I enjoy the big phone, right now I am on a OnePlus 7 Pro, a 6.67 inch phone with an undisturbed display. Been spoiled by it, and can't really see myself shift to a smaller phone.
And if I do get an iPhone 15 Pro Ultra Max Plus, whatever, it will be the first iPhone I ever owned. So looking forward to it. |

QUOTE(BlizzardCraft @ Dec 28 2022, 01:11 AM) I'm using the OP7P too, but having issues with GPS, camera hang, WhatsApp camera issues, and poor battery life... Only 3hr SOT.. I have issues with the GPS as well, WhatsApp works well, never really had a camera hang, and yeah, I will struggle to get to get 3.5 hours SOT but the biggest problem I have is that OnePlus 7 Pro now disconnects from 4G regularly and randomly. Thinking to get the 14pm 🤔 felt like can't wait for the 15pm already Thing is, I promised myself that I will get at least 50 months of use with this phone, and I plan to keep that promise despite the massive headaches this it's giving me now. And even then, the biggest reason for my change in phone (outside of the debilitating disconnection of 4G) is that OnePlus has stopped supporting it, and I don't dare take it into a fifth year with 0 new security updates. If I move to Apple, I can spend on the highest tier, and stick with it for at least 5 years before upgrading. My friends have taken to me updating my phone as a big event . |

Wait, how is even viable to create an 'official' thread for a rumored device that is about 2/3 quarters away from today?
We all know that TS is kiasu to be a thread-starter but come on, this is absurd. A thread just to share every single rumor-mill that you can abstract from the internet? dikae |

Scrounging up every ringgit and sen to save up for this phone. Been on my OP7P+ for close to 4 years and I've had enough of this company as a whole. Also, I feel burned at the inconsistency of security patches of Android. If you have a phone for a year or two, sure it's fine. But after year 3, you will feel all the badness associated with having old hardware. persona93 liked this post

True, my dad's XR which is slightly older than my phone still gets the same software as my sister's iPhone 13 Pro Max (minus a few bits and bobs here and there), and he got the option to download the updates more or less around the same time she does. Me on the other hand, took around 3 months to update to Android 12 after the update for my phone was released. Now I am still waiting for the phone's End of Life update, been waiting for about a month now for that. |

Legandary iPhone 6s even has a wobbing 7 iOS versions which is the record in history.Me on the other hand, took around 3 months to update to Android 12 after the update for my phone was released. Now I am still waiting for the phone's End of Life update, been waiting for about a month now for that. I used my iPhone X for 5 years before I switch to iPhone 14 Pro Max. and I passed my iPhone X to my partner to use as secondary phone for pokemon go. it is still working fine with the latest iOS 16. |

QUOTE(Hitman190 @ Feb 7 2023, 09:17 AM) Really hope that the price is not too extreme high chance the price of iphone 15 will be up i guess. especially pro/ultra.and apple seems to have their plans on how to switch to usb-c and again still remain their profits on accessories. https://www.macrumors.com/2023/02/10/apple-...-15-usb-c-port/ |

Wake me up when the battery life drastically improves. Iphone 14 series' battery life was disappointing and was actually worse than 13 series.

$200 (around RM900) price increase. Don't know how real this will be but here's hoping that it won't be that dramatic but if it did, I guess that the upcoming crop of iPhone Pros might go up by RM1000 maybe? 🤔 |

Just a matter of the type of ports.But iPhone 15 most lilkely is the first and last USB-C port iphones in Asia at least. LOL, next stop they will just make everyone buys magsafe stuffs. |

I think the top variant will have a price bump, that is why they need to rename it to Ultra or else people will start compare 14 Pro Max vs 15 Pro Max price difference. If they call it Ultra then is considered something else cant compare. |

QUOTE(romuluz777 @ May 28 2023, 11:23 PM) When will the 15 Pro ultra be launched ? iPhones get announced historically in September annually. First wave launch/sales is always the countries that has Apple Store/first world countries. We are usually on the 2nd or 3rd, give or take. Expect around mid October only we'll be getting ours.I'm considering this or the 14PM, as my 13PM's battery is acting up lately. 15 Ultra will be launched or not, seems like it wont be this year. So far the rumours are just pointing towards the usual 4 variants but Apple can always do a "One more thing". Just wait for next week's WWDC and iOS17 dev beta. The devs will dig out any information related to the upcoming iphone. romuluz777 liked this post

More leaks will soon be out. The exterior is pretty much confirmed including the no of the iPhones they will launch in September.
Do not expect any major change in design. It will be almost 95% same like 14 pro max. But with thinner bezel and maybe better materials or additional lens for camera. |

currently using 14 pro now and really hope that apple can fix that disaster hdr over sharpen photo through ios17 but i dont really get my hopes up... if not at least fix it in the future lineup... lately i saw more and more android phone cameras are much more superior than iphones
but the 48mp pro raw photo is quite amazing, just the regular photo is really yuck also i hope the 15 pro max periscopes can leap forward than the current telephoto as it is really not that great This post has been edited by HumanExtinction: May 29 2023, 07:11 PM |

IF apple dint do anything stupid such as reduce the battery mAh i think it works hand in hand.a smaller chipset = more power efficiency & draw means they can compromise the battery's capacity to utilize the extra space within the chassis, which means that they can still produce a decent amount of SOT with a smaller battery. but whatever it is, just take rumors as a pinch of salt. |

Apple is reportedly preparing the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lines for launch, as a new report claims their displays are moving into mass production. The company is expected to launch all four new iPhones in September, alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 and potentially a new iPad mini.
 The report comes from the South Korean publication, The Elec, citing sources close to suppliers. According to the publication, Apple has signed off on Product Validation Tests (PVT) – the final stage before products are mass-produced – for the iPhone 15 line. The company is testing these with Samsung Display, one of its three display partners. The other partners include LG and BOE. LG is reportedly on the cusp of preparing mass production, pending some small changes, whereas BOE is having production issues centered around the Dynamic Island. BOE is not expected to meet the launch timeline of the iPhone 15 series. Apple introduced the Dynamic Island with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, last year and now the company is expected to roll it out to all four iPhones 15 entries later this year. Another issue Apple is reportedly experiencing is with the periscope lens rumored to be gracing the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The company is reportedly experiencing a lower yield rate than expected. It's not clear how this may affect the larger iPhone at this time, however. A solid upgrade for iPhone users The next iPhone is predicted to be a decent improvement over the current iPhone 14 line, with upgrades hitting all areas of the phone. Rumors include the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus' main camera getting a new 48-megapixel sensor (but not the exact same one as the iPhone 14 Pro Max), the Dynamic Island (as we mentioned above), along with a new periscope lens for the iPhone 15 Pro Max to give it similar zoom capabilities to the best Android phones. Thinner bezels are also reportedly on the menu, meaning we could get either more screen or a smaller chassis. All of these changes will come at a cost, however, with our iPhone 15 price predictions placing the Pro iPhones at a substantially higher price than their current iterations. Nothing comes for free, and that seems especially true for iPhones. Source: The iPhone 15 hits a major milestone on the road to release |

