having used the 13 Pro Max for two months before passing it to my wife my two main observations are crazy good battery life and it’s goddem heavy!

If the new MacBook prices are any indication, I suspect we’ll see a RM100 bump in price across board. If it’s much higher then yeah, I might just get one phone instead of two like previous years.

Hahaha, I don’t need any persuasion, but I do hope they come up with some design change this year… maybe they will finally ditch the notch as rumoured…

Yeah agreed, the big changes will come next year I guess in preparation for the EU directive to move to USB C. Anyways, as long as they maintain the battery capacity (or increase it) then I’m good

So what’s next for you bro, Carl Pei’s Nothing phone?

I’m still unlocking it with my Apple Watch so I’ve not enabled Face ID with a mask. My wife has done so on her 13 Pro Max and she said it’s mostly misses rather than hits.

Yeah, I heard lots of complaints too. I mostly just stick to unlocking with my Apple Watch, only annoyance is when using the banking apps that use Face ID then I’ll need to remove my mask briefly to access those…

Wah, got inside information… hahahah…

I think when it comes to iPhones, Apple does very little to no persuasion - those who want or need one will get one regardless of what they do or don’t do
