Well this is expected for almost all new iterations of the new iphone. If you are expecting major upgrades or differences, upgrade your Iphone once every 3-4 years.

Back to the 3GS -> 4 -> 4s (siri implement) era can so call innovation. Now BIONIC is big innovation but Apple leaves a lot of space to not make improvements overall (software).

Even iPhone SE also increase price

Might replace my aging Xs while awaiting 15 next year

on 23/9

Planning to get silver this time around. Not sure why it matters especially since its going to be wrapped in a case anyway

if i not mistaken, machine will open for pre-order in their website on 16sep as well..

that was what i observed on iphone 12 season, where machine pre-order same time as apple pre-order.

did not purchase iphone 13, so not sure ip13 season pre-order.

I think it is an innovation, because coming from a semi conductor background in fabrication and working in research for new materials for chips, Apple is really pushing the envelope in chip design, power, performance and heat dissipation. It is truly remarkable but unfortunately, not something a lay person might see and appreciate.

But we also need to Thankful as well, since app store still price tag at RM3.99 = $1 cause recently AppStore got revised some price in other countries.

gonna go with naked this time...
otherwise gonna wrap with clear case for better grip.

Sorry I didn't make it clear. What I mean is hardware and software didn't par alongside. Even Developer have no time to maximize the BIONIC & M series chips.

This is a bad cycle (wasted) if continues going into the long run, just because want to get a nice digit on the revenues report.

Wished I could do that as well, but sadly I have butterfingers and also the last time it was naked whilst I mountain biked, the sorta cracked after a crash

To be fair, current gen of Iphones are already very capable in terms of innovation and tech. So it is very hard to introduce major upgrades or improvements. That is why upgrades and innovation are slow to come by. It will be hard to introduce something better to an already great product.

Same case with androids. I dont see much improvements on tech and innovation either. That is why I would not be upgrading my phones every year. Maybe once is year 2 - 3 years.

To be honest, Siri is a advantages weapons but I can't brain why Apple just stop at the level there.

Haha yes let's tag them to start the poison, are you getting it this round BTW?

Black looks good espeiclaly if you don't like the big lenses.. I might go white this time around, first time breaking the colour of the year cycle..waiting for some YouTube reviews..

pre order starts sep 16, officially launch 23 Sep where you can buy it outright from the retails..

They are still developing it. Rest assured. I dunno but I never used SIRI all this while.

Not sure yet bro. Will get it but most like not for myself because I got the 13 Pro Max last year during launch.

happy wife happy life

Guess apple is running out of phone design. The same design used on iPhone 4 & 5 then iPhone 12 & 13. Looking at the design probably can use back my iPhone 12 case 😆

can anyone here share your experience pre ordering from machines and switch last year? wondering which one should I go for.. iirc machines had some hiccups with the 13 Series pre order, or was it switch?

Urban Republic have been my go to choice for the pre-order iPhone instead.
It is from same parent company as Switch and way less people compared to Switch.

Not sure what the reason that people would line up to Switch whereas I can easily walk in and out within 10 minutes for pre-order and phone pick up at Urban Republic.

Any update yet from Maxis sub with the ipong14?

I hate the black hole but Apple smart move make me hate less