We’re only a month away now from September, and you know what that means: a new iPhone being launched. The upcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lineup though is set to be one of the biggest revamps of Apple’s smartphones in a long time now, thanks in part to the enforced use of the USB-C port on their devices.
 According to a new report by 9to5Mac, as for when specifically that’ll be, 9to5Mac claims that they’ve seen information pointing towards a 13 September, Wednesday launch event in Cupertino. It seems as though a number of major telcos have already been told to not let employees go on leave on that day due to a major announcement, and while it’s not confirmed to be Apple related just yet, it does make the most sense. The upcoming iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro is of course slated to feature a USB-C port rather than the Apple’s iconically proprietary Lightning port due to new regulations set in place by the European Union. However, we should also be seeing all four models—the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max—all adopt Dynamic Island displays too, with Apple skipping the non-Pro iPhones from getting the new design last year.  On top of that, Apple is also expected to slightly redesign their smartphones this time around. The industrial-looking flat sides that have been around since the iPhone 12 series will now be tweaked to feature minor curved edges instead. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max is also likely getting thinner bezels around the display, and the latter may also have a periscope lens on the back for improved optical zoom. The two Pro smartphones will be powered by the new A17 Bionic mobile platform, while Apple is again giving the non-Pro iPhones last year’s A16 Bionic instead. As for what else we may be seeing, it’s almost certain that Apple will be showing off more about iOS 17. Their latest mobile operating system is already in public beta, and if you want to skip the queue you can click here to read more about how to get iOS 17 on your iPhone today. We might also be seeing the next generation iPad Mini debut during the same event, with the current iPad Mini 6th Gen already hitting two years old at this point.

There are a lot of rumors about all the various upgrades coming to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The one that drew my attention is the claim that Apple will be swapping the stainless steel frame for titanium. More recently it’s been claimed that Samsung may follow that example with the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
 The idea behind using titanium is that it's able to offer comparable strength to stainless steel, but at a much lower weight. Considering how phone companies love to brag about how thin or light their devices are, you can see the appeal. Plus titanium sounds shiny and futuristic, which is sure to appeal to people looking for ways to make their ultra-premium phone stand out more. As for me? I don’t really understand the point of bringing titanium into the mix — especially if the net benefit is making the phone a couple of ounces lighter. Titanium is expensive There have been plenty of rumors floating around claiming that the iPhone 15 Pro series may be subject to a price hike compared to the iPhone 14 Pro. While there are plenty of upgrades that may account for a price increase, not to mention general economic pressures on the supply chain, I can’t help but wonder how much of an impact swapping stainless steel for titanium will have on the iPhone 15 Pro’s price. Titanium is significantly more expensive than stainless steel. Prices vary based on grade, but since titanium is a much rarer element than both iron and carbon (the main components of stainless steel), the price is significantly higher. We’re talking as little as $1 per kilogram of stainless steel vs $35+ for a kilogram of titanium. Titanium’s properties, which include high strength to weight ratio and resistance to corrosion among other things, make it rather sought after in industrial use. The aerospace industry in particular uses a heck of a lot of titanium. High demand for a rare commodity has never made the price go down. Companies as big as Apple have a lot of buying power, and they can presumably use that as leverage when they’re looking for parts and materials. The problem is you’re not likely to get titanium for stainless steel prices anymore than you could buy an iPhone for the price of a Moto g.  The additional cost of those materials has to be picked up somewhere, and it would be very anti-capitalist for a business to absorb those costs at the expense of its profit margins. That means the customer has to bear the brunt of the cost, which isn’t ideal considering an iPhone 14 Pro already costs a minimum of $999. Sure, the strength to weight ratio does lower the amount of titanium you need to create a durable phone casing. But that doesn’t change the fact that it is prohibitively more expensive in the first place. The glass is still a weak link The thing about smartphones is that they’re still reliant on a big panel of glass on the front — though many premium devices also slap one on the back now, too. Glass is pretty fragile stuff, as many people will attest, and even the latest super-strong phone glass isn’t immune from damage in the right circumstances. Sure it may not shatter for no apparent reason — like some phones were known to do a decade ago — but even something as simple as an accidental drop can cause some serious damage. You only have to look at what happens to the Samsung Galaxy S23 during drop tests to see that even strengthened smartphone glass is still incredibly fragile. And this phone is one of the few that uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the strongest display glass Corning has on offer. Even Apple’s Ceramic Shield, which is also made by Corning, doesn’t fare so well in drop-testing. And no amount of strengthened metal in the frame is going to change that fact. Not unless someone can figure out how to make transparent aluminum in a cost-effective way. My point here is that your phone needs adequate protection from damage. Yes, I'm advocating for use of one of the best iPhone 14 Pro Max cases, possibly a screen protector too, and even basic options can go a long way to protecting your phone from harm. No amount of incoming titanium alloy can say the same thing.  And, frankly, why should we have to contend with an inevitable price increase when the metal in question isn’t actually going to make much of a difference when it counts? Titanium may sound impressive, but the practicalities of it don’t seem to be worth it. Not to me anyway. Bottom line I can see the appeal of titanium. It offers that perfect blend of strength with a low weight, in addition to some extra protection from corrosion — and it's a great marketing tag. The problem is that it’s also more expensive, which in turn makes the iPhone 15 Pro series more expensive, at a time when the cost of everything else has been on the rise. Cost issues are one thing, but if you think about it titanium doesn’t really add much practical benefit to a smartphone beyond its weight. It’s not noticeably stronger than stainless steel, and even if it were, the display glass is still too fragile for it to make much difference. Plus. I don’t know about you, but I don’t really pay much attention to how much my phone weighs. Or its thickness, for that matter. So how about we save the titanium for something that’s actually important, like medical devices or a new space shuttle, and let smartphones deal with the cheaper metals?

Apple’s upcoming A17 Bionic chip promises to be a massive leap forward in terms of performance and possibly battery life too.
 While last year’s A16 Bionic was only a moderate improvement on its predecessor, that might actually help the A17. Indeed, the A16's incremental gains were rumored to caused by Apple “too ambitious with adding new features,” forcing it to scale back — which could benefit the A17 a year later. Here’s everything we know about Apple’s next big chipset. A17 Bionic release date There is some speculation that this year’s iPhone 15 family may launch in October, but that’s only been predicted by one analyst. Either way, we don’t have long to wait to see how the A17 Bionic performs. There’s not too much mystery here. iPhone 12 aside, which had the excellent excuse of a global pandemic, every numbered iPhone of the last decade has come out in September. Even with the coronavirus, the iPhone 12 only slipped by a month. A17 Bionic: Which iPhone 15 models? The bad news is that not all iPhones will rock the new internal component. Until last year, both Pro and regular handsets shipped with the same chipset, but in a bid to upsell the more expensive model, Apple made the A16 Bionic chip an iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max exclusive. This is why we’re expecting only the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models to feature the power of the A17 Bionic chipset. The regular iPhone 15 will inherit the A16 from last year’s Pro models. It’s possible the A16 also eventually end up in an iPad or two as well. Notably, the iPad mini 6 came with the A15 chipset, and the iPad mini 7 is rumored to be imminent. A17 Bionic specs and performance The first thing to note about the upcoming A17 Bionic chip is that it’s said to be Apple’s first to embrace the 3nm manufacturing process. The A16 is a 4nm chipset, and the smaller manufacturing process in its successor means you can fit far more transistors in the same space (between 18 and 24 billion, according to some rumors). That’s expected to lead to 35% better power efficiency than its predecessor, which will invariably help battery life. It also means a big boost to performance, and recent leaked benchmarks seem to confirm this, assuming they prove to be legitimate. The Geekbench scores show around a 23% boost to single-core performance, and a massive 26% leap in multi-core. There are no such graphical benchmarks to look at yet, but a deep dive from The Information revealed that last year’s A16 Bionic chip was originally due to offer a “generational leap” for the GPU including support for ray tracing.  This was abandoned, as it reportedly made handsets too hot and hit the battery hard, but hopefully some of the gains can be restored now Apple is embracing the 3nm manufacturing process. One thing to be aware of is a slightly sketchy rumor suggesting that Apple’s chipmaker TSMC will change how it makes the A17 Bionic chip in 2024. While clearly a cost-saving exercise, reports differ as to whether this will improve performance, weaken it, or make no difference whatsoever. Hopefully more will become clear soon. Finally, with Apple not making its own 5G modems yet (the iPhone SE 4 might be the first test), it looks likely that the A17 Bionic will be paired with the Snapdragon X70 5G chip. This isn’t an enormous upgrade on the X65 in the iPhone 14 Pro, but it does contain an AI processor to monitor and optimize connections for smoother networking. A17 Bionic outlook The relatively modest upgrade from A15 to A16 means that the A17 Bionic could be a huge leap forward for Apple. With the A16 Bionic still topping performance charts, Apple will be quietly confident that it’s set to hold its title of the speediest smartphone with the iPhone 15 Pro.

