I am always a fan of leather case, sadly Apple only offer Fine Woven this time. Still searching for the right one πŸ‘

Hey guys, I’m using a iPhone 13 Pro now. Been thinking to upgrade to 15 pro but am still holding off. If I ever purchase a 15 pro, i would trade in my phone directly.

Am thinking out loud, but what do you all think in the FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE, the best time to change a phone? Is it hold it for as long as it can function or trade in every 2-3 years. From what I can see, trading it off 2-3 years loses more money than holding it for as long as it functions - give or take 4 years.

What do you think?
*
I am no finance Pro but here is my calculation.


Assuming you get your 128GB iPhone 13 Pro (old) from the first day it launched at RM4899:

Total Cost of Ownership = Initial Cost of Old Phone

Total Cost of Ownership = RM4899



If you trade in today and upgrade to 15 Pro (new),

Total Cost of Ownership = Initial Cost of Old Phone - Trade-in Value + New Phone Cost

Total Cost of Ownership = RM4899 - RM1785* + RM5499**

Total Cost of Ownership = RM8613



Holding your 13 Pro has a lower total cost of ownership than changing to 15 Pro.
The above is just purely based on my limited knowledge. I hope there are more professional answers that can explain better.

you should include the future cost of ownership for new phone
*
Future cost of ownership is very subjective and involve various factors that contribute to expenses over time. They can be the maintenance of the phone (battery, display), risk of accidents (drops, water damage), purchase of accessories (screen protector, phone cases brows.gif), the future trade-in value, etc.

the most straightforward way is just to estimate the future phone price only  cool2.gif

otherwise it will not be a fair comparison with the other scenario

but you cant estimate the value of happiness  brows.gif  brows.gif

anyway I remember miyako back then hentam iPhone 15 Pro model during launch because of the heat issue etc  laugh.gif
*
You are not wrong. When you have spare money to buy happiness, why not? rclxm9.gif

Everyone is talking about overheating issue and it did uncomfortably heat up when initial startup but after that I never experience anymore on my 15 Pro Max.

i also changed from 13 Pro to 15 Pro (motivated by Tokyo Trip)

managed to sell off my 13 Pro at RM3K .. so I just top up "a little" for 15 Pro

I sold my 13 Pro at RM3K too. With that and my company benefit, it completely covered for my 15 Pro Max whistling.gif

Some more have surplus to get a car player with Carplay for my car rclxms.gif

this was my case before I got my Caudabe Sheath

because this is aramid fibre, you will have stain/fingerprints on the back (depending on user) and need to wipe every now and then

I like it since it's light and look classy
*
Thanks for the review! I am kinda sweaty palm guess aramid fibre is not really friendly to me.

How about Caudabe you are using? Does it feel like silicone or leather?

Caudabe material I also can’t describe, the good thing on Caudabe case is 100% finger print free.

I highly recommended Caudabe Sheath

  • Simplicity design
  • Super slim
  • Ultra light
  • Awesome grabbing
  • Strong protection

Sales suck. And also I believe their margin increases a lot compared to iPhone 14 that's why they can throw price. Just compare the retail price of iPhone 14 vs iPhone 15. Same in USD, increased in MYR.

Honestly, how many are willing to spend RM6-8k for a phone. Not many.
*
After discount is actually still expensive biggrin.gif

But it's great Shopee/Lazada can have discounts on new iPhones, benefit everyone that wants to own one.

Entitled for iPhone 15 starting from now? So it’s like 1+2 years warranty right?
*
I think it’s 1+1. Basically AppleCare+ adds another year on top of the original one year limited warranty.

Phone heat up is a normal subject to how you daily drive your device. Do you game with your phone?
