Uhuh, that was the first thing I did after getting the phone, haha.. The battery pack is much heavier than the phone, so ironic…

Hahaha, yeah, I needed a temporary phone and this was the cheapest option out there - didn’t wanna spend too much coz all iPhones with lightning ports are about to become dinosaurs after next month

I'm still keeping the 12PM for any new transitions to new iPhone(s) in the future.

Expecting invites to go out AT LEAST starting tonight. Fingers crossed.

Limit to 2 per Apple ID.

TnC mentions that one must provide ID during collection but my last year experience just provide the collection email will be Becos there was an QR on it which the staff just scan and pass u the phone.

So early meh? I tot can be as late as one week before the actual date.

As I said, AT LEAST. IINM, past few September events are 2 weeks before the actual date.

Found the post I came across few weeks/days ago.

6k for the top spec /range ?

hope apple stays sensible 🙈

you are right

Here we go! Apple Event link

Here we go again, bro! Haha

Can’t wait for this 😎

I bought 12PM, but gave to my mother & I’m currently using 13PM. You should change.

13/9 1am, not going to camp midnight

We never learn, do we?

I am way too old to camp at 1am… Sleep more important… Hahaha

Besides, nothing about Apple event surprises us anymore since Steve Jobs’ passing… Same old, same old…

Need to work

The biggest surprise will be type c, but going to skip this year and wait for next iPhone series

Yes, I should change. Looking forward to it and will definitely get one this time. If the rumored colors are true, I’m torn between Titanium and Space Gray. I’m trying not to buy back any exclusive color because I may not change it every year. Like now, I’m still stuck with 12PM blue.

Among the many changes being tipped for the iPhone 15 Pro models, the switch to a titanium frame is one of the most promising. Not only is titanium expected to make Apple's upcoming phones more durable, it should also weigh less than the stainless steel Apple uses in its current Pro models.

But just how much less? We likely won't know the official answer until the Apple September event, currently rumored to be taking place two weeks from now. Still, that's not stopping some leakers from giving their best guesses as to what the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max could weigh as a result of their new materials.

In a 9to5Mac report, Zac Hall makes what he calls "predictions based on my back of the envelope math" to calculate the possible weight difference between the iPhone 15 Pro models and their iPhone 14 counterparts. Hall estimates that the iPhone 15 Pro will weigh 6.74 ounces (or 191 grams) while the iPhone 15 Pro Max will tip the scales at 7.8 ounces (221 grams).

A subsequent tweet from leaker @Tech_Reve backs up those weights, as the leaker claims the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will weigh 191 grams and 221 grams, respectively.

Assuming all that's accurate, that would mean the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be 0.67 ounces lighter than the 8.47-ounce iPhone 14 Pro Max. That would still make the new Pro Max the weightiest iPhone — the similarly sized iPhone 14 Plus weighs 7.16 ounces with its aluminum frame — but more than half-an-ounce lighter than its predecessor will certainly be noticeable when people pick up the new phone.

As for the iPhone 15 Pro, it would weigh 0.53 ounces less than the iPhone 14 Pro (7.27 ounces) using Hall's calculations.

Titanium frames would be just one way Apple intends to set apart the new Pro models from the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup. The iPhone 15 Pro phones are likely to feature the A17 Bionic chipset, and they could also benefit from faster charging speeds should Apple drop the iPhone's Lightning port in favor of USB-C. In addition, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is likely to get a periscope-styl zoom lens that would further elevate Apple's premium phone over the rest of the iPhone 15 lineup.

These changes may not come cheaply. Both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max could see a price hike of $100 or more over current Pro models.

We should find out just what Apple has planned for its new Pro models — including how much they weigh — when Apple unveils its latest handsets at some point in September.

The base Pro Max RRP is already at 5799, increasing it by USD100 means it’ll start at 6299 which is a bit much for everyone. Hopefully Apple makes a sensible decision here!