titanium is overrated.
i doubt the price bump for the 15 Pro / Max will be solely due to the titanium material but rather the surge of raw mats for components. the price of titanium won't be much of an impact from a business standpoint, marginally not significant. also titanium is already in use with the Apple Watch Ultra and honestly from a long-term user, i can tell you that i prefer the stainless steel finish over titanium anytime. titanium scuffs easily when knocked on harder compound surfaces and it does not give me a very 'reassuring' feeling as compared to the stainless steel models - never had any single scratch on them after a year+ of usage. my Ultra.. scuffed and dented after 2 months lol. regardless of the material / finishing, we will eventually slap a case and call it day - so doesn't matter la what material they use. |

In the past couple of months you may have seen stories about the EU forcing phone makers to design phones in a way that lets users replace their own batteries. While a lot of this story's focus has been on Apple, it sounds like the company isn’t treating this legislation as any serious threat.
Despite some headlines you may have seen, the point of this law isn’t to mandate removable batteries — such as those you’d find in old-school Androids or older feature phones. Instead, the point is to ensure users are capable of replacing the batteries themselves, without needing anything other than “commercially available tools."  Apple has been hitting back at this, with Apple SVP Hardware Engineering John Ternus discussing the ruling in an interview with German YouTube channel Orbit. Ternus discusses that increased repairability is often at odds with long-term durability. "You can make an internal component more maintainable by making it discrete and removable, but that actually adds a potential point of failure." He then added that by "using the data, we can understand which parts of the phone need to be repaired and which parts are actually better made so reliable that they never need to be repaired. It’s always a kind of balance." It’s not surprising that Apple has this kind of philosophy. This is the same company that solders RAM and SSDs in a bunch of its machines, particularly MacBooks. That makes it nearly impossible to replace or upgrade them by yourself.  Repairability vs water resistance Ternus also noted that better repairability can compromise water resistance — one thing customers often seem excited about after experiencing it first hand. Sometimes after the phone has been submerged for multiple days. "To get this level of water resistance, there are a lot of high tech adhesives and sealants to make everything waterproof," Ternus said. "but of course it makes the opening process a little more difficult. So there is a balance." This is rather a valid point, since those seals can be affected by any number of external factors. Anyone who’s been denied an in-warranty repair because of alleged water damage, despite the phone being IP68 rated, will likely have been told as such during arguments with the customer service rep. Or maybe that was just my experience with Samsung. Plus, without access to Apple’s adhesives and sealants, it’s not as though people could easily reseal the phone themselves. Then again, water resistance and replaceable batteries are not mutually exclusive. The Samsung Galaxy S5, for instance, had an IP67 water resistance rating and let you swap out the battery in a few short seconds — no tools required  iPhone repairability is already on the rise — but is it enough? Ternus also noted that Apple has taken measures to make the iPhone easier to repair in general, which likely includes the battery. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have what’s called “mid-body architecture” which allows the phone to be opened up from the front and back — giving easier access to different internal components. It’s rumored that this design will also be coming to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max later this year. However, this architecture didn’t stop the cost of a replacement battery rising from $89 on the iPhone 13 series to $99 on the iPhone 14 series. The cost of a new back glass plate did drop by $180 between the two subsequent generations, though, and battery replacement is free if you have AppleCare Plus. While not mentioned, Apple has also launched the self-service repair program, which allows people to fix their devices at home — iPhones included. The cost of an iPhone 14 battery repair is $53.47 if you return your old battery for recycling. You also need to account for the cost of tools, which you can rent for 7 days at the cost of $49. Of course that probably wouldn’t fly with the EU, since the legislation specifically states that repairs should be carried out by commercially available tools, rather than specialized ones. Unless the specialized tools are provided free of charge. It also forbids “proprietary tools, thermal energy or solvents” in the disassembly process. Historically, Apple has been pretty fond of proprietary screws, though the DIY repair community is usually pretty quick to reverse engineer them. It’s also not the only offender in this category, even if it is the most well-known example.  Still, from the sounds of things Apple is gearing up to fight this new EU mandate in whatever way it can, even if that means finding loopholes and other ways to workaround the issue. Apple itself held off on adopting a common charger for as long as it could, and did plenty of complaining in the run up to the USB-C mandate being passed. Though in that instance, the company did roll over and accept its new lot very quickly. Apple was never going to add pop-out removable batteries to the iPhone, but it would be nice to see more emphasis on repairability in phones that aren’t dirt-cheap Nokias or outliers like Fairphone. The new EU rules aren’t supposed to officially roll out until 2027, so it’s going to be a while before we see how this plays out. Until then your easiest option for an iPhone battery replacement is a quick trip to the Genius Bar. Source: Apple hits back at EU rules — says replaceable iPhone batteries are a bad idea |

