If you consider to stay at lightning port like me since all my devices are still lightning (eg AirPods Pro 2, tv remote, charger n whole list etc) and want a huge discount can consider this.

Since 15 pro likely will have price hike too in USD, rumoured about 100 usd increase?

Ouch, Zollotech also mentioning this in youtube days ago:

Its a reminder for you to change to the upcoming Iphone 15.

Would like to seek some expert opinion on this listing for a Magsafe Charger on Lazada sold by "TMT Thunder Store MY". It seems like a really great price at first, plus it is from a Lazmall Flagship Store.

The problem is the seller seems extremely new, and it's strange that there is another much larger "TMT Thunder Official Store" which is much larger and has far more established feedback. To be honest, after seeing the Lazmall flagship tag for the listing I almost did not hesitate to purchase, but am having some doubts after researching.

They are selling it for RM135 and it'll be even lower with Lazada Bonus now, not sure if I should pull the trigger.

Looks dodgy to be honest. Even the MagSafe battery pack was sold at RM160 looks dodgy with a small listing description saying brand : Niceman

What’s even weirder is the reviews, they are all posted either 1 day ago or 6 days ago with really dodgy review.

Will advise to avoid buying

battery health down to 89% 😆🥲

Mine is 95%. About 10 months in. I don’t care anymore after reaching 96% 😂.

now check 93% 10 months old also

What model you using and how long is the device?

Don’t be silly wit the battery health

It will deplete so don’t bother keeping track

What should consider is the longevity of your battery life

If still whole day then who cares

Hi, I'm in a dilemma now whether I should buy Iphone 14 pro max or wait for Iphone 15 pro max, based on all the leaks, Iphone 15 pro max does not seem like a big upgrade from 14.
My main concern is the price, now you can get Iphone 14 pro max with RM800 discount from switch website, and seems like Apple will increase the price for 15, if that's the case, the price difference between 14 pro max and 15 pro max might go up to more than RM1k.

Which one should I go for?
BTW, normally when apple announces new generation of Iphones, does the retail price drop even more for the current generation of Iphones (New Units)?

for tech related wise always go for the latest which is 14 promax, but it will be dethrone a month later 🙈

not a big upgrade might as well buy ip14 pro max , later might as well upgrade to ip16 pro max

Just wondering, normally when apple announces new generation of Iphones, does the retail price drop even more for the current generation of Iphones (New Units)?

Wait for iPhone 15 and decide. by that time I am sure you can also find regular promo for iPhone 14 if you do not wish to spend so much.

Just wait for 15, then see the price and the comparison

My prediction is when September come, the 14 Pro price wouldn’t probably drop as much as it is discounted right now because the retailers themselves are absorbing/discounting the phones themselves and not Apple.
This is also based on past releases, they will sell the remaining discounted Pro stock till no more, unlike the regular 14 which might get a 500-600 price cut from its RM4199 RRP back to its current discounted price at around 3.6k and continue to be sold.

So a few questions to ask yourself:

Will you be okay for price increase for 15 Pro? If yes by all means wait for the 15 Pro. Apple pricing vs conversion rate price changes are unpredictable. A 100 USD increase could mean anywhere between a 500-600 MYR increase or more.

Are you ok to be on lightning port? Hype for USB C is real because you can travel with ease with one cable, and it has a higher data transfer rate if you need to transfer stuff to your Mac. But if you use iCloud or wireless MagSafe charging then the port doesn’t matter to you. Or like me I have a lot devices at lightning including AirPods Pro 2, so I still need both cables anyway, even though some of my devices like my iPAd Pro already use USB C. And also there are a lot more types/confusing USB C cables out there compared to just a single MFI certified lightning port. I would also think lightning port on the phone is easier to clean compared to USB C with a hovering stick in the middle.

Are there still a lot of stock and availability for the specific colour you want? Seems like silver is a popular colour followed by space black.

iPhone 15 rumour so far:

Pros: newer A17 being more efficient, battery capacity may increase if it takes up the sim slot, curve screen, titanium sides

Some drawback on the 15 rumours: curve screen will make it harder to apply screen protector, titanium being more expensive but easier to scuff/scratch, and possibility to loss physical SIM card (the 14 already loss physical SIM in the US)

Anyway the decision is up to you so anything I say here may turn out to be true/untrue only till the next iPhone and pricing is unveiled.
