Just wanted to weigh in on this SenQ/Senheng extended warranty. Long ago, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, I bought myself a HTC Diamond from them (that shows my age). It went dead after 15 months and I brought it back to them to claim the extended warranty and I was told that after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired, their in-house techies will take a look at them. I’m guessing back then their techies are more well-versed in electrical appliances, coz I didn’t get my phone back till more than 2 months later. Since then, I’ve always seen their extended warranty as more gimmicky than anything. Still, it’s a nice to have if you’re a member or just paying RM12 to be a member is worth it.
Actually the MagSafe ring in itself is a branding, haha.. I’ve seen cases for other phones with no MagSafe having that ring these days… so weird! Anyways, I will only get a MagSafe case now coz even though I don’t use wireless charging as much, I love how it mounts in the car securely and MagSafe car mounts are really sleek and less cumbersome than the traditional phone holders!
I suspect he’s just making conversation, hahaha. Likely he will change too as he does every year laugh.gif
That’s an archaic view bro, haha.. the ladies love the bigger phones these days. My wife would not touch anything other than a Pro Max. Besides, I’d argue it’s easier for them to carry it around if they are using a handbag. Men with skinny jeans on the other hand…
This happens every year. Everyone bitch about how Apple is not innovating, how the iupdates are too incremental and yet it still sells out.

If it could really withstand dents and obvious scratches i'll definitely consider going naked this time round.

Funny how the 15 Pro is not any lighter than the 12 Pro. Pro max is damn tempting for the battery life though. Anyway Pro Max is still the ultimate phone for viewing pics and video, gaming, viewing pdf and also texting.

I have fully migrated from one port charging brick already. Multi-ports GAN charger is the way to go. Plus it works well whenever we are traveling too.

So ya, I guess Apple is right after all. brows.gif nod.gif

Based on this, is it safe to say battery life if ip15p is weaker than the vanilla ip15?

Surprising to see the PM version has bigger battery compare to its plus version, but it's fhe other way round for the pro and vanilla one.

girl use PM can put in handbag, or case with lanyard

i always prefer pro only because i need put in front of pant pocket 😁

Looking at this battery capacity, i am in greater dilemma on which to choose.

Originally, my aim is ip15p, as i prefer small phone with good battery. But if the battery is weaker than ip15, then i might consider ip15 itself. Or maybe will straight go for ip15pm for its best battery life (i assume). But i dun like the weight of ip15pm. rclxub.gif

Why do you need to buy an extra cable? It will be given in the box. I’m using third party ugreen version as it’s longer.

Yes, I also find it gimmicky unless it’s Apple Store giving the extended warranty. laugh.gif

The bundle cable is USB-C 2.0 only even for Pro series.

So if you don't have additional cable that is USB-C 3.0, and prefer Apple only, then need to buy.

Aiyar.... People give additional one year warranty also complain. No give also complain. Apa lagi Cina mau? laugh.gif Since its free then take it as it is la. Even Apple themselves don't offer second year warranty for free.

If you want to be the first to get your hands on the IP15, best is to preorder. To answer your question, they do allow walk ins but that would depend on available stock on the day itself. So unless you want to be hunting up and down for it, I suggest you preorder.

For charging purpose, not a big deal. Can just use own usb 3.0 and above cable to do data transfer.

I doubt so. I did not see any one will buy extra apple brand cable Becos they are known to be not lasting. Even they really buy it last time for lightning cable maybe purely for mifi purpose but again third party cable also can be mfi certified.

At least usb-c apple did not put in any form of limitation such as mifi so one can use any cable.

Third party Usb-c cable with 3.0 is cheap and since apple did not provide usb 3.0 c cable in the box. One will just go for third party, no point to buy apple branded one.

In fact, with usb-c port, one can just use iPad or MacBook or even their office laptop charger to charge with the existing cables.