QUOTE(Piers @ Jul 21 2023, 11:51 PM) curved front screen🙈 QUOTE The iPhone 14 Plus is the ugly duckling of Apple’s product line-up, with weak sales that suggest consumers aren’t that interested in a larger version of the standard iPhone 14. But with the iPhone 15 lineup on the way, and the impending launch of the iPhone 15 Plus, it may be time to give Apple’s plus-sized iPhone a try.  The iPhone 15 Plus hasn’t been getting a lot of attention from the rumor-mill, perhaps because its predecessor wasn’t as popular as it could have been. Then again, if last year is anything to go by, we’re looking at a phone that just happens to be a larger version of the iPhone 15. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially with the rumors of a price hike hitting the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Here’s why you should consider the iPhone 15 Plus as your next iPhone. It's could be way cheaper than the Pro One of the criticisms faced by the iPhone 14 Plus was the high $899 price tag, especially in light of how unexciting the phone looked on paper. We’re not expecting the iPhone 15 Plus to get a price cut, but we haven’t heard anything about the price rising either. That isn’t true of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which are rumored to get a price increase of $100-$200 a piece.  We still don’t know whether the iPhone 15’s price will be going up, but rumor is that manufacturing costs could have risen by as much as 12%. If Apple passes all that extra cost onto the consumers, it would mean the iPhone 15 Plus’s price could go up by over $100. It wouldn’t be ideal if a price hike really does happen, but it would still mean the iPhone 15 Plus is noticeably cheaper than the Pro and the Pro Max models. Assuming a $200 price hike is accurate, an iPhone 15 Pro would cost $1,199, while the Pro Max would cost $1,299. That means you could be saving as much as $300 opting for the iPhone 15 Plus. A bigger screen than the iPhone 15 We’re not expecting any major changes to the design of the iPhone 15 family, and the size of the phones’ respective displays are included in that. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro are expected to have the same 6.1-inch display as their iPhone 14 counterparts, while the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro max are expected to stick at 6.7 inches.  While there are no options for anyone wanting a smaller phone, those of you that prefer a larger display have to choose between the iPhone 15 Plus and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Given the Pro Max’s high cost, and any potential issues with supply, the iPhone 15 Plus will likely be the best alternative for the full-screen experience. That said, it's unlikely that the Plus will be getting more premium display features, like the LTPO display — which offers a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. In fact, we may not see a move from the 60Hz LTPS displays until the launch of the iPhone 17. All the iPhone 15 upgrades — but with a bigger battery The only major difference between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is size, and from what we’ve heard so far it’ll be the same situation this year. That means the iPhone 15 Plus will get all the same upgrades, including things like USB-C connectivity, the Dynamic Island, the A16 Bionic chipset, and potentially even a 48MP camera lens with a larger sensor — which helps capture more light.  Not to mention the fact that the rumours currently claim the iPhone 15 Plus will have a massive 4,912 mAh battery. That’s bigger than all the other three iPhone 15 models, including the iPhone 15 Pro Max. We don’t know how well it will perform yet, but since the iPhone 14 Pro Max has one of the best phone battery lives with a 4,323 mAh battery, the iPhone 15 Plus could give it a run for its money. You will miss out on all the biggest upgrades coming to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. So you might have to sacrifice a titanium frame, action button, 3nm A17 Bionic chip and all those other extra hardware flourishes. Being a non-Pro model means you won’t be getting a telephoto camera either. But if you can handle life without all the Pro upgrades, then the iPhone 15 Plus is still shaping up to be a significant upgrade over last year. There’s less chance of a shortage Trying to get an iPhone 14 in the weeks and months after launch was a nightmare — especially if you had your heart set on an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max. COVID-related production issues meant there was a limited supply of iPhone 14 Pro series phones, and combined with high demand it meant getting hold of one quickly was basically impossible.  The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus didn’t have quite the same problem, with significantly lower demand. No doubt due to the sheer lack of upgrades compared to the iPhone 13 that came out the year before. The iPhone 14 Plus was hit hardest by that lack of interest, with reports claiming Apple cut production by 70-90% within two weeks of release. A month later reports claimed Apple had stopped shipping iPhone 14 Plus panels, suggesting the company had more devices than it could reasonably sell. We’ve already been hearing rumors about potential production issues with the iPhone 15 series — especially where the Pro models are concerned. While Apple anticipates lower demand this year, those reports still anticipate possible shortages. If last year is anything to go by, there’s a very good chance the iPhone 15 Plus will be minimally affected by this. If only because there’s likely to be much lower demand for the phone. So if a worst case scenario does play out for the iPhone 15 Pro series, the Plus could prove to be a quick way to upgrade. Everything that makes an iPhone an iPhone The most important thing to remember about the iPhone 15 Plus is that it is an iPhone. For a lot of people out there, that’s the most important thing of all. That means the phone is guaranteed to come with all the things you can’t get anywhere else. iOS 17, several years of software and security updates, MagSafe, some of the best computational photography software, and accessory support on a scale that would make a Google Pixel insanely jealous.  There’s also the topic of the A16 Bionic chipset. It may not be the A17 Bionic, but it’s certainly better than anything Android phones currently have to offer. Combine it with the giant battery that’s been rumored, and you have the potential for some fantastic battery life as well. We’re also likely to see fantastic photo capabilities, especially with the rumored 48MP lens. So, yes, the iPhone 15 Pro Max might be worth the splurge. But the iPhone 15 Plus could be more than good enough for many shoppers. Source: Forget iPhone 15 Pro — why you should consider the iPhone 15 Plus |

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)? |

TH ada 2 stores but AFAIK never the first wave/batch. So having a physical Apple Store =/= first wave.TH is usually late by us 1 week or the same week. Lion city pulak first wave. Maybe their purchasing power is higher there. Who knows, maybe things will change starting this year or the next. Anyone working inside knowing anything? Share sikit. |

The Dynamic Island wasn’t the only big change to the screen that Apple made with the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max – the company also gave them an always-on display. As with the Dynamic Island, this was exclusive to the Pro models, but will it remain a Pro-exclusive with the iPhone 15 line?
 After all, the Dynamic Island – which we were big fans of in our iPhone 14 Pro review and iPhone 14 Pro Max review – is rumored to be trickling down to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, so it’s not unrealistic to think the always-on display could as well. Below then, we’ll look at the rumors to see whether we're likely to get an iPhone 15 always-on display, and which models specifically will and won't have this feature. Before that though, we’ve included an overview of what an always-on display actually is, and what Apple’s take on it is like. What is an always-on display? An always-on display is much like what it sounds – a screen that’s never (or rarely) actually off. In practice, what that means is that when you press the power button to turn the screen off (or it turns off on its own through inactivity), it will still display some information, rather than going totally black and blank.  This could include things like the time, the date, and notifications. It’s a feature that Android phones have had for a while, but it only arrived on iPhones with the iPhone 14 Pro line. Different phones handle it a bit differently, with most Android phones displaying the screen in black and white when the always-on display kicks in. This is likely both to conserve battery and make it not look like you’ve simply left the screen fully on. However, Apple’s approach involves color, albeit more muted shades than when you wake the phone up. With Apple’s always-on display, you can optionally show the lock screen wallpaper and notifications, or you can disable one or both of those options. With both disabled, the always-on display will just show the time and any other widgets you’ve set up on your lock screen, against a black background. Things like timers will also be shown, but you won’t see the seconds count down, you’ll just see the nearest minute. Whether looking at Apple’s take or Android’s, a key aspect of an always-on display is a low refresh rate, so that the battery doesn’t drain as much as with the screen on. In the case of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the refresh rate drops all the way to 1Hz. That’s down from a maximum of 120Hz, when you’re actively using the phone, and it means there’s minimal pull on the battery – though there’s still some, so if you prioritize battery life above all else, you might want to disable the always-on display. Will the iPhone 15 have an always-on display? As noted above, Apple drops the refresh rate to 1Hz with the always-on display, and for that reason it’s looking unlikely that we'll get an iPhone 15 always-on display, because a leak suggests the iPhone 15 will stick with a 60Hz screen – one that can’t deviate from that refresh rate.  Slightly more recently, display expert Ross Young claimed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the standard iPhone 15 will be stuck with an LTPS (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) display, like last year. While no specific mention of an always-on display was made, that essentially rules out the ability to drop to 1Hz, as Apple requires LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) displays for that. In fact, Young went so far as to say that the standard iPhone models won’t get LTPO screens until the iPhone 17, in 2025. If these leaks are true, then the iPhone 15 almost certainly won’t have an always-on display, as it would probably drain too much battery. That said, while no leaks have explicitly suggested the phone will have an always-on display, we haven’t heard anyone specifically say it won’t either, and only a couple of sources have even talked about the refresh rate. So while unlikely, it’s not impossible that the iPhone 15 will have an always-on screen. What about the iPhone 15 Plus? The leaks above specifically say that only the Pro models will have the ability to drop to a 1Hz refresh rate, and based on past form, we’d expect the iPhone 15 Plus to use the same screen technology as the standard iPhone 15 anyway.  All of which is to say, the iPhone 15 Plus probably won’t have an always-on display, and if the iPhone 15 doesn’t (as has been rumored) then again, the Plus almost certainly won’t either. As with the iPhone 15, we can’t completely rule out this feature, but it’s looking unlikely, and with Apple rumored to be bringing the Dynamic Island and a 48MP camera to the standard and Plus models, it makes sense that it would hold some other features back, to ensure the Pro models still stand out above the standard and Plus phones. Will the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max still have an always-on display? Apple doesn’t often remove features from its phones, and with the always-on display feature only having been introduced last year, it’s very unlikely the company would ditch this for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. So while we probably won't see an iPhone 15 Plus or iPhone 15 always-on display, the Pro models will almost certainly include an always-on display again.  There’s further evidence for this in iOS 17, which includes a new StandBy feature designed to improve the always-on display. With StandBy, you can essentially turn your iPhone into a smart display when it’s charging. In this mode it can display a lot more things than the standard always-on display (since battery drain is much less of a concern), and it doesn’t mute colors either. It’s unlikely that Apple would keep building on the always-on display idea if the feature wasn’t going to be supported by future phones, so we’d be shocked if the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max didn’t include it. We may well see other upgrades beyond StandBy as well, but that remains to be seen. Regardless, we’d guess these would be software changes – meaning that as with StandBy, they’ll probably also come to the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

One of the biggest changes rumored to be coming to the iPhone 15 is the USB-C connector. After spending its 16 years of existence using some kind of proprietary charging cable, Apple is finally adopting the same standardized connector as everyone else — even if it may not entirely be Apple’s choice to do so.
This is a big deal. Partly because it means iPhones won’t be the odd one out where charging and accessories are concerned, but also because of how much more advanced USB-C has the potential to be compared to the Lightning cable. The problem is there’s a very real chance Apple will screw it all up by being, well, all Apple about it.  Or at least that’s what the rumors have been saying, and there’s no guarantee that the online speculation has any degree of truth. But. if I’m being honest it would actually be more surprising if Apple didn't do something to ruin USB-C’s potential on the iPhone. iPhone 15 USB-C may be limited — unless you buy Pro Lightning first debuted in 2012, back when USB was not as good as its more recent incarnations. It was a time when USB 2.0 reigned supreme, and Lightning has been stuck at that level ever since — complete with the 480 Mbps data transfer rate. Meanwhile USB has advanced through several different versions, resulting in the most recent USB 4 version 2 — which offers 80 Gbps data transfer speeds. Currently, USB-C to USB-C cables are also capable of charging speeds up to 240W, though your actual charging speed will depend on whichever device you’re actively using. iPhones currently top out at 20W, provided you’re using a USB-C to Lightning charger and cable. I’m bringing this up because there is a rumor claiming that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus may be stuck at the same level as Lightning. Both phones are still rumored to be getting USB-C ports, but the actual port itself will be USB 2.0. The changes are effectively skin deep, and both phones will have the same speed-based limitations as the Lightning cable. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will reportedly have no such limitations, and word is the two devices will support USB 3.2. It’s not the fastest or most recent version of USB, by any means, but it still offers 20 Gbps transfer speeds — more than 40 times faster than USB 2.0. This more advanced version of USB also opens up the potential to connect to more accessories that USB 2.0 isn’t fast enough to handle, including external displays . The good news here is that USB-C’s maximum charging speed isn’t affected across different versions of the standard. “Hi-Speed USB” as USB 2.0 is now officially known can still handle charging speeds up to 240W if you have the right kind of cable. So in a situation where the iPhone 15’s type-C port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, the only charging restrictions you’ll face will come directly from Apple. This may be the result of the phone’s hardware, and how much power it can safely receive at any given time, or it could come from some specific software-induced shenanigans. Made for iPhone could also make the transition If you go out and buy a Lightning cable right now, you are left with two choices. Either buy one that has been certified by Apple, or buy one that hasn’t and deal with the fact your maximum charging speed will be cut in half. That’s all thanks to Apple’s “Made for iPhone” program (MFi), which certifies chargers and accessories to ensure they are fit for purpose. Meaning people can see the logo and understand that the product in question is both safe and sufficiently high quality.  Apple doesn’t do this out of the goodness of its heart; the company earns royalties on sales of Made for iPhone products. We don’t know how much Apple actually makes, but it does fall under the Wearable, Home and Accessories department that pulled in $41.1 billion last year — though this number does include money from the sale of products like the Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, and so on. Up until now the MFi program has been limited to Apple’s in-house connectors — MagSafe, Lightning, and such. USB-C has been left alone, despite the growing number of Apple products that use the connector. But none of those products are the iPhone, which might as well be Apple’s personal money-printing machine — accounting for 52% of the company’s revenue in 2022. So it’s no surprise that there have been rumors the Made for iPhone program may be making the jump to USB-C to coincide with its debut on the iPhone 15. That means using the USB-C cable and charger that came with, say, a Google Pixel, likely won’t be able to charge an iPhone 15 as fast as one made, or certified, by Apple. The transition to USB-C was meant to facilitate better compatibility between devices. The idea is that your Android charging cable won’t be rendered completely unusable because you upgraded to an iPhone — or vice versa. EU officials have even gone on record to say that any Made For iPhone-style restrictions would be illegal in the region. Ensuring safety is one thing, but it’s not like we’re back in the early days of USB-C when stories of exploding chargers were all over the place. And it’s certainly rather suspicious that we never saw any sign of Made for iPhone going after USB-C until we started hearing believable reports that the port would be coming to its best selling product. Bottom Line In fairness to Apple, it’s not the only company to introduce proprietary restrictions on USB-C. Various companies have restricted the fastest charging speeds to their own homemade chargers, with third party alternatives being forced to use significantly slower speeds. But the number of companies that have done this has dwindled, especially as USB Power Delivery has gotten more common. USB-C has a great many benefits over Apple’s Lightning cable, least of all the fact that the port doesn’t have to be stuck in 2012, the way Lighting does. But the rumors of these restrictions almost feels like Apple is throwing a tantrum at being told what to do. Much like asking a child to eat their broccoli, the desired results might not be what you’d initially hoped for. The U in USB stands for Universal, but by potentially applying these restrictions, USB-C on the iPhone 15 may be anything but.

Last week, the latest tvOS 17 beta revealed four model numbers that almost certainly correspond with the upcoming iPhone 15 handsets. But there were also two mystery models: iPhone14,1 and iPhone14,9, which don’t seem to correspond to anything.
 Now the developer who originally found the model numbers has come up with his own theory. AppleDBdev’s @aaronp613 believes the two model numbers don’t refer to a new iPhone SE or the mythical foldable iPhone Flip, but two older handsets refreshed with USB-C connectivity. The logic here is simple. 16 refers to the upcoming A17 chipset (powering the iPhone 15 Pros), 15 references the A16 (regular iPhone 15s) and 14 to the A15, which powers both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. Apple typically discontinues Pro models after a generation, presumably to avoid them looking like an appealing budget option, so the regular handsets seem more likely candidates. To be clear, @aaronp613 is explicit that this is guesswork rather than inside information, but it makes a kind of sense. If Apple is about to make the jump into USB-C accessories, why wouldn’t it refresh an older and soon-to-be cheaper model with the current connectivity? The quibble I would personally have with this theory is it being the iPhone 13 rather than the 14. To me, it would make more sense for Apple to keep the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus around for another generation, and the numbers still fit given both also use the A15 chipset. For his part, @aaronp613 addresses this directly, arguing that it “would make more sense to discontinue the iPhone 14 line and have the 13 as a cheap option.” I don’t entirely buy this. Although the hardware has barely changed between them, casual phone buyers will still be more inclined to buy something with a higher number attached. Unless Apple is having seller’s remorse for killing off the mini range, I just can’t see a reason for it to give USB-C to the 13 over the 14. We should find out for sure soon enough. For over a decade, Apple has released new numbered handsets in September (with only a Covid-shaped October exception in 2020), and the latest rumor suggests we could be looking at a September 12 reveal this year.

More images apparently confirming the iPhone 15's using a USB-C port have been posted to Twitter/X by leaker Majin Bu. Except one chip on the new port's circuit board may be cause for concern.
The images, apparently of the charging board for the iPhone 15 Plus, back up what we've heard rumored several times already: that Apple will ditch Lightning ports after ten years, and move the new iPhone 15 series (and possibly the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus too) to USB-C, as it's been doing with iPads over the past several years. And just in time too, since the European Union's law ordering electronic devices to use a common charging port will go into force next year.  But complicating this is a mystery 3LD3 chip also present on the charging board. This is an Apple-designed chip according to Majin Bu, and therefore it's hard to know what it does. Bu's hunch is that it's for "transmission encryption," to protect data being transferred through the port, but an Apple-specific chip on a connector like this has set alarm bells ringing.  Apple could be introducing limitations While USB-C is a very common port, there have been rumors and more general fears that Apple will be doing its best to ensure its current Made for iPhone (MFi) program still exercises control over what will work properly with iPhones. It's been tipped that Apple could limit the performance of USB-C cables and accessories that it hasn't approved with the iPhone 15. The idea is apparently that while any USB-C accessory will work with the iPhone, only those made by companies with an Apple license will get access to the full data and charging speeds. This could be illegal under the EU's common charger law according to EU legislators, but they don't know any more about Apple's plans than we do.  This is obviously not confirmed yet, and even the rumors are not that well-supported. But considering how Apple's been hanging on to the aging Lightning port for as long as it reasonably can in order to keep users and companies using its proprietary tech, we've got cause to think Apple could spoil the iPhone 15's USB-C transition. We likely won't hear confirmation of the precise details of the iPhone 15's USB-C ports at the Apple September event where the phones are expected to debut. But we should still see Apple talk up the new port on the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, as well as other big upgrades like the Pro models' Action button and A17 Bionic chipset. Source: iPhone 15 USB-C port features a mysterious extra chip — and that's got us worried |

There are a lot of rumored changes coming to the iPhone 15 Pro, but one of those changes could spell the end of a feature that’s been part of the iPhone experience since day one. I am talking about the mute switch, a toggle that lets you easily switch your iPhone’s ringer on or off.
 According to a growing number of rumors, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are set to remove the mute switch and replace it with a new solid-state “action button”. It’s been claimed that this button will still be able to toggle the ringer on and off, though users will also be able to program the button to do various other useful features. The mute switch isn’t completely dead, since rumors have only applied to iPhone 15 Pro so far, but this is the end of an era for all smartphones — not just the iPhone. An era that I’m quite sad to see go. I’m going to miss the physical toggle I’m quite a big fan of physical buttons and toggles where it’s possible. The mechanical keyboard connected to my desktop is much more efficient and satisfying to use than the keyboard on my laptop, for instance. And buttons and dials in the car make a heck of a lot more sense than packing everything into a smooth, glossy touchscreen.  Physical objects offer a tactile experience, and it means you can tell what the situation is by touch alone. The volume of a phone is one of those things that can be an absolute nightmare in the wrong place and time. A physical toggle is an easy way to switch the volume off quickly and silently, while also being able to subtly check its position should the need arise. I’ve spent a lot of time with Android phones, and the various volume sliders in the software itself are really annoying to use. You could try and rely on the volume buttons alone, but considering there are five separate volume sliders in Android right now, there’s no guarantee that it’ll make any difference to the right volume level if you’re not looking at the screen. Granted, Apple’s mute switch doesn’t silent every single noise. If you want to silent all volume, including alarms and media, you need to switch on Do Not Disturb in the Control Center. If I had my way I’d add a third setting to the toggle, much like OnePlus did with its Alert Slider, that lets you silence all noise. Unfortunately, that isn’t likely to be the case with the new Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro. Because a solid-state button is exactly as the name suggests. No physical movement means it’s going to feel exactly the same regardless of what phase your phone is in at any given time. Action button: At least we're getting something in return I can’t blame Apple for replacing the mute switch with something a little more modern, and frankly it’s surprising that it’s taken this long to do. Many of the toggle’s contemporaries were scrapped years ago, whether you’re talking about the old 30-pin charger, the headphone jack or even the home button. The only things that can claim the same level of longevity are the power and volume buttons, and that’s because they’re essential parts more than anything else.  Moving parts have a habit of wearing down over time, and the mute switch’s main job is moving from one position to another. No matter how much or little you use that toggle there’s always a chance that it will, eventually, wear down and break. A solid state button has no such issues, because it’s, well, solid. It’s also worth noting that we have heard rumors about iPhones replacing all their buttons with solid-state alternatives. Rumors that it would happen to the iPhone 15 Pro have been refuted several times, but there has been word that Apple could make the switch next year with the iPhone 16 Pro. In a way you could see the launch of the action button as a baby step towards that upgrade, which in turn could lead to a portless, seamless iPhone in the near future. And in Apple’s defense, if the rumors are true then it sounds like Apple isn’t taking a feature away. We’ve heard a bunch about what the Action Button could do, and one of its main purposes is to put the phone into silent mode. In other words, it’s still a mute switch of sorts — even if there’s no actual switch to speak of. Not like OnePlus, who just removed the alert slider and used the old “we needed that space” excuse. The fact the action button can be programmed to do other stuff, be it activate the flashlight, record voice memos, activate a shortcut, or something totally customizable, means that the former mute switch has a lot more use than before. Plus, it gives users more choice on how their phone works, which is something Apple’s only realized is a good thing over the past few years. Still, a solid-state mute button won’t be nearly as satisfying as the physical mute switch. Not just because you can flick it on and off, but also because you always know what position it’s in — even if you aren’t looking at it. An immovable button doesn’t quite have that same appeal. Outlook I understand what Apple is rumored to be doing here, and I can’t fault the logic behind swapping the mute switch for an action button. It does the same thing as before, but does it in a way that offers more if users want it that way. I’ve long argued that phone makers should give people more opportunities to choose, rather than dictating how their products be used, and the action button rumors are the perfect example of that in action.  But I can’t help feeling a little sad. The mute switch was there back in June 2007, when the very first iPhone landed in our hands, and it’s endured for the past 14 years. Since the action button is expected to be a Pro-exclusive feature we may still see the mute switch stick around for another year or two. But the writing seems to be on the wall, and it seems like the toggle is on its way out in the very near future. Source: The iPhone 15 Pro could be the end of an era — here’s why. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Aug 26 2023, 05:47 PM) coral is the ugliest colour ever. indeed, it's all marketing, need to see the real deal to appreciate... only one time bought white(4s), black always yyds🙈u can see that apple is smart to purposely make the colours of non-pro iphones uglier to boost the sale of pro model. before iphone was switches to stainless steel for the sides, apple is having decent nice colour for aluminium sides like rose gold etc.. now all the colours sxxk... |

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. Source: iPhone 15 Pro weight just tipped by leaker — titanium makes a difference |

Price to change battery at AASP is RM299 as my enquiry few weeks back.So thinking worth to go for it or not since the price of the phone itself is <rm500 or just go for 3rd party battery. Another option is suffer for few more months and get ip15, but from the rumours so far, ip15 does not seems to be promising enough. |

How much you think 15 Ultra would be?
So Ultra could be the one with periscope lens and would delay 3-4 weeks before. This post has been edited by yvliew: Sep 3 2023, 02:11 PM |

While we’re just ten days away from the iPhone 15 finally being unveiled, a new report in Korea suggests that those who want the brightest screen or best battery life might be better off delaying their upgrade for another year.
According to The Elec, Apple display suppliers LG and Samsung are encouraging the company to adopt micro-lens arrays (MLA) in the OLED panels for the iPhone 16.  MLA is a layer of microscopic lens placed on top of an OLED screen, and is found in some TVs. These take the light that would normally be reflected inside the panel and redirect them to the front of the display. This has two big advantages over OLED screens without MLA, explained by LG here. Not only does more light facing outwards mean that you get a brighter screen to look at, but it uses the same energy consumption — meaning it doesn’t impact battery life. Alternatively, you could drop the brightness from current levels to boost battery life without the user noticing. Either way, it’s a big improvement, considering the screen is one of the main battery hogs on any given smartphone. Apple weighing MLA OLED trade-offs But there are two drawbacks to the solution which prevent it from being a no-brainer for Apple to implement. The first is that the redirection of light comes with a cost: reducing the viewable angle of a screen.  That’s probably not a big problem if you’re just using your iPhone to browse the web or play a game in your hand, and you could even see Apple spinning it as a positive for privacy if it prevents the person next to you shoulder reading your emails. But then again it could be a dealbreaker if you like to prop your phone up to watch movies. The second drawback is less of a hurdle. It costs more to produce screens with MLA, but given the margins on iPhones, you can imagine Apple happily absorbing this (or passing the cost on to the consumer with a price hike) if it made the phone markedly better. Still, at the time of writing, The Elec says that Apple is yet to decide one way or the other, so it’s probably best not to base your buying decision on what may or may not happen in 2024’s handsets. The USB-C-toting iPhone 15 is widely expected to be revealed at the upcoming Apple event on September 12. Buyers of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus can look forward to devices inheriting several features from the iPhone 14 Pro including a 48MP camera and Dynamic Island. Meanwhile, those opting for the iPhone 15 Pro will likely get the faster and more efficient A17 chip, a programmable Action Button and a periscope lens if choosing the iPhone 15 Pro Max model.

Yeah, it’ll likely be announced at the same time but availability will be later, I suppose. I doubt there’ll be any distinctive feature in an Ultra that will make me wanna go for it instead of a regular Pro… periscope camera? Nah, don’t need it. Titanium frame? Stainless steel or aluminium works for me. A 6000mAh battery? Now then, maybe? Hahaha…. But I doubt we’ll ever even see a 5000mAh battery in an iPhone the poor sale of iphone 14 and 14 plus has already proven this. i doubt they will really announce it later. this is not their usual behaviour. likely just some wrong rumour.. |

sinktel prepaid app in lion city just updated with the following. sinktel has never offer esim for both prepaid/postpaid even at the year of 2023. same goes to starfug. only mwant offers it.
i suspect that this is the indication that iphone 15 series will be 2 esims instead of 1 physical sim and 1 esim as before for lion city market this year.  |

Hahaha - yeah, I have tried both the vanilla 12 and 13 and I do agree they are both much easier to manage than the Pro Max - especially the weight. I remember the 12's battery life wasn't as good as the 13's but both manage to get me through a day with an average of 4-5 hours screen time. Unfortunately I can't get those kinda numbers of the 12 Mini though.are we gunning for first batch again? Anyways, looking forward to the launch - just hoping the prices won't be crazy considering how weak the MYR is against the USD now. westlife liked this post

I'm just afraid they will abandon 256GB and start with 128GB, then 512GB, 1TB and 2TB.
256GB is the sweet spot for me because I have iCloud of 2TB. |

Upload is fine, download has recently improved, streaming has a bit of a lag, certainly not Netflix level but if you combine with family of 6 users it roughly sums up to just rm60 a year per person for 1TB of Onedrive cloud storage that includes all Microsoft Office Apps for Mac as well. |

With anticipation going strong for the iPhone 15 release, what has been an effective preorder method to receive the phone on launch day for you? I will never forget my sour experience preordering physically with Machines Mid Valley last year, so I will not patron them again. I am hoping for an option to preorder online with collection in store, thinking of Switch this time. Excited for Malaysian fans to collect our titaniums on launch day Sep 29.

I am hoping for an option to preorder online with collection in store, thinking of Switch this time. Excited for Malaysian fans to collect our titaniums on launch day Sep 29. Switch is good. I got my 14PM from them last year during pre-order. Everything went well and smooth. No drama. But I know many here would love the drama.

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 11 2023, 08:28 PM) 1080p at 30 fps for 128GB storage. no 4k at 30 fps for ProRes video recording. I try as much as possible to buy only the 128GB coz I don’t do any video recording and I’m on Apple One family plan so I have more than enough storage. That, and also the fact that I change phone every year (sometimes even twice a year) and my current usage is at 35GB if u buy 128gb, ur iphone is Castrated version.

The Iphone 15 you buy could be made in
For the first time, Apple will sell new made-in-India iPhone models on launch day (via Bloomberg). That means the iPhone 15 you buy on September 22 could have been manufactured in India, a sign that Apple’s worldwide supply chain infrastructure is taking significant steps to expand beyond China. While Apple has been making iPhones in India for some time, their production schedules have lagged behind the longstanding “primary” iPhone assembly facilities in China like Foxconn. A couple of years ago, it could take six months for India iPhone models to start entering the supply chain, following their September debut. This gap has gradually reduced. Last year, Made-in-India iPhone 14 models were only about six-to-eight weeks behind. This means the iPhone 15 is the first time an India-produced latest-generation Apple device is made available on the first day of sale. The iPhone 15 production ramp in India began in early August. India factories are making iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. However, it seems Apple is still dependent on China for assembly of its most premium iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. Nevertheless, having Made-in-India iPhone 15 units available at launch is a significant step in Apple’s long-term plans of reducing reliance on China for manufacturing. In total, Apple suppliers in India now produce about 7% of the total number of iPhones manufactured worldwide. Apple will officially announce the iPhone 15 at its September media event later today, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Stay tuned to 9to5Mac for full coverage of all the announcements. https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/12/iphone-15-mo...unch-day-india/ How attw You want to have a China or This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 12 2023, 06:23 PM |

Anyway looks like 15 Pro and the 15 Pro Max has separate cameras spec like the 12 Pro again but this time more noticeable with the optical zoom. Why can’t they make it the same like the 13 Pro and 14 Pro. I like the zoom lens or rumored as periscope lens. I use zoom function a lot when I go watching concerts. iPhone 12 Pro Max is the only time we get same time released with the US. Though my partner has a Samsung Ultra S23 to take videos and photos every time we watch concerts, it’s on top of our iPhone 12 PM and 13 PM but we both welcome this 5x optical zoom on iPhone 15 PM. We are definitely getting the 15 PM. |

Also from the way, they announced that iPhone 15 Pro supported USB 3, yet only USB 2 cable given in box is lmao. Basically USB 3 cable sold separately. At this point, it looks like Apple definitely gearing up to remove cable in box starting with iPhone 16. doubleM2 liked this post

I am hoping they are not region-locking the sideloading requirement from EU, otherwise I might have to source the phone from EU country.

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 13 2023, 08:55 AM) bolehland iphones are cheaper than lion city in fact. You can get GST refund if buy in SG as a non PR foreignerlion city iphone 15 pro starting at S$1,649 which is about RM 5,656.07 bolehland starting at From RM 5,499. that is rm157.07 cheaper. that's for the cheapest iphone 15 pro. if go up to iphone 15 pro max higher storage option even save more... Once you factor in the GST refund, it will be cheaper than buying in MYS |

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 13 2023, 08:40 AM) indeed. Thanks for highlighting this. basically upgrades: 1) Action button 2) usb-c (20x faster transfer speed) 3) A17 Pro chip - 10% faster for CPU and 20% for GPU 4) 5x optical zoom (for Pro Max model) 5) Precision Finding 6) Titanium frame and slimmer bezels Maybe this is the reason why bolehland gets to buy the iphone 15 series earlier (one week later than 1 batch countries)? becos this technically means that they dun forsee it will have so high demands comparing to the past? i recalled previously when iphone is still in high demand time, they dun even announce the pre-order/launch date for second batches or 3 batches countries so early also. Need to check about the Precision Finding when watching the playback later. Already book for iMos TG. Sadly STM boleh land as of now will only sell STM ip15 case, no planning of ip15 EC case so far, haish… |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 13 2023, 08:51 AM) If you’re asking about an iPhone vs a Xiaomi in this thread, I think you sort of can guess what answers you’re gonna get, hahaha… i quite second this.Having used plenty of Xiaomi phones in the past, I can say as far as bang for buck is concerned, nobody beats them in terms of their hardware to price proposition. But their software is a mixed bag - you may love it or loathe it. I’m in the latter category hence I’ve stopped buying Xiaomi phones for a couple of years or more now. tldr, once you go IP will never returns |

QUOTE(Feliex @ Sep 13 2023, 09:04 AM) Yeah bro Camera performance is subjective, because how you want a photo and video to look is very subjective.But this year in iPhone lineup, iPhone 15 Pro Max has best camera system with its optical 5x zoom, and even iPhone 15 Pro Max can do livestream because currently the 2023 MTV VMAs music awards show in the United States is using iPhone 15 Pro Max to livestream the entire award show on TV. I find that camera capability already much more shocking than anything from the Android camp. Though this is only the Pro Max though, the Pro and standard models no comment. Link to MTV VMAs 2023 broadcast replay is here, though you won't see a lot of comments discussing the iPhone here, they are discussing the award show https://reddit.com/r/popheads/s/3PNN1F3JfM I find the livestream broadcast quality of iPhone 15 Pro Max based on the VMAs livestream quality to be very good, definitely something worth boasting about.

Any material specialist here?
Wonder if the PVD coating is robust enough to go naked and whether the color can be scratched off easily |

QUOTE(yvliew @ Sep 13 2023, 02:33 AM) quite disappointed with the price and minor upgrade from 14 pro max. Quite hard to justify the upgrade.. from iphone 11 pro all the way to 14 pro max yearly upgrade there's no hesitation for me except this time.. Haha yea, but very much expected minimal upgrade..even from 13 pro to 14 is minimal but at least we got a ‘new’ notch…this time around not much…titanium is nice but with a case on it doesn’t matter..the 19g diff won’t be much too lol…still contemplating if I should upgrade…my contract is due for renewal though.. ezypepper liked this post

QUOTE(vez @ Sep 13 2023, 08:58 AM) FYI, 14 pro last year boleh land already 2nd batch, one week later than 1st batch countries ic. so it means there is still strong stock supply which one even cannot get the phone at launch date also at most delay 1 to 2 weeks can get the phone delivered to u. announcing Malaysia launch date seems to be started last year right after the Apple Event at Apple Store Malaysia this year is not first time ya the real crazy demand is iphone 6 plus -> which u missed the 1st batch, u can wait after 3 months only then get the phone. |

QUOTE(Feliex @ Sep 13 2023, 08:46 AM) currently using 13 Pro Max, don't know want to try 15 Pro Max or not... with the current spec price it does not have many upgrades, feel want to buy the Xiaomi 13 ultra (Leica) True optical ... hmm.. I bought the Xiaomi 13 Ultra while waiting for the 15 Pro Max to be released. I'd say, the Xiaomi UI these days mimic iOS pretty closely - your muscle memory will work things out for you most of the time. advised from you needed... In my personal opinion, it is a more of a solid camera only kind of setup as it's not a very nice phone to use thanks to MIUI.

I wanna praise Apple for one thing, I think this year iPhone 15 Pro Max maybe biggest camera leap for them. Although the event made the camera quite underwhelming, I've seen some output video of the camera (MTV VMAs 2023 livestream braodcast and Professional Music Videos shot on the iPhone 15 Pro Max)
Specifically the music video has great output. Behind The Scenes: Final Output of the Shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max Olivia Rodrigo Music Video: This post has been edited by ASoulNamedLeo: Sep 13 2023, 09:31 AM |

QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ Sep 13 2023, 08:29 AM) It must be one of the more mediocre updates I can ever remember. They should just call it 14S instead. yeap this year's event is boring.... expected the iphone to have minimal upgrades, but was hoping for more on the watch ultra 2.. mana tau UW2 is worse..just new band colours and 3000 nits brightness (which is unnecessary) and uses carbon means drop in quality..but I bet many UW1 users are happy, save their wallet.. |
